Wallpaper - Sharjah Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this design brings together the recognizable silhouette of Sharjah with an expressive, painterly skyline treatment. Deep purple, dark mulberry, and warm golden ochre splash across the architecture, contrasting sharply against a clean white backdrop. Landmarks such as the Eye of the Emirates ferris wheel, grand mosques, and modern towers blend with watercolor-inspired splatters and mottled textures. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an artistic architectural statement across any wall.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally along the lower and middle composition, we like this design best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted accent wall in a living room or home office. Placing the mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa or along a main desk wall lets the architectural details and paint splatters remain clearly visible without being cut off by tall storage units. In rooms with generous daylight, the tonal contrast between the rich purple washes and the golden accents stands out vividly against the white ground.

Styling it

The expressive watercolor aesthetic works naturally in contemporary and eclectic interiors. To keep the focus on the skyline artwork, we suggest balancing the wall with furniture that has clean, geometric lines. Low-profile seating in neutral fabrics or a streamlined wood desk keeps the lower sightline open so the intricate silhouette can be appreciated in full.

Colour combinations

The palette centers on deep mulberry purple and warm golden ochre set against crisp white. When choosing surrounding paints or furnishings, consider pulling out the warm gold tones through honey-toned timber, camel upholstery, or warm ochre accents. For a bolder, moodier room scheme, deep plum or dark aubergine on adjacent walls can echo the rich pigments in the skyline, while off-white or soft cream provides a lighter, more open contrast.
