Wallpaper - Wintherthur Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by artist Michael Tompsett, this Winterthur skyline wallpaper captures the architectural profile of the Swiss city through expressive watercolour-like splatters and fluid washes. Deep purple, rich mulberry, and warm earthy gold tones blend across the silhouette, set against a clean, plain white background that gives the cityscape distinct graphic definition. The contrast between crisp building contours and organic paint bleeds gives the composition an artistic, dreamy energy. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring an expressive urban focal point into your home while remaining easy to hang.

In the room

Because the architecture sits anchored across the lower half against an open white upper area, we see this working particularly well as a feature wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. In a living room, placing the skyline on a wide, uninterrupted wall behind a sofa allows the full horizontal span of the city profile to be appreciated without breaking up the landmark silhouettes. For a study or home office, the design introduces artistic character without overwhelming the room, as the generous negative space above the skyline keeps the wall feeling open and uncluttered.

Styling it

The balance of deep mulberry purple and warm ochre-gold offers plenty of opportunities to ground the room with contemporary, eclectic decor. We suggest pairing this mural with low-profile furniture so the detailed lower splatters and spires remain in clear view. Warm wood pieces, such as walnut or darker stained timber, complement the earthy gold tones in the silhouette, while clean-lined upholstery keeps the overall look tailored. Introducing quiet brass or aged metal accents through lighting fixtures or table frames can subtly highlight the warmer washes within the print without competing with the architectural forms.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines deep purple and dark mulberry with earthy gold, ochre, and warm amber tones against a crisp white backdrop. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, a warm off-white or soft muted taupe creates a cohesive, natural transition that respects the open background. If you want to echo the deeper shades of the skyline, consider bringing rich plum, deep aubergine, or muted mustard into accent cushions, throws, or decorative ceramics to tie the whole space together.
