Wallpaper - Los Angeles Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this graphic skyline design captures the recognizable silhouette of Los Angeles through a dramatic blend of watercolor splatters and textured washes. Deep dark mulberry and vibrant purple tones merge with warm golden ochre across the architectural profiles, set against an open, crisp white background. The dynamic paint drips along the base ground the urban skyline while giving it an expressive, contemporary feel. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper texture, our design brings an artistic focal point to living areas and workspaces.

In the room

We love this design on a feature wall in a spacious living room or a dedicated home office, where the full horizontal span of the skyline has space to unfold. Because the architectural forms occupy the center and lower half while leaving generous white space above, the wallpaper naturally creates an open feeling overhead. In a living room, positioning the skyline behind a low-backed sofa lets the iconic high-rises and painterly details sit comfortably above furniture height. In a home office, it provides an energetic, graphic backdrop that defines the work zone without visually overwhelming smaller wall areas.

Styling it

The expressive contrast between the crisp white backdrop and the textured, saturated skyline calls for intentional, balanced styling around the wall.

We suggest pairing this mural with contemporary furniture that features clean, modern profiles to echo the architectural lines. Warm mid-tone wood finishes or subtle brass accents bring out the rich golden tones within the watercolor washes, while keeping surrounding upholstery in tailored, neutral shades allows the expressive purples and mulberries to hold visual focus.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centers on rich dark mulberry, saturated purple, and warm golden ochre set against a bright, clean white backdrop. To build a cohesive palette around it, consider bringing out the warmer accents with muted honey, camel, or soft amber tones in decorative elements or nearby woodwork. For painted adjacent walls or millwork, crisp gallery white keeps the atmosphere bright and sharp, while a deep plum or charcoal on an adjoining accent surface creates a moodier, more enveloping interior.
