Wallpaper - London Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this watercolor-look skyline wallpaper captures London's iconic architectural silhouette in expressive tones of dark mulberry purple and golden ochre. Recognizable landmarks, including the London Eye, Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral, and the Shard, rise above an artistic wash with loose paint splatters and painterly textures, set against a clean white backdrop. We produce this design as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals that bring a distinctive, graphic energy to an accent wall.

In the room

Because the London skyline motif stretches horizontally across the lower and middle composition, we find this mural wallpaper works best on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, positioning the skyline behind a low-backed sofa lets the full architectural profile and delicate spires remain visible. It also feels right at home in a dedicated study or home office, where the balance between crisp white negative space and artistic architectural silhouettes creates an engaging, focused backdrop for a work desk.

Styling it

The striking contrast between deep purple, warm gold, and the white sky allows for a clean, contemporary interior approach. We recommend styling around this wallpaper with furniture that has simple, clean lines so the intricate skyline remains the central visual statement. Darker wood tones or black metal accents echo the deeper mulberry shadows in the buildings, while warm brass lighting fixtures or accents can subtly highlight the golden washes across the city base.

Colour combinations

The palette within the design combines deep mulberry purple, warm ochre gold, and soft sepia undertones against a pure white base. To complement these shades, consider surrounding painted walls in crisp warm whites or soft, neutral off-whites that let the skyline pop without distraction. For a moodier, more tailored feel in a study, picking out the deep plum or dark mulberry from the skyline for adjacent walls or shelving creates an enveloping, cohesive atmosphere.
