Wallpaper - Bogotá Colombia Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural design captures the skyline of Bogotá, Colombia, in an artistic silhouette set against a clean white backdrop. Rich dark mulberry purple tones merge with warm gold and ochre through expressive watercolour-like paint splatters, bleeds, and fluid washes. Recognisable landmarks, colonial spires, modern towers, and bridges form a dynamic horizon across the wall, anchored by textured pigment pooling along the base. Produced as made-to-measure wallpaper murals, each piece is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally with a generous area of open white space above, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. Placing the mural behind a sofa, a low media unit, or a desk allows the detailed architectural silhouettes to remain fully visible without being obstructed by high furniture. In a home office, the horizontal rhythm creates an engaging visual anchor behind your workspace, while the expansive white upper portion keeps the room feeling open and bright.

Styling it

The expressive mix of deep mulberry and warm gold offers clear cues for the surrounding interior. We would look towards contemporary or modern eclectic spaces where clean lines allow the artwork to stand out:

• Choose furniture with slender profiles in warm wood tones, such as teak or dark-stained oak, to echo the golden ochre elements in the skyline without competing with the silhouette.
• Bring in subtle metallic accents in warm brass or brushed gold through table lamps, picture frames, or desk accessories to pick up the glowing tones across the cityscape.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large fabrics quiet, favouring neutral textured weaves in off-white or soft oatmeal to maintain visual balance across the room.

Colour combinations

The motif is built around deep mulberry purple, rich gold, ochre, and warm amber, all grounded by the crisp white background. When planning surrounding wall colours, soft off-white or light warm grey works naturally to extend the open feel of the mural's background. For a richer, more enveloping feel on adjacent walls, woodwork, or shelving, a deep plum, aubergine, or warm golden ochre drawn directly from the skyline creates an intentional, cohesive scheme.
