Wallpaper - Cedar Falls Iowa Skyline Blue & Bronze

Created by Michael Tompsett, this graphic skyline design captures the architectural landmarks of Cedar Falls, Iowa, through an expressive watercolor-inspired silhouette. Set against a crisp, clean white background, the city profile is rendered in a rich blend of deep navy blue, teal splatters, and warm golden bronze tones. The textured paint splatters and subtle pigment bleeds bring dynamic artistic movement to the horizontal panoramic composition. Produced custom-sized to your wall measurements, our wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle physical paper structure that provides a clean, refined finish.

In the room

We see this wall mural working particularly well in spaces where its horizontal panoramic structure can be fully appreciated across an open wall. In a living room, placing this design behind a low-profile sofa gives the skyline silhouette plenty of breathing room, allowing the contrast between the saturated watercolor base and the open white upper area to define the room. In a home office or study, positioning the skyline across a primary accent wall creates an engaging, creative focal point that feels both structured and expressive. Because the upper portion of the design remains open white, the motif helps maintain an airy feel even across wide wall spans.

Styling it

When styling a room around this artwork, we suggest balancing the energetic paint splatters with clean, contemporary interior lines. Low furniture pieces, such as a streamlined credenza or a tailored sofa in neutral tones, allow the horizontal skyline to remain the main visual focus without competing geometric distractions.

To connect with the bronze and golden undertones within the skyline, warm wood finishes like natural oak or walnut add complementary depth. Matte black or antique brass accents in lighting fixtures and furniture legs also echo the darker navy and warm metallic-inspired hues of the print, keeping the overall interior feeling cohesive and grounded.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vivid palette of deep navy blue, rich teal, and warm bronze-gold set against an off-white background. For surrounding walls, we recommend clean off-whites or soft light greys that seamlessly continue the open field at the top of the mural.

If you prefer a bolder, more enveloping space, pairing the wallpaper with deep navy or muted charcoal trim and cabinetry creates an intimate, sophisticated contrast. Alternatively, accenting adjacent textiles or decorative objects with warm ochre, camel, or rust tones draws out the luminous golden highlights layered through the central architecture.
