Wallpaper - Austin Texas Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this Austin skyline wallpaper captures the city's architectural profile through a rich blend of watercolor-like splatter and expressive paint textures. Deep mulberry purple and warm gold tones define the skyline against a clean white background, highlighting recognizable landmarks such as the Texas State Capitol and prominent downtown high-rises. What we particularly like is how the crisp upper silhouettes contrast with the energetic paint drips and splatters along the base, giving the cityscape an artistic and dynamic presence. Produced to your exact wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle surface texture that brings fine graphic details to life.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally across the lower and middle sections with an open white sky above, this design works especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or home office. Placing the mural behind a low sofa, credenza, or desk allows the detailed architectural contours and splatters to remain fully visible without feeling crowded. The contrast between the bold silhouette and the light background makes it a striking feature wall that anchors the space while preserving a sense of vertical height.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with contemporary furniture that features clean, architectural lines to echo the city skyline. Warm metallic accents, such as brushed brass hardware or lighting, pick up the golden hues in the motif, while deeper upholstery tones in dark purple or charcoal anchor the room. Keeping surrounding surfaces and larger textiles relatively simple allows the expressive paint splatters and bold colors of the mural wallpaper to serve as the main visual focal point.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a palette of deep mulberry purple and warm, luminous gold set against a crisp white background. When decorating around it, pulling out warm ochre or mustard accents in cushions and throws creates an inviting connection to the gold tones. On adjacent walls, crisp off-whites or soft warm greys maintain an open feel, while a deeper eggplant or plum on trims or a statement piece of furniture can add dramatic depth.
