Wallpaper - Alicante Spain Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural design captures the skyline of Alicante, Spain, through expressive watercolor-inspired splatters and silhouette forms. The composition brings together landmark towers, domes, and the historic fortress against a crisp white background, rendered in rich dark mulberry purple and warm ochre gold tones. The visual contrast between the clean white sky and the painterly detail along the base gives the motif an artistic, graphic identity. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline sits anchored across the lower half of the design while the upper area remains clear white, we see this working exceptionally well as a feature wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. In a living room, placing the mural behind a low-backed sofa allows the architectural silhouettes to rise naturally into the open space above without being obscured. For a study or workspace, the horizontal movement of the skyline creates an engaging focal point across a wider, uninterrupted wall, adding an artistic dimension without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

To complement the expressive watercolor look, we suggest pairing this mural wallpaper with contemporary or eclectic furniture that balances clean lines with warm materials.

• Keep large furniture low in profile to leave the skyline silhouettes and painterly splashes visible across the middle of the wall.
• Introduce warm wood pieces, such as walnut or darker oak, to echo the ochre and golden tones within the cityscape.
• Balance the visual energy of the paint splatters with simple, unpatterned textiles and modern lighting fixtures in matte dark finishes or brushed brass.

Colour combinations

The motif centers on a rich combination of dark mulberry purple, warm gold, ochre, and deep indigo tones, set against a stark white backdrop. When styling around our wallpaper, we like pulling from the warmer gold notes for accent pieces or upholstery to highlight the lighter paint splatters. For adjacent walls and woodwork, a clean soft white or a muted neutral gray keeps the visual focus firmly on the artwork, while deeper mulberry accents can be introduced through cushions or throws for a cohesive, layered look.
