Wallpaper - Varaždin Croatia Skyline Concrete

Created by Michael Tompsett, this city skyline wallpaper features the architectural silhouette of Varaždin, Croatia, set across a textured, warm neutral backdrop with ink-splatter detailing along the base. The contrast between the charcoal grey silhouette and the weathered, concrete-look background gives our mural wallpaper a graphic, artistic presence on the wall. Produced to your dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. Because the skyline spans horizontally across the centre of the composition with generous open space above and below, it benefits from a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full profile of spires and rooftops can be appreciated. In a living room, placing this design behind a low-profile sofa lets the architecture sit naturally above the seating line without crowding the view. In a study or home office, it creates an engaging visual anchor behind a desk while maintaining a calm, uncluttered atmosphere thanks to the neutral background.

Styling it

To complement the graphic ink motif and textured background, we suggest keeping surrounding furnishings understated and intentional.

• Choose furniture with clean, contemporary silhouettes to echo the crisp architectural outlines of the skyline.
• Introduce warm wood finishes, such as natural oak or ash, to bring organic warmth alongside the cooler charcoal tones.
• Incorporate simple matte black or dark metal accents in lighting or shelving to connect with the deep silhouette of the city.

Colour combinations

The palette in this design is anchored by deep charcoal grey against a base of warm, stony grey and off-white neutrals. When decorating the rest of the space, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with soft off-whites, pale chalky greys, or muted stone shades on adjoining walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce accent colours through textiles or accessories, deep olive greens, warm rust, or muted ochre work beautifully alongside the neutral background without distracting from the central artwork.
