Wallpaper - Exeter England Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Exeter England Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper presents the historic Devon city through an expressive watercolour-style silhouette by artist Michael Tompsett. Set against a clean white backdrop, the architectural landmarks of Exeter, including its famous cathedral and bridges, emerge through painterly splatters, drips, and bleeds in rich dark mulberry purple and warm golden ochre tones. The composition balances crisp architectural outlines with fluid, expressive paint textures, creating a distinctive graphic focal point for modern interiors. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper relies on a strong horizontal skyline anchored by open white space above, we recommend giving it a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full panorama can stretch out naturally. It works remarkably well as an accent wall in a living room behind a low-backed sofa, or in a dedicated home study or reading room where the detailed landmark silhouettes can be appreciated up close. Placing low-profile furniture along the wall ensures the expressive paint drips along the lower edge remain visible, while the airy upper section keeps the room feeling open and bright.

Styling it

To let the dynamic artwork take centre stage, we would pair this design with clean-lined furniture and restrained accent pieces. A contemporary or eclectic interior works best, especially when balanced with quiet surrounding elements.

Warm wood furniture, such as medium-toned walnut or natural timber, harmonises beautifully with the golden ochre details in the skyline. We suggest incorporating subtle brass or antique bronze lighting fixtures to echo the warm metallic undertones of the print without competing with its purple base. Keep large upholstery in neutral off-white or soft grey tones so the wall remains the primary statement piece in the room.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper centres around deep mulberry purple, warm gold, and rich ochre, set against an off-white background.

When decorating the surrounding space, we recommend pulling out the lighter tones for adjacent walls, using warm ivory, crisp linen, or very soft greige to complement the mural's background. For furniture upholstery or decorative accents, deep plum and rich aubergine create a sophisticated tonal connection, while muted mustard and warm camel bring out the golden watercolour washes.
