Wallpaper - Belfast Northern Ireland Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural skyline wallpaper captures the landmarks of Belfast through a rich watercolor-style silhouette set against a crisp white background. Deep mulberry purples blend into warm ochre and gold tones, accented by energetic splatters and paint drips that give the skyline a dynamic, artistic presence. The horizontal composition highlights iconic structures like the shipyard cranes, cathedral spires, and modern architectural curves in a balanced, expressive panorama. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the artwork is composed as a clean horizontal skyline with generous open space above, we see this working particularly well as a focal point across a wider uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing the design behind a low-profile sofa allows the detailed architectural silhouettes and watercolor bleeds to remain fully visible. It also suits a home office or study, where the graphic structure of the cityscape provides visual interest without overwhelming the room. The horizontal band anchors the lower half of the wall, making it feel grounded while keeping the upper space airy.

Styling it

To let the expressive splash technique and skyline details take center stage, we would pair this design with clean-lined contemporary or mid-century furniture. Low credenzas or minimalist desks in warm walnut or painted dark finishes complement the architectural profile without competing with the motif. Simple matte black or brass accents on lighting fixtures subtly pick up on the warm gold and deep purple tones within the cityscape, maintaining a considered balance throughout the space.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design relies on deep mulberry purple, rich ochre, and warm amber gold against a clean white backdrop. Around the room, we would suggest working with warm off-white or soft linen neutrals on adjacent walls to echo the open background. For deeper contrast, rich plum, aubergine, or warm golden tan accents in cushions, throws, or painted woodwork will draw out the vivid watercolor pigments of the mural wallpapers.
