Wallpaper - Victoria Canada Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, this wallpaper mural brings together the architectural skyline of Victoria, Canada, in an expressive watercolor-inspired style. The design anchors the silhouette of the city against a clean, open white background, blending deep mulberry purple with warm ochre and gold tones. Dripping watercolor effects and delicate paint splatters bleed downward from the horizon, giving the architectural forms an artistic, abstract rhythm. As with all our wall murals, it is produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because the composition places the skyline along the lower to mid-section of the wall with generous white space above, we see this working especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room or a dedicated study. The horizontal flow of the buildings creates natural visual grounding behind lower furniture, such as a sofa or a long low sideboard, allowing the detailed silhouette and expressive paint drips to remain clearly visible without feeling overcrowded.

Styling it

To balance the expressive artwork, we would pair this design with clean-lined, contemporary furniture in warmer wood tones or muted neutral finishes. Keeping surrounding decorative elements relatively quiet allows the rich purple and ochre details of the mural wallpapers to take center stage. Low-profile seating and uncluttered wall perimeters complement the open space in the upper portion of the print, maintaining an airy, balanced feel across the room.

Colour combinations

The design is built around rich mulberry purple, deep plum, and earthy ochre-gold tones set against crisp white. When choosing paint for adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites or soft creams create a seamless transition with the background. For a more enveloping palette, picking up the deeper plum or muted gold in upholstery, cushions, or accent surfaces adds depth while echoing the colors of the motif.
