Wallpaper - Münich Illustration

Our Münich Illustration wallpaper, created by Jocelyn Kao, captures the lively spirit of an urban skyline through an expressive, hand-drawn look. A dense cluster of buildings with warm red and burnt orange roofs sits beneath towering green domes and detailed clock towers, framed against a soft sky of pale yellow and lilac swirls. We love how the playful architectural shapes and warm, earthy palette give this mural wallpaper an energetic yet charming personality. Produced made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers bring distinct character and artistic storytelling straight into the home.

In the room

In a living room, we see this cityscape working exceptionally well on a main feature wall behind a sofa or low sideboard, where the detailed towers have space to rise toward the ceiling. Because the lower half of the illustration features closely clustered rooftops, placing it on a wider wall allows the full breadth of the skyline to unfold naturally. We also like this design for a home study or library. The illustrative buildings and clock details create an engaging backdrop behind a desk or between low bookshelves, adding visual warmth without overwhelming a working space.

Styling it

To let the rich terracotta and orange tones lead the space, we suggest pairing this design with mid-tone or warm wood furniture. Pieces with clean lines, such as a teak desk or a simple walnut credenza, ground the whimsical character of the illustration while balancing its busy architectural silhouettes.

Because the skyline has a dense graphic pattern, we recommend keeping surrounding upholstery and curtains relatively quiet. Solid textiles in oatmeal, natural off-white, or muted olive green complement the green rooftop domes without competing with the illustrated cityscape.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on warm burnt orange, deep terracotta, and cheerful red, accented by copper-green domes and pale lilac and soft yellow in the sky. For adjacent walls and surrounding trim, we recommend soft cream, pale warm parchment, or a gentle biscuit tone to mirror the lighter parts of the sky. If you prefer deeper contrast, a rich olive or warm moss green drawn directly from the cupolas works beautifully on painted woodwork, built-in shelving, or decorative accents.
