Wallpaper - Lawrence Kansas Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural skyline wallpaper captures the city of Lawrence, Kansas, through an expressive watercolour-style silhouette. Rendered in deep mulberry purple and warm golden ochre, the detailed city profile rises from organic paint splatters and bleeds, set against a clean white background. The dynamic contrast between sharp architectural outlines and loose painterly texture gives the design a contemporary, artistic character. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper brings a bold focal point to modern living spaces and studies.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated study. Because the motif is anchored horizontally across the centre with generous white space above, it creates a sense of openness and height in rooms with standard or lower ceilings. On a main wall behind a low sofa or a desk, the silhouette remains fully visible without being obscured by key furniture pieces. In larger rooms, placing this wall mural on a long, uninterrupted wall allows the full progression of the architectural profile and the energetic paint splatters along the base to be appreciated in one panoramic view.

Styling it

To balance the expressive, painterly nature of the skyline, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined, contemporary furniture that lets the wall carry the primary visual interest. Low-profile seating or minimal timber desks in warm mid-tone woods echo the golden hues in the print without competing with its intricate silhouette. Keeping decorative accessories relatively quiet and focused around simple ceramics or sleek brass details helps highlight the warm metallic tones in the artwork while maintaining an uncluttered interior.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a distinctive palette of dark mulberry purple, soft violet, and golden ochre over a crisp white backdrop. When decorating the surrounding space, warm off-white or soft linen tones on adjacent walls create a seamless transition that complements the upper section of the mural. For a more dramatic scheme, pulling the rich mulberry into upholstery or accent cushions grounds the room, while touches of muted mustard, warm honey, or antique bronze naturally mirror the golden watercolour textures.
