Wallpaper - Lausanne Switzerland Skyline Concrete

Created by Michael Tompsett, our Lausanne Switzerland Skyline Concrete wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Lausanne set against a warm pebble grey, concrete-look background. The graphic silhouette highlights landmarks such as the iconic cathedral spire and historic towers, anchored by expressive paint splatters and droplets along the base. We particularly like how the bold black skyline balances against the textured, neutral backdrop, giving urban architecture a distinct fine-art sensibility. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a calm yet graphic presence to modern interiors.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a home office, study, or living room where the horizontal skyline can span a main wall. Because the architectural detail sits across the lower-to-middle portion of the wall while the upper area remains open and textured, it gives the entire space a grounded, spacious feel. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa lets the full silhouette of spires and rooftops remain in view. In a study or home workspace, positioning it across the wall behind your desk creates an inspiring, artistic backdrop that introduces visual structure without overwhelming everyday focus.

Styling it

The balanced contrast of deep black and textured concrete grey makes this design versatile to furnish around. We recommend pairing it with clean, contemporary furniture shapes that echo the architectural lines of the motif. Darker wood tones or black metal accents connect naturally with the dark silhouette, while warm textured textiles help soften the overall look. Keeping surrounding decorative pieces relatively minimal allows the graphic detail of the skyline and the expressive paint splatter effect to stand out as the primary visual feature of the room.

Colour combinations

The motif itself is defined by deep charcoal black set against a base of pale pebble grey with subtle neutral undertones. For adjacent walls and painted trim, we suggest soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted stone shades to maintain a cohesive, gallery-like palette. If you want to introduce more depth or contrast in your furniture and accessories, deep slate, muted charcoal, or warm ochre accents complement the neutral backdrop while highlighting the graphic black skyline.
