Wallpaper - NYC After Dawn Crop

Created in collaboration with artist Julia Purinton, our NYC After Dawn Crop wallpaper captures an expressive New York cityscape in warm, painterly brushstrokes. The composition brings together sweeping suspension bridge architecture, classic brownstone silhouettes, and the iconic Chrysler Building rising into a soft, hazy sky. Rendered in an earthy palette of sienna brown, warm amber, ochre, and deep architectural shadows, the mural wallpaper carries a quiet, nostalgic atmosphere. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, it brings an artistic urban perspective to interior walls.

In the room

Because of the horizontal span of the bridge and the skyline composition, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing it along the main wall behind a sofa allows the architectural perspective and sweeping bridge cables to remain visible across the full width of the space. It also works beautifully in a dedicated home office, where the calm, painterly city view adds character and depth behind a desk without feeling visually overwhelming.

Styling it

The warm sienna and earthy brown tones in the artwork pair naturally with mid-century modern or contemporary organic furnishings. We would lean into warm-toned timbers such as walnut or teak for shelving, sideboards, or desks, which resonate with the architectural tones in the skyline. To balance the painterly textures of the wall murals, keep surrounding seating and upholstery simple in smooth woven fabrics, leather, or boucle in neutral cream or caramel tones. Matte black metal accents on table bases or reading lamps echo the dark structural linework of the bridge without distracting from the mural itself.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by rich sienna brown, terracotta, golden ochre, and muted beige, accented with deep charcoal and umber in the shadows. For surrounding walls and woodwork, we suggest warm off-whites, biscuit tones, or soft sand to keep the room bright while maintaining tonal harmony with the sky. If you want a moodier, more enveloping space, a deep roasted tobacco brown or dark charcoal on adjacent woodwork can pull out the rich depth found in the lower bridge arches and architectural outlines.
