Wallpaper - Monterosso al Mare Italy Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by artist Michael Tompsett, this skyline wallpaper brings the coastal architecture of Monterosso al Mare to life through expressive watercolor splatters and painterly textures. Set against a clean white background, the silhouette blends deep mulberry purple with warm golden and earthy ochre tones. The artwork stretches horizontally across the lower half of the wall, allowing the architectural silhouettes and organic paint drips to command visual interest while keeping the upper space airy. Like all our wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally with a generous white expanse above it, we love this design on an uninterrupted wall in a living room, home office, or study. Placing it behind a low-profile sofa, desk, or credenza keeps the intricate buildings and coastal rock formations in clear view without competing with tall furniture. In a study or home office, the horizontal momentum grounds the space while maintaining an open, uncluttered atmosphere overhead.

Styling it

To complement the rich, artistic character of the skyline, we recommend balancing the room with warm, understated elements:

• Pair with warm wood furniture, such as walnut or mid-toned oak, which draws out the golden and earthy undertones in the cityscape.
• Introduce brass or antique gold metal accents on lighting or hardware to echo the warm tones in the skyline.
• Keep upholstered pieces and textiles in neutral cream, warm ivory, or soft oatmeal to let the deep purple artwork stand out.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a striking palette of dark mulberry purple, golden ochre, and warm earthy pigments against a crisp white backdrop. On adjacent walls, soft warm whites or pale ivory work beautifully to maintain the bright, gallery-like feel of the background. If you prefer a more enveloping look, bringing in a muted plum or deep aubergine on adjacent joinery or accents will pick up the dramatic mulberry tones in the skyline.
