Wallpaper - Thun Switzerland Skyline Concrete

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural design captures the historic silhouette of Thun, Switzerland, in a bold paint-splatter style set against a textured concrete-look background. The lower edge of the skyline dissolves into dynamic droplets and drips, giving the classic spires, bridges, and castle towers an expressive, modern character. Neutral pebble and warm gray tones soften the graphic contrast of the black silhouette, making it an approachable statement piece. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally along the lower half of the composition, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated study. Giving the motif an uninterrupted wall allows the full panorama of Thun's historic landmarks to stretch out naturally across the space. In a living room, placing a low-profile sofa along the lower edge anchors the composition without cutting off the distinctive spires. In a home office or study, positioning a desk against the wall leaves the open, concrete-textured upper section visible, keeping the room feeling expansive and uncluttered.

Styling it

To complement the raw, wabi-sabi feel of the background and the sharp silhouette, we suggest pairing this design with clean-lined contemporary furniture. Pieces with simple profiles keep the focus squarely on the graphic architectural line work.

Matte black metal accents in lighting or shelving echo the ink-like silhouette, while light or warm-toned woods help balance the cooler stone and gray tones of the backdrop. Natural, understated textiles with visible weave will complement the visual concrete texture without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centers on deep black line work against a palette of neutral pebble, cement tones, and soft gray. When selecting paint for adjacent walls or woodwork, muted neutrals such as warm off-white, light greige, or soft stone gray allow the mural to remain the focal point. For a bolder, moodier look in a study or reading nook, deep charcoal or graphite on adjoining surfaces can frame the skyline and emphasize its dramatic contrast.
