Wallpaper - Anchorage Alaska Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this city skyline wallpaper captures the silhouette of Anchorage, Alaska, in a rich blend of deep mulberry purple and warm, earthy gold tones. The design features a watercolor-inspired aesthetic with expressive ink splatters, soft washes, and paint drips that emerge along the lower edge of the skyline. Set against a clean white background, the horizontal skyline forms a striking focal point with plenty of breathing space above. Our custom-made wallpapers are produced to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

Because the Anchorage skyline motif is concentrated across the middle and lower sections of the wall, we see this working particularly well in a living room behind a low-backed sofa or along a main wall in a home office. The open white space in the upper portion keeps the room feeling airy, while the rich watercolor tones anchor the seating or desk area below. For an accent wall, giving the full width of the skyline room to unfold allows the paint splatters and organic color transitions to display naturally across the space.

Styling it

To balance the expressive, artistic energy of the skyline, we would keep surrounding elements grounded and intentional. Modern furniture with clean, low profiles helps maintain visual balance without blocking the intricate dripping ink details along the lower horizon. Warm wood finishes, such as natural walnut or warm oak, harmonize beautifully with the golden ochre washes in the print, while simple brass or matte black accents echo the contemporary artistic style.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centers around deep mulberry purple, lavender undertones, and warm golden ochre against a crisp white backdrop. When painting surrounding walls or choosing room accents, soft off-white or light warm grey paint on adjacent walls keeps the focus entirely on the mural. For a moodier, more cohesive palette, picking up the rich mulberry or muted gold through cushions, throws, or upholstered armchairs brings the entire room scheme together.
