Wallpaper - Thun Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, this architectural skyline wallpaper captures the historic silhouette of Thun, Switzerland, through an expressive watercolor-inspired style. Rich tones of dark mulberry purple blend with warm earthy gold and ochre against a crisp white background. Splatters and fluid paint textures give the recognisable towers, castle spires, and bridges an abstract, artistic feel while maintaining the distinct profile of the Swiss town. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because the composition places most of its visual weight along the horizontal skyline with a generous open area above, we see this mural wallpaper working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing it behind a low sofa allows the detailed architectural profile and paint drips to sit at eye level while the clean upper space keeps the room feeling open. It also works beautifully in a home office or study, where the artistic interpretation of travel and architecture creates an engaging focal point behind a desk without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

The rich interplay of deep purple and warm golden tones gives this design a refined, eclectic presence that pairs naturally with contemporary and classic furnishings. We would style it alongside warm wooden furniture, such as walnut or rich oak, which complements the golden ochre hues in the watercolor silhouette. Keeping surrounding furniture lines relatively clean and low-profile helps ensure the expressive splatters and skyline details remain the primary focus of the interior.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features deep mulberry purple, warm earthy gold, ochre, and soft lilac accents set against a pure white background. When planning surrounding walls and woodwork, a crisp off-white or light parchment creates a seamless flow with the wallpaper's upper expanse. For a bolder, moodier look, drawing out the dark mulberry or a deep plum tone on adjacent walls or painted trim grounds the entire room in rich color.
