Wallpaper - Urban Overlook

Urban Overlook brings a sweeping photographic perspective into the interior, capturing a bustling city where turn-of-the-century architecture meets a modern skyline. Photographed by Jan Becke, the composition centres on a magnificent ornate building with a green-capped tower, surrounded by historic facades, contemporary structures, and a broad body of water lined by a tree-shaded promenade. In the distance, a television tower rises against a light sky blue backdrop. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

With its high vantage point and expansive horizon, this wall mural works exceptionally well on an open, uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the skyline can unfold. In a living room, placing it behind a low-profile sofa lets the architectural detail and open sky draw the eye upward, creating a strong sense of architectural depth. It is equally suited to a home office or study, where the combination of structured urban lines, waterfront scenery, and calm blue tones provides an inspiring backdrop behind a desk. Because the photograph features rich detail from the foreground promenade to the distant skyline, giving it sufficient viewing distance allows the entire cityscape to be appreciated at once.

Styling it

The balance of historical and contemporary architecture in the photograph makes it easy to incorporate into modern or classic-contemporary spaces. We would pair it with furniture that has clean, architectural lines and relatively quiet silhouettes, allowing the intricate facades and waterways in the image to take centre stage. Lighter wood finishes, soft grey upholstery, and understated glass or metal accents complement the urban theme without competing with the detailed streetscape.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper brings together sky blue, architectural greys, muted beige stone, and touches of green from the tree-lined riverbanks and copper-toned tower roof. To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend using soft stone beige, light grey, or off-white on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you want to draw out specific tones from the skyline, subtle accents in slate grey, river blue, or deep leafy green in your soft furnishings will echo the photograph naturally.
