Wallpaper - Lausanne Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by artist Michael Tompsett, our Lausanne Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Lausanne through an expressive watercolor silhouette. The architectural skyline spans the lower portion of the wall against an open, clean white background, blending deep purple and dark mulberry tones with warm earthy ochre and gold splashes. Spatters and paint bleeds create an artistic texture that softens the cityscape, making it an engaging focal point for modern interiors. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

We see this skyline mural working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room, home office, or creative studio space. Because the architectural silhouette and watercolor textures anchor the lower half of the design while leaving the upper section light and open, the wallpaper brings visual presence without overpowering the room. It sits naturally behind a low sofa, a credenza, or a desk where the detailed spires, towers, and historic buildings remain visible above the furniture line. On a wide, uninterrupted wall, the full horizontal panorama of the skyline can be appreciated from end to end.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we like pairing it with simple contemporary furniture and balanced finishes that allow the expressive watercolor silhouette to take centre stage.

• Choose low-profile furniture in dark painted finishes, charcoal tones, or warm woods to anchor the room beneath the skyline motif.
• Keep wall art and decorative wall fixtures off the wallpapered wall so the architectural shapes and delicate paint splatters remain clean and uncluttered.
• Introduce understated brass, bronze, or blackened metal accents in lighting or hardware to echo the earthy ochre and deeper ink tones in the artwork.

Colour combinations

The motif itself combines rich dark mulberry, deep purple, and warm ochre against a crisp white background. To create a cohesive look across the wider space, we suggest picking up the warm gold and ochre hues through muted mustard or camel textiles, such as cushions or a throw. For adjacent painted walls, clean warm white or pale off-white maintains the airy brightness of the upper wall, while a deep plum or rich charcoal accent on woodwork or trim can highlight the moody depth of the skyline.
