Wallpaper - Moscow Russia Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by artist Michael Tompsett, our Moscow Russia Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the distinct architectural silhouette of Moscow through an expressive, watercolour-like technique. Splatters, pigment bleeds, and organic paint pooling give recognizable city landmarks a fluid, artistic energy set against a clean white background. Deep mulberry purples blend into warm, glowing ochre and gold tones along the lower architectural profile, creating a balanced horizontal composition with plenty of open space above. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

We find that mural wallpapers with a strong horizontal skyline work exceptionally well when given an uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing this design behind a low-profile sofa lets the full panoramic silhouette remain in clear view while the white background keeps the upper half of the room feeling light and airy. The horizontal grounding also makes it a striking choice for a home office or study, positioned behind a main desk to create a cultured, focused focal point. Because the architectural forms are contained along the lower half of the composition, the design anchors a room without overwhelming surrounding features.

Styling it

To let the dynamic paint textures and saturated tones take centre stage, we suggest styling the space with simple, contemporary furniture shapes. Low-backed seating in neutral linen or smooth upholstery allows the cityscape silhouette to flow smoothly across the wall. Deep purple and warm gold naturally complement rich, warm wood furniture such as walnut, which reflects the darker undertones in the skyline. For decorative elements, keeping surfaces uncluttered ensures the energetic watercolor splatters feel intentional and framed.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper motif combines dark mulberry purple and rich plum with warm ochre, amber, and golden-brown tones, all resting on a crisp white backdrop. To harmonise with these shades, we recommend painting adjoining walls in soft off-whites or chalky pale greys to keep the backdrop cohesive. If you prefer a richer scheme, drawing out the deeper tones through a deep plum or dark aubergine accent chair creates an inviting connection to the artwork.
