Wallpaper - Midtown Streets

Our Midtown Streets wallpaper brings the architectural density and perspective of New York City directly into your interior. Captured by Jan Becke, the expansive photographic panorama looks down a central avenue toward the towering Midtown skyline, featuring prominent architectural landmarks set beneath a clear blue sky. The composition contrasts rich, earthy brown and caramel brickwork across the mid-ground buildings with the cool glass and steel towers on the horizon. Produced as made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings scale and visual depth to an accent wall.

In the room

We see this photographic mural wallpaper working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, home office, or dedicated study. Because the perspective recedes along a central avenue toward the horizon, positioning the wallpaper where the full width of the cityscape remains visible allows the depth and scale of the skyline to be fully appreciated. In a study or home office, placing it along the main wall behind a desk creates an expansive backdrop without overwhelming the working area. In a living room, it anchors the space naturally when positioned behind a sofa or low-profile media unit where the architectural details remain unobstructed.

Styling it

To balance the detailed complexity of the urban photography, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture shapes clean and contemporary. Furniture in darker wood, blackened metal, or matte finishes grounds the room while letting the intricate architecture of the wallpaper take center stage. Choosing low-backed seating or streamlined shelving prevents key parts of the lower brownstone buildings and central street canyon from being obscured. Natural leather upholstery or plain textured woven fabrics also complement the architectural feel of the scene without introducing competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by warm caramel, terracotta, and earthy brown tones across the mid-rise buildings, balanced by the cool slate blues and crisp sky along the upper horizon. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and architectural trim, warm stone tones, soft greiges, and muted off-whites naturally pull out the pale stonework and daylight in the sky. For a more grounded interior scheme, deeper charcoal, espresso brown, or slate accents on window trims and larger furniture will echo the darker building facades and shadows throughout the city streetscape.
