Wallpaper - Wellington New Zealand Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Wellington New Zealand Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper brings an expressive urban silhouette into the home through Michael Tompsett's distinctive watercolour-style artwork. The cityscape silhouette of Wellington is formed through rich splatters and textured washes of deep purple, dark mulberry, and earthy ochre gold against a clean white backdrop. As with all our wall murals, the design is made-to-measure to fit your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline sits across the lower and middle composition with an open white space above, we see this working well on a main feature wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. In a living room, giving the design an uninterrupted wall behind a low sofa lets the full architectural silhouette and splatter details remain visible without competing with tall furniture. In a study or home office, placing the mural wallpaper behind a desk creates a focused, artistic backdrop that adds visual depth without overwhelming the rest of the workspace.

Styling it

We would pair this design with contemporary or eclectic furniture that echoes its clean yet expressive nature. Low-profile seating and streamlined desks in warm wood tones, such as walnut or medium oak, complement the earthy golden hues of the skyline. To balance the dramatic dark mulberry and purple tones in the artwork, keep surrounding textiles and upholstery relatively understated, opting for simple woven fabrics in natural cream or muted charcoal.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its deep purple, dark mulberry, warm gold, and crisp white background. On surrounding walls, soft warm whites or pale off-white neutrals maintain the bright, open feel of the upper section while allowing the silhouette to command attention. For deeper contrast, dark plum, charcoal, or deep ochre accents on cushions, throws, or painted woodwork create a cohesive dialogue with the motif's rich watercolour tones.
