Wallpaper - Gloucester England Skyline Purple & Gold

Rendered in Michael Tompsett's distinctive watercolour style, this skyline wallpaper captures the historic architecture of Gloucester, England, through rich splashes of deep mulberry purple and warm earthy gold. The intricate silhouette highlights iconic landmarks like Gloucester Cathedral alongside the city's historic rooftops, spires, and dockside silhouettes, set against a clean white backdrop. We particularly like how the expressive paint splatters give the architectural shapes a lively, artistic presence on the wall. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wall murals are easy to hang and make an impressive focal point in any room.

In the room

Because the skyline motif runs horizontally across the lower and middle portions of the wall, we see this working exceptionally well in a living room behind a low-profile sofa or along a main feature wall in a study or home office. The open white space above the skyline creates a light, airy feeling overhead, while the saturated purple and ochre tones anchor the bottom half of the space. In a home office or study, positioning a desk facing or adjacent to this mural wallpaper adds visual character without feeling overly busy or distracting during the working day.

Styling it

To let the expressive silhouette take centre stage, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with furniture that has clean, contemporary lines. Darker wood finishes or warm walnut bring out the deep undertones of the skyline, while soft brass or matte black accents echo the metallic warmth and crisp definition in the print. For seating and larger textiles, tailored upholstery in neutral tones keeps the focus on the artwork, while an accent cushion or throw in muted plum or golden ochre subtly carries the artwork's palette across the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper balances deep mulberry purple and rich golden ochre against a crisp white ground. When choosing surrounding wall colours, soft off-whites and pale warm greys create a seamless, harmonious transition around the room. For trim, doors, or cabinetry, deeper shades such as charcoal, rich aubergine, or warm taupe can draw out the darker architectural tones within the skyline, adding depth and contrast to the space.
