Wallpaper - Jin Mao Tower

Our Jin Mao Tower wallpaper captures Shanghai's skyline as the sun sets over the Huangpu River. Photographed by Jan Becke, the composition highlights the iconic tiered spire of the Jin Mao Tower rising alongside clusters of modern skyscrapers, with the distinctive spheres of the Oriental Pearl Tower visible in the distance. Warm golden light fills the upper sky, balancing the smoke gray and neutral tones across the architectural facades and the green parks below. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free wallpaper paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this architectural photograph has such strong vertical scale and expansive panoramic depth, we see it working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room. Placing the mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa or along a primary feature wall gives the skyline room to breathe and allows the layered buildings to create a sense of open perspective across the space. The balance between cool smoke gray architecture and the warm golden sunset glow also responds beautifully to shifting daylight, revealing finer structural details in natural morning light and taking on an enveloping warmth under lower evening lamps.

Styling it

To let the dramatic perspective of the cityscape remain the primary focus, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and contemporary. Low-slung seating and architectural silhouettes echo the horizontal and vertical lines of the skyline without competing with the photographic detail.

Darker metal elements, such as matte black or deep bronze frames and lighting, pair naturally with the structural lines in the buildings, while warm, unadorned textiles in charcoal or muted stone help anchor the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on smoke gray, cool architectural neutrals, and soft touches of green in the foreground, contrasted by the warm golden and amber glow across the sunset sky.

When choosing surrounding finishes, deep slate or charcoal painted accents pick up the deeper shadows in the skyline. For adjacent walls, warm stone, off-white, or soft warm gray allow the golden tones of the sunset to stand out without feeling overly high in contrast.
