Wallpaper - Brussels Belgium Skyline Purple & Gold

In this wallpaper design, Michael Tompsett captures the iconic architectural silhouette of Brussels with an expressive, painterly skyline. The composition balances recognisable urban landmarks across a clean white background, anchored by a rich horizontal wash of dark mulberry purple and warm, earthy golden tones with spontaneous splatters and watercolor-like textures. Because the lower half carries the visual weight while the upper half remains open and airy, the mural maintains a dramatic presence without overwhelming a room. Like all our wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, study, or home office. The horizontal layout of the skyline naturally complements a wide, uninterrupted wall, such as behind a sofa or a low-profile desk, where the full sweep of the cityscape can stretch out across the space. Because the upper portion of the design is largely open white space, the room retains a sense of height and vertical breathing room, while the deeper purple and gold tones along the lower edge create a grounded foundation.

Styling it

To let the dynamic character of the skyline stand out, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively understated. Pieces with clean lines and contemporary silhouettes allow the artistic watercolor textures to take center stage. For materials, warm wood tones echo the golden ochre elements in the artwork, while subtle brass or dark metal accents can pick up on the contrast between the lighter highlights and deep mulberry shadows. Keeping textiles neutral and simply textured helps balance the visual energy of the paint splatters and detailed architectural forms.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its interplay between dark mulberry purple, earthy golden ochre, and a crisp white backdrop. When painting surrounding walls or choosing room accents, soft off-whites and pale stone shades help extend the brightness of the upper wall. If you want to lean into the moodier, richer side of the design, deep plum, muted violet, or warm mustard accents on cushions, upholstery, or painted woodwork will pull out the rich pigment in the lower skyline.
