Wallpaper - Midtown Sunsets Pt. II

Midtown Sunsets Pt. II brings the sweeping architectural rhythm of the Manhattan skyline into your interior, captured through the lens of photographer Jan Becke. Bathed in the warm, low-angled light of late afternoon, iconic landmarks such as the Empire State Building rise above dense layers of midtown high-rises and historic brownstone rooftops. The composition balances deep architectural detail across the lower half with a broad canopy of soft slate and violet-toned sunset clouds above. Printed as a made-to-measure mural wallpaper, this PVC-free design features a subtle structure in the paper and is easy to hang across wide accent surfaces.

In the room

Because of its expansive panoramic format and dense vertical detail, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full horizon can unfold. In a living room, placing the design behind a low-profile sofa allows the skyline to stretch naturally across the room without taller furniture cutting off the intricate building facades. It also brings an inspiring, focused atmosphere to a home office or a dedicated home library, providing a deep sense of architectural perspective behind a desk or between built-in shelving units.

Styling it

To balance the graphic detail and dense geometry of the urban skyline, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture featuring clean, low lines and understated silhouettes. Warm wood tones, such as walnut or mid-toned oak, pick up the amber and terracotta highlights reflected across the sunlit building facades, while matte black metal accents echo the crisp shadows between city blocks. Keeping larger upholstered pieces in solid, textured neutrals helps the wallpaper remain the distinct focal point of the room without visual competition.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centers on warm golden sunlight, light brown brickwork, and rich earthy browns, contrasted against slate blues, cool greys, and muted dusky purples in the sky. For adjacent walls and trim, softer warm greys or muted stone shades create a seamless transition that flatters the sunset palette. If you prefer deeper contrast, charcoal grey or dark slate on nearby woodwork will frame the panoramic city view and accentuate the warm glow across the skyline.
