Wallpaper - Thun Switzerland Skyline Concrete

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural design captures the silhouette of Thun in Switzerland set against a neutral, concrete-look background. The skyline itself features a dark, ink-like silhouette anchored across the lower third of the composition, with delicate paint drips and splatter effects trailing underneath. Above, the expansive neutral pebble-grey field carries the visual texture of weathered plaster, giving the mural a quiet, urban character. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the skyline motif sits horizontally along the lower portion of the design, we see this working exceptionally well on a main feature wall in a living room or a dedicated study. Placing lower furniture, such as a low-profile credenza, sofa, or desk, allows the architectural details of the turrets, bridges, and spires to remain fully in view. The open textured space above the skyline provides breathing room, preventing the wall from feeling crowded even in more compact spaces. In a wider room, the horizontal span of the cityscape grounds the setting and adds visual structure across an uninterrupted wall.

Styling it

The graphic contrast between the dark skyline and the concrete-toned backdrop naturally complements contemporary and wabi-sabi inspired interiors. We would pair this wallpaper with low-profile furniture in clean lines to echo the horizontal flow of the cityscape.

To balance the cool, urban aesthetic of the concrete visual texture, we like introducing warmth through surrounding elements. Black metal fixtures or matte dark hardware can tie into the deep silhouette, while tactile textiles and warm natural materials help soften the overall look and create an inviting living space.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on a monochrome palette of deep charcoal black set against pebble grey and soft stone neutrals.

To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend pulling the background tones into adjacent painted walls using warm off-whites, pale greys, or muted limestone shades. For accents and trim, charcoal or soft matte black details create a crisp relationship with the printed skyline. If you want to introduce colour elsewhere in the room, muted earth tones such as warm ochre, olive, or faded terracotta provide an appealing organic contrast without clashing with the neutral backdrop.
