Wallpaper - Midnight in Midtown

Our Midnight in Midtown wallpaper brings the iconic Manhattan skyline to life with rich, painterly brushwork by artist Avery Tillmon. Dominated by the soaring silhouette of the Empire State Building alongside classic Art Deco towers, the design captures an evocative urban night bathed in contrasting tones of deep navy blue, cool slate, and glowing golden ochre. The expressive, oil-painted texture gives the architecture a timeless atmosphere rather than a sharp photographic feel. Like all our wall murals, it is produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We love how this architectural mural anchors a space with its dramatic verticality and deep, atmospheric sky. In a living room, it works naturally behind a sofa or across a main feature wall where the height of the skyscrapers can be fully appreciated. Because the upper third of the artwork consists of a dark, moody navy night sky, the design introduces strong character without visually overcrowding the entire room. It also brings a sophisticated, focused mood to a home office or study, serving as an engaging visual backdrop that adds depth and perspective to the work environment.

Styling it

The rich oil-paint character and mid-century architectural feel pair wonderfully with transitional and contemporary interior schemes. We suggest letting the wallpaper be the clear focal point of the room, keeping larger furniture grounded in clean, understated lines.

Darker wood tones such as walnut or smoked oak complement the moody nighttime palette, while accents in warm brass or antiqued bronze echo the golden illumination on the skyscraper facades. Deep blue, charcoal, or warm grey upholstery will sit naturally against the lower buildings, tying the room together without competing with the architectural details.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper revolves around deep navy, midnight blue, slate grey, and pale blue-grey, accented by warm golden yellows and touches of terracotta brown. For adjacent walls and painted millwork, we suggest drawing out the softer architectural tones with chalky off-whites, cool stony greys, or muted slate blues. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping interior, a deep navy or dark charcoal on surrounding walls creates a seamless, moody transition that highlights the glowing city lights in the artwork.
