Wallpaper - Split Croatia Skyline Concrete

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural design captures the recognizable silhouette of Split, Croatia, set against a warm, neutral background with the visual texture of weathered concrete and fine plaster. The skyline forms a bold, horizontal skyline across the lower half of the composition, rendered in deep black with spray-paint-inspired splatters and dripping pigment beneath the baseline. Historical landmarks, towers, and modern city structures stand clearly in high contrast against the soft pebble-grey field. Like all of our made-to-measure wallpapers, this design is PVC-free and printed on paper featuring a subtle physical structure that complements the urban motif.

In the room

Because the skyline sits along the lower third of the composition with generous open space above, this design works especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room, home office, or study. Placing the wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa or a clean-lined desk lets the architectural silhouettes remain visible without being cut off by taller furniture. The expansive neutral background helps maintain a sense of air and vertical space in rooms with standard ceiling heights, while the strong black horizon grounds the entire room along a single balanced line.

Styling it

We recommend letting the bold graphic profile of the skyline serve as the primary visual focus of the interior. Pairing the wallpaper with minimalist furniture, matte black metal accents, or warm architectural woods creates a contemporary, considered feel without competing with the illustration. Simple, unpatterned upholstery in textured grey, charcoal, or neutral linen balances the visual weight of the black silhouette.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is composed around a restrained palette of deep ink black and neutral pebble grey with warm stone undertones. To build a cohesive room scheme around it, we suggest using off-white, soft plaster, or light warm grey on neighbouring walls and woodwork. For a richer, more moody interior, deep charcoal or slate grey paint on adjacent surfaces can pull the dark tones of the skyline into the wider room.
