Wallpaper - Thun Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, this architectural silhouette brings the historic skyline of Thun, Switzerland, to life through expressive watercolor textures in deep purple, dark mulberry, and warm earthy gold. The design contrasts crisp rooftop profiles, bridges, and spires against a luminous white background, with organic ink splatters and dripping paint effects running along the lower edge. As one of our made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpapers, it introduces bold artistic character to an interior while maintaining an airy, balanced feel across the wall.

In the room

We see this skyline design working exceptionally well on a main feature wall in a living room or a dedicated home study. Because the horizontal skyline stretches across the composition with generous open space above, it creates a strong visual anchor without overwhelming the room. In a living room, positioning the mural behind a low-backed sofa or low shelving allows the detailed towers, turrets, and bridge outlines to remain completely visible. For a home study, the balance of crisp architectural lines and fluid, painterly textures offers an inspiring backdrop behind a desk. In rooms with ample natural light, the subtle shifts between the rich mulberry purples and warm gold tones become especially engaging throughout the day.

Styling it

When decorating around this design, we recommend letting the expressive pattern and distinctive palette take center stage. Pair the wallpaper with contemporary furniture featuring clean silhouettes and low visual weight to avoid crowding the skyline.

To complement the earthy gold and dark mulberry tones in the artwork, consider incorporating warm wood finishes, such as walnut or natural oak, alongside subtle brass or matte dark metal accents. Keeping surrounding upholstered furniture in quiet, neutral textiles allows the rich watercolor splashes to stand out naturally.

Colour combinations

The motif itself combines deep mulberry purple, soft violet washes, and warm earthy ochre against a crisp white backdrop. When selecting paint colors for adjacent walls and woodwork, soft off-white or light stone tones provide a clean continuation that matches the upper half of the design. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping atmosphere, picking up the dark purple or warm caramel tones from the artwork on adjacent trim or accent furniture will tie the entire space together harmoniously.
