Wallpaper - Riga Latvia Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, this architectural mural wallpaper captures the Riga skyline through expressive splashes and watercolor-like textures in deep purple, dark mulberry, and warm gold tones. Set against a clean, plain white background, the distinctive silhouette features landmarks such as the Vansu Cable Bridge, historic spires, and modern towers rising above dynamic paint splatters and droplets. What we particularly appreciate is how the sharp, recognizable architectural forms contrast with the loose, fluid paint effects below. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an artistic statement for contemporary interiors.

In the room

Because the skyline motif runs horizontally across the lower and middle sections of the wall with generous open white space above, we find this design works exceptionally well on wide, uninterrupted walls. In a living room, placing this wall mural behind a low-backed sofa allows the dramatic architectural silhouette and paint splatters to remain fully visible without visual interruption. In a home office or study, positioning the design behind a desk creates a cultured, graphic backdrop for video calls while keeping the upper half of the room feeling bright and airy. The horizontal flow of the cityscape naturally draws the eye across the room, making it an engaging focal point for main feature walls.

Styling it

To let the dynamic purple and gold watercolor textures take center stage, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture that features clean, modern lines. Contemporary pieces in matte black metal or warm brass pick up the rich tones within the skyline, grounding the artwork within the space. Deep upholstery in plum, aubergine, or charcoal creates a cohesive, moody dialogue with the mulberry splatters, while minimalist white or light cream accents prevent the overall scheme from feeling too heavy.

Colour combinations

The motif itself is defined by an expressive blend of dark mulberry purple, golden ochre, and warm amber set against a crisp white backdrop. When selecting paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, off-white and soft chalky neutrals provide a clean, seamless transition that lets the mural stand out. For a bolder, color-drenched approach, deep aubergine, warm taupe, or muted golden-brown tones on nearby woodwork and accents echo the watercolor pigment and create an enveloping, sophisticated atmosphere.
