Wallpaper - Mumbai Skyline India Bombay Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural mural wallpaper captures the iconic skyline of Mumbai in a dynamic watercolor-inspired silhouette. Set against a clean, open white background, the composition balances architectural landmarks such as the Bandra-Worli Sea Link with modern skyscrapers in rich tones of dark mulberry purple and warm ochre gold. Splashes, bleeds, and paint speckles give the cityscape an artistic, expressive rhythm that grounds the lower half of the wall while leaving the upper space airy and open. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline anchors the lower two-thirds of the design with an open white background above, we see this working particularly well across a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or home office. Placing it behind a low sofa or a streamlined work desk allows the full architectural profile to span the room without key silhouettes being obscured. The high visual contrast and bold blend of purple and gold make it an expressive focal point, especially in rooms with generous natural daylight where the subtle tonal bleeds and paint drips stand out clearly.

Styling it

To let the dramatic profile of the cityscape take center stage, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture featuring clean, low-profile silhouettes. Simple mid-century or contemporary pieces keep the sightlines open to the skyline. Darker wood tones such as walnut or stained ash resonate naturally with the deep mulberry shadows, while warm metallic accents in aged brass or brushed bronze echo the ochre and golden highlights across the buildings.

Colour combinations

The design is defined by its pairing of deep mulberry purple and warm ochre gold set against a crisp white backdrop. When decorating around this wallpaper, we suggest pulling from the warm golden accents through muted ochre or caramel textiles to soften the room. For painted adjacent walls or woodwork, a warm off-white or soft linen shade maintains the open, luminous feel of the upper background, while deeper plum or charcoal upholstery can ground the space and mirror the darker architectural silhouettes.
