Wallpaper - Damascus Syria Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, this city skyline wallpaper captures the historic architecture of Damascus through an expressive watercolor-inspired silhouette. Splashes and splatters in rich tones of dark mulberry purple blend with warm gold and ochre hues against a crisp, clean white background. Domes, minarets, and modern structures rise from the painterly base, creating a balanced horizontal composition with plenty of open space above. Our custom made wall murals are produced to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an artistic architectural focus for your interior.

In the room

Because the skyline motif runs horizontally across the lower and middle sections with an open white background above, this design works especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing the mural wallpaper behind a sofa anchors the seating area while keeping the upper wall visually light. In a private study or home office, the architectural profile introduces an artistic and cultured backdrop behind a desk without overwhelming the room. The contrast between the deep purple watercolor splatters and the bright white field allows the design to hold its own in rooms with generous natural daylight as well as spaces lit by focused evening lamps.

Styling it

To complement the rich tones of this mural, we would pair it with furniture that echoes the warmth of the gold accents or balances the deep mulberry purple. A low-profile credenza or shelving unit in warm wood tones, such as teak or dark oak, provides a solid foundation beneath the skyline without cutting into the architectural silhouettes. For an eclectic or contemporary aesthetic, introduce decorative accents in brushed brass, antique gold, or deep plum upholstery. Keeping surrounding accessories relatively uncluttered allows the spontaneous watercolor textures and splatter details to remain the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a dynamic blend of dark mulberry purple, soft violet, warm golden ochre, and pale amber set against an off-white backdrop. On surrounding walls, a muted warm white or very soft ivory keeps the room feeling expansive and cohesive with the mural's background. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out the deep purple or a warm ochre for adjacent painted walls or joinery creates an intentional, gallery-like setting.
