Wallpaper - Wichita Kansas Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this skyline wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Wichita, Kansas, through an expressive, watercolor-like composition. Rich mulberry purple and warm, earthy gold bleed together across the city's silhouette, grounded by dynamic paint splatters and set against a clean white backdrop. What we particularly like about our design is how the distinctive urban landmarks emerge from fluid washes of color, giving the architectural motif an artistic, dreamy quality. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our wallpaper brings a graphic yet painterly focal point to an accent wall.

In the room

Because the skyline artwork concentrates its rich color and energetic paint splatters horizontally across the lower and middle composition, it works exceptionally well as a feature wall behind lower furniture. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa lets the entire city profile remain visible while the generous white space above keeps the room feeling open.

We also see this design working well in a home office, positioned along an uninterrupted main wall where the detailed architectural forms can be appreciated up close. The contrast between the saturated purple tones and the crisp background allows the wallpaper to make a clear visual statement without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Styling it

The rich, expressive nature of this skyline pairs naturally with modern and eclectic interior settings. To balance the vibrant mulberry and gold watercolor washes, we recommend anchoring the space with streamlined furniture shapes that feature clean lines and unadorned surfaces.

When selecting furniture and finishes, warm darker wood pieces or matte black elements help echo the deeper tones in the skyline without competing with the painterly splashes. Keeping surrounding textiles relatively quiet in texture and pattern allows our wall murals to serve as the undisputed visual centerpiece of the room.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built around a striking palette of dark mulberry purple, rich plum, and earthy, ochre-tinted gold against a crisp white ground.

To complement these tones in the surrounding decor:

• Warm whites or soft, neutral off-whites on adjacent walls create a clean continuation of the mural's background.
• Deep aubergine, plum, or charcoal accents in upholstery or decorative pieces bring out the moodier elements of the skyline.
• Muted mustard, ochre, or brushed brass decorative accents tie in seamlessly with the warm golden washes.
