Wallpaper - Brussels Belgium Skyline Blue & Bronze

Created by Michael Tompsett, this Brussels skyline wallpaper interprets the Belgian capital through an expressive watercolor-inspired silhouette. The architectural skyline spans landmarks across the city, layered with painterly splatters and bleeds in rich navy blue, indigo, warm bronze, ochre, and deep reddish tones set against a crisp white background. The horizontal composition balances detailed architectural contours with freeform artistic texture, creating a striking focal point. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because the Brussels skyline extends horizontally across the composition, we see this wall mural working especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire architectural profile has space to unfold. In a living room, placing this wallpaper along the main wall behind a sofa allows the graphic silhouette to anchor the seating zone without visual clutter above eye level.

The design also makes an inspiring backdrop for a home art studio or creative study. With the upper half of the motif remaining predominantly open and white, the room retains a bright and airy atmosphere, while the lower band delivers rich visual depth. We would avoid blocking the detailed lower skyline with overly tall bookcases or high-backed furniture, opting instead for low-profile credenzas or desks that let the landmark silhouettes remain in full view.

Styling it

The expressive blend of deep blue, ochre, and bronze pairs naturally with both contemporary and mid-century modern furnishings. We would choose furniture with clean, simple profiles to let the painterly texture of the skyline carry the room's decorative energy.

Warm wood tones such as teak, walnut, or honeyed oak echo the bronze and amber shades in the print, bringing warmth to the space. For hardware and lighting, matte black or brushed brass fixtures reinforce the architectural lines without competing with the vibrant watercolor splatters. Keeping surrounding upholstery in textured neutral fabrics allows the rich color palette of the mural wallpapers to stand out as the definitive centerpiece.

Colour combinations

The motif itself is defined by a vivid interplay of deep navy, ink blue, warm bronze, golden ochre, and subtle plum accents against a clean white backdrop. When selecting paint shades for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, pulling out the crisp white background creates a seamless transition that maximizes brightness throughout the room.

Alternatively, if you want a moodier, more cohesive space, choosing a muted navy or deep slate blue for surrounding trim or built-in shelving can frame the wallpaper beautifully. Warm earthy neutrals, like sand or biscuit, also work well on nearby surfaces to highlight the glowing bronze tones.
