Wallpaper - Split Croatia Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural city skyline wallpaper captures the historic coastal silhouette of Split, Croatia, through a striking watercolor-inspired aesthetic. Rendered in an expressive blend of deep mulberry purple, warm gold, and rich ochre against a clean white background, the composition features iconic landmarks such as Saint Domnius bell tower and Diocletian's Palace, accented with dynamic paint splatters and delicate sailboat silhouettes. Printed to your exact dimensions, our custom wall murals are completely PVC-free with a subtle physical texture in the paper.

In the room

Because the design concentrates its visual weight along the lower and middle horizontal plane with an open white sky above, we find this wallpaper works exceptionally well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room or home office. Placing the mural behind a low-profile sofa, a credenza, or a clean-lined desk ensures that the distinctive architectural silhouettes remain fully visible while keeping the upper wall feeling light and expansive. The bold splash technique makes a confident artistic statement in modern open-plan living areas where you want a single wall to anchor the space.

Styling it

To balance the expressive, painterly nature of the skyline, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture featuring clean, geometric lines and minimalist profiles. Mid-century modern or contemporary pieces in warm wood tones, such as walnut or warm teak, naturally echo the golden-ochre elements of the artwork. Incorporating subtle brass, antique gold, or matte black metallic accents in floor lamps or shelving brackets will tie into the design's rich undertones without competing with the mural's visual rhythm.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette is grounded in deep dark mulberry and royal purple, transitioning into warm ochre and golden amber hues over a crisp white base. When planning surrounding walls and interior elements, we suggest painting adjacent surfaces in clean off-white, soft ivory, or a muted plum to harmonize with the artwork. For upholstery and decorative textiles, choosing warm neutrals like camel or tan helps bring out the luminous gold tones in the watercolor wash.
