Wallpaper - Davenport Iowa Skyline Purple & Gold

Capturing the architectural silhouette of Davenport, Iowa, this design by Michael Tompsett pairs graphic cityscape details with an expressive watercolour aesthetic. Deep shades of purple, aubergine, and warm ochre gold blend along the skyline base with splatters and drips, set against a clean, crisp off-white background. The horizontal layout showcases recognisable local landmarks, bridges, and historic architecture across an open composition. Made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers bring a modern, artistic focal point into any living space or home office.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well as a panoramic feature wall in a living room, dining room, or home study. Because the motif occupies the lower and middle sections of the wall with generous open space above, it anchors the room without overwhelming the upper wall area.

On a wider uninterrupted wall, such as behind a low sofa or a streamlined desk, the complete span of the skyline has space to unfold naturally. In a hallway or entryway, the bold contrast of the architectural silhouettes creates an immediate visual impression as soon as you step inside.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with modern, understated furniture to let the skyline remain the visual centrepiece. Clean-lined pieces in darker timbers or matte black metal echo the sharp geometry of the buildings, while preventing the room from feeling cluttered.

To balance the dynamic paint-splatter texture along the bottom of the artwork, keep surrounding textiles simple and textured rather than patterned. Upholstery in warm neutral tones, charcoal, or textured weave brings depth to the room while allowing the rich purple and amber tones of the mural wallpapers to stand out.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a striking palette of deep purple, violet, warm ochre gold, and deep charcoal on a clear white ground.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and trim, warm off-white or soft linen greys provide a quiet background that connects directly with the upper area of the wallpaper. If you want to create a moodier, more cohesive look, deep aubergine or muted plum on adjacent woodwork or cabinetry will pick up the darker tones of the skyline. Alternatively, accents in warm mustard, brass, or amber echo the golden hues throughout the print.
