Wallpaper - Indianapolis Indiana Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, our Indianapolis Indiana Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the architectural profile of the city through an expressive, watercolour-style silhouette. The composition balances crisp urban outlines with painterly splatters and bleeds in rich tones of gold, sienna, and deep purple set against an open white background. The vertical silhouettes of landmarks like the Salesforce Tower anchor the central skyline, while flowing paint drips bring artistic movement across the bottom edge. Made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, our mural wallpapers bring an expressive city focal point to contemporary interiors.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a dedicated feature wall in a living room or a modern home office. Because the cityscape runs horizontally across the lower and middle sections of the wall with clean negative space above, it sits comfortably behind low-profile furniture such as a sofa, credenza, or desk without feeling overcrowded. In a home study, placing the wallpaper along an open wall creates an inspiring backdrop that adds personality without overwhelming the space. The crisp contrast between the rich pigment and the clean white upper area ensures the room retains an airy, open feel even in spaces with standard ceiling heights.

Styling it

To let the artwork take centre stage, we would pair this wallpaper with streamlined contemporary furniture that features clean, modern lines. Dark metal accents or blackened steel frames echo the deeper silhouettes in the skyline, while mid-tone wood elements bring out the warm sienna and ochre pigments. In an eclectic or contemporary setting, keeping larger upholstery pieces in neutral tones prevents visual clutter, allowing the distinctive splashes of purple and gold to carry the room's character. Simple lighting, such as minimalist track lights or understated floor lamps, helps define the architectural forms without competing with the painterly details.

Colour combinations

The artwork features an eye-catching palette of warm gold, earthy sienna, deep aubergine, and soft purple splashes against a crisp white background. To build a cohesive room around this wallpaper, we suggest keeping adjacent walls in an off-white, soft ivory, or light warm grey that matches the background tone. For accent elements, pulling out the deep purple or muted plum tones through decorative cushions, throws, or ceramic pieces creates an intentional link to the design. If you prefer a warmer balance, incorporating rich ochre, mustard, or caramel tones in soft furnishings beautifully reinforces the golden hues within the cityscape.
