Wallpaper - Tallinn Estonia Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this skyline design captures the distinctive architectural profile of Tallinn in an expressive watercolour silhouette. The composition contrasts modern towers and the Tallinn TV Tower against the historic spires, domes, and roofs of the Old Town, set against an open white background. Rendered in deep mulberry purple, warm ochre, and golden tones with painterly splatters and bleeds, the motif brings a bold, artistic energy to an interior. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The horizontal rhythm of the city silhouette makes this design particularly effective across a wide, uninterrupted wall where the architectural landmarks have room to stretch out. In a living room, we like positioning the skyline on a main feature wall behind a low sofa or credenza so the spires and towers remain fully visible above the furniture line.

It also works remarkably well in a home office, where the balance between crisp architectural lines and fluid watercolour textures creates an inspiring focal point without overwhelming the room. Because the upper half of the wall remains light and airy, the design anchors the lower portion of the space while maintaining an open, uncluttered feeling.

Styling it

The expressive contrast of rich purple and warm gold gives you plenty of scope for interior styling:

• We suggest choosing low-profile contemporary furniture with clean lines so the architectural silhouettes remain the clear focus of the wall.
• Warm timber elements or subtle brass hardware pair naturally with the golden and ochre washes in the skyline, echoing the warmth of the print.
• To maintain visual balance, keep larger upholstery in understated neutral tones, allowing the vibrant splash of the skyline to carry the room's colour.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a palette of deep mulberry purple, violet undertones, warm ochre, and gold against a clean white ground. When decorating around the wallpaper, pairing it with warm off-white or soft linen tones on adjacent walls keeps the room light while letting the saturated motif stand out. If you want a moodier, more enveloping space, drawing out the deep purple or dark plum for painted trim, shelving, or accent textiles creates a striking, cohesive dialogue with the artwork.
