Wallpaper - Oldham England Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Oldham England Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper features an artistic urban panorama by Michael Tompsett, rendered in expressive watercolour-style splatters and silhouettes. Rich tones of dark mulberry purple and warm antique gold define the architectural landmarks against a clean white backdrop, creating a striking skyline silhouette with genuine character. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a modern graphic statement to any accent wall.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal point in a living room, study, or home office. The horizontal flow of the skyline gives it a natural presence along a wider, uninterrupted wall, such as behind a sofa or behind a work desk. Because the lower section carries rich, concentrated colour while the upper area remains open and light, the pattern grounds the room without feeling visually heavy or overwhelming the space.

Styling it

To let the artwork take centre stage, we would pair this design with contemporary furniture in clean, understated silhouettes. Warm wood furniture, such as walnut or darker ash, complements the antique gold tones within the cityscape, while sleek brass lighting or hardware echoes the warm highlights. Keeping surrounding upholstery and textiles in quiet, neutral shades helps maintain balance, allowing the dramatic purple and gold splatters to define the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself combines deep mulberry purple, warm gold, and rich ochre against a crisp white background. In the surrounding space, adjacent walls in soft off-white or light warm grey keep the atmosphere airy while letting the skyline stand out clearly. For a richer, more moody palette, dark plum or charcoal accent pieces can be drawn from the deepest tones in the motif to create a cohesive, contemporary scheme.
