Wallpaper - Quito Ecuador Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Quito Ecuador Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper by Michael Tompsett brings together the distinctive architectural landmarks of Quito in a vibrant, artistic composition. What we particularly like about this design is the contrast between the graphic silhouette of towers, cathedrals, and monuments and the loose, watercolour-inspired paint splatters that form their base. Rich dark mulberry and purple tones blend with warm gold and ochre hues against a crisp, clean white background, giving the skyline an expressive, painterly character. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle physical structure in the paper, it makes a striking statement on any feature wall.

In the room

In a living room or a dedicated home office, we see this skyline mural working particularly well as a focused accent wall behind a low sofa or a desk. Because the architectural silhouette occupies the lower and middle portions of the mural while leaving generous open white space above, it creates a sense of vertical height without overcrowding the upper wall area. For long or open-plan spaces, we recommend giving this design a relatively wide, uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the city skyline can unfold from end to end.

Styling it

To let the dynamic paint textures and rich purple and gold palette take centre stage, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, contemporary lines. Darker wood tones or warm brass and bronze accents pick up the ochre and golden splatters naturally, while deep purple, plum, or charcoal upholstery anchors the lower section of the room. Keeping surrounding accessories uncluttered and purposeful helps maintain the graphic impact of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The motif itself combines deep mulberry, violet, and warm golden ochre set against a bright, neutral white backdrop. On surrounding walls, we recommend pulling from the clean background with an off-white or soft warm grey, which keeps the room feeling light and allows the skyline to stand out clearly. If you want to introduce deeper secondary tones through adjacent joinery, accent chairs, or textiles, rich aubergine, navy, or warm mustard yellow create an elegant, cohesive dialogue with the colours in the print.
