Wallpaper - Downtown from the 110

Captured by photographer Tono Balaguer, our Downtown from the 110 wallpaper brings the vibrant pulse of an evening skyline into your interior. The photograph centers on illuminated skyscrapers rising against a dramatic dusk sky filled with intense orange, coral, and deep blue clouds. Below, long-exposure light trails from highway traffic sweep across the foreground in bold streaks of crimson and warm amber, creating a strong sense of perspective and forward movement. Produced as custom made wall murals, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because the composition has such strong directional movement and vertical height, we see this working best on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall where the full expanse of the skyline can unfold. In a contemporary living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa gives the room an atmospheric architectural backdrop without cluttering the view. It is also an engaging focal point for a home office, where the deep dusk tones and glowing city lights add depth and character to the wall behind a desk. We recommend keeping the surrounding walls relatively quiet so the visual intensity of the cityscape remains the clear hero of the space.

Styling it

The bold contrast between the cool twilight blues and glowing warm lights provides a rich foundation for contemporary interiors. We like pairing this wallpaper with furniture featuring clean, geometric lines that echo the architecture of the towers. Low-slung seating and minimalist shelving in dark charcoal, matte black metal, or deep espresso wood complement the urban atmosphere without competing for attention. To balance the vibrant energy of the light trails, incorporate softer, tactile textiles such as flat-weave wool rugs or textured neutral upholstery that bring grounded comfort to the room.

Colour combinations

The design is defined by a vivid palette of fiery orange, glowing amber, deep coral, and rich twilight blues, balanced by the dark silhouette of the urban architecture. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and trim, we recommend drawing out the deeper undertones of the mural. Deep slate grey, muted navy, or charcoal create an enveloping, cohesive aesthetic. If you prefer a lighter, more open feel, opt for warm off-white or soft stone tones that provide clean contrast and let the vibrant sky and glowing highway trails take center stage.
