Wallpaper - Roanoke Virginia Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Roanoke Virginia Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper by Michael Tompsett brings an expressive architectural silhouette into your room with a painterly, watercolor-inspired finish. The skyline of Roanoke, Virginia is composed in rich shades of dark mulberry purple and warm gold, set against a clean white background with dynamic paint splatters along the base. What we particularly like is the balance between the precise architectural outlines and the fluid, organic texture within the buildings. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and are completely PVC-free, featuring a subtle texture in the paper.

In the room

Because the skyline motif runs horizontally across the lower and middle portions of the mural wallpapers, the design creates an open feeling with plenty of white space above. We see this working beautifully as an accent wall in a living room, positioned behind a low-backed sofa or media unit so the landmark silhouettes remain in full view.

In a home office or study, the design introduces artistic energy without overwhelming the visual field. We recommend placing this design on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal progression of the skyline can be appreciated. Because of the strong contrast between the deep purple tones and the white backdrop, natural daylight helps highlight the finer watercolor splatters and tonal gradations throughout the city silhouette.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest letting the graphic character of the wall murals lead the room. Contemporary furniture with clean lines and low profiles works especially well, keeping sightlines open to the architectural forms.

To complement the rich hues in the artwork, pair the wallpaper with warm wood furniture or subtle brass and gold accents that pick up on the ochre splashes. Deep purple or plum textiles in a living room chair, cushions, or throws will tie the palette together nicely, while keeping larger surrounding surfaces relatively neutral to maintain visual balance.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich purple, dark mulberry, warm gold, and ochre, set against a crisp white ground. When selecting paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, a soft off-white or light neutral creates a clean and cohesive boundary that lets the mural stand out. For a moodier, more enveloping space, you could pull the deep mulberry or warm ochre into surrounding painted surfaces, upholstery, or accent pieces.
