Wallpaper - Wigan England Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural skyline wallpaper captures the distinctive silhouette of Wigan in a vibrant watercolor-like style. The horizontal cityscape is rendered in expressive shades of deep purple and warm, ochre-tinted gold against a clean white background, anchored at the base by painterly splashes and dynamic ink splatters. Landmark towers, gables, and historic facades emerge with graphic clarity while blending into fluid washes of tone. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions, printed PVC-free, and crafted on paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally with open space above, this design works especially well on wide, uninterrupted walls where the full span of the cityscape can unfold naturally. In a living room or study, we see it positioned behind a low sofa, credenza, or desk so the architectural details remain fully visible without being obscured by taller storage furniture. The high contrast between the saturated silhouette and the light background makes it a striking choice for a feature wall, while the clean upper section keeps the room feeling airy. In a hallway or staircase, the horizontal rhythm guides the eye along the wall, bringing local character into transitional areas of the home.

Styling it

The expressive purple and golden-yellow tones invite thoughtful pairings with surrounding furnishings:

• Balance the energetic paint splatters with clean-lined, contemporary furniture in warm wood tones such as oak or walnut.
• Introduce subtle brass or matte black accents in lighting and hardware to echo the deep contours and golden hues of the skyline.
• Keep larger upholstered pieces and curtains in understated, neutral textures to let the vibrant mural wallpapers carry the primary visual focus in the space.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centers on rich plum and violet purple, warm mustard and gold ochre, contrasted against a crisp white ground. When decorating around this motif, we suggest drawing out the softer background tones with off-white or light warm grey on adjacent walls and trim. For a more dramatic and cohesive scheme, deep aubergine, plum, or navy accents in cushions and rugs connect directly with the darker shadows in the cityscape, while mustard or honey-toned textiles bring out the golden highlights.
