Wallpaper - New York Skyline II

Our New York Skyline II wallpaper brings an architectural panorama to the wall through expressive graphite-style sketching and warm ochre accents. Designed by Avery Tillmon, the composition layers charcoal grey, soft graphite tones, and pale neutral textures to create a detailed cityscape anchored by an ochre suspension bridge spanning the foreground. Subtle typography including words like "New York City" and "Liberty" is ghosted into the light backdrop, giving the design an artistic, layered feel. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring urban character into residential interiors with ease.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in a living room or a dedicated home office where the wide horizontal cityscape has space to unfold across an uninterrupted feature wall. Placing the design behind a low sofa or along the main wall behind a desk allows the detailed skyscraper silhouettes and the prominent bridge structure to remain clearly visible without being obscured by high furniture.

Because the palette is predominantly tonal grey with a light, textured background, the design introduces strong visual interest without overwhelming the room. In a home study, the architectural lines create a structured, thoughtful atmosphere, while in a living room, the panoramic format adds depth and a sense of openness across the wider wall surface.

Styling it

To balance the graphic detail of the sketchwork, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean in profile. Contemporary pieces with simple lines allow the architectural artwork to take center stage. Warm wood elements such as mid-tone oak or walnut echo the golden-ochre bridge structure and bring warmth to the cooler grey sketch tones.

For decorative accents, matte black metal hardware or lighting fixtures naturally pick up on the deep charcoal shading in the buildings. Pairing the mural with textured, unpatterned soft furnishings keeps the room calm and prevents competing visual patterns from clashing with the city skyline.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around neutral charcoal greys, soft graphite pencil shades, a warm golden-ochre bridge, and an off-white, textured background.

Around the wallpaper, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft off-whites, warm pale greys, or muted stone tones that blend smoothly with the mural's light background. If you want to create a bolder, more grounded aesthetic, a deep charcoal accent paint on trim, doors, or adjacent joinery will tie directly into the darkest skyscraper silhouettes.
