Wallpaper - Baku Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Baku Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper brings together the striking architecture of Azerbaijan's capital through an expressive, watercolour-style silhouette. Created by Michael Tompsett, this graphic skyline features iconic landmarks like the Flame Towers and Baku Eye set against a clean, crisp background. Rich tones of dark mulberry purple blend with warm golden ochre, grounded by painterly splatters and ink-like drips across the base of the skyline. The bold horizontal composition creates an eye-catching focal point while leaving plenty of open space above. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room, home office, or dedicated study. Because the architectural detail sits across the lower-to-middle portion of the composition, it creates a grounded visual anchor without overwhelming the height of the room. In a home office or study, positioning the skyline behind a desk keeps the graphic silhouette in view while preserving a calm, open atmosphere above eye level. In a living room, giving the design a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full progression of Baku's modern and historic architectural landmarks to unfold naturally across the space.

Styling it

The expressive watercolour aesthetic and rich colourway pair naturally with contemporary and eclectic interior styles. We would balance the graphic silhouette by keeping surrounding large furniture relatively clean and streamlined in form. Deep wood tones or matte black metal accents echo the deeper mulberry pigments in the skyline, while warm metallic details such as muted brass bring out the golden ochre highlights. Keeping upholstery and larger fabrics in simple, unpatterned textures lets the architectural motif remain the visual centrepiece of the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around deep mulberry purple, warm gold, ochre, and soft ivory undertones, set against a crisp white backdrop. To complement these shades, we recommend pairing adjacent walls with soft warm off-whites or pale stone grey to maintain an open and airy feel. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping scheme, drawing out the deeper tones with an accent wall or joinery in dark plum, aubergine, or deep charcoal creates an intimate and sophisticated contrast.
