Wallpaper - Florence Italy Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, this architectural design captures the iconic Florence skyline through an expressive, watercolour-like silhouette. Famous landmarks such as the Duomo, the Palazzo Vecchio, and the Ponte Vecchio emerge from a textured blend of rich mulberry purple and warm, earthy ochre tones. The lower edge softens into dynamic paint splatters and painterly washes, set against a clean white backdrop that gives the architectural profile plenty of breathing space. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper texture, it provides an artistic focal point for living spaces and home studies.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally with a clean white upper area, we find this mural wallpaper works exceptionally well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing the design behind a low-backed sofa lets the recognisable domes and towers remain entirely in view without feeling crowded. The horizontal balance also suits a study or home office, where the artwork can sit behind a desk to define the space without overwhelming the rest of the room.

Styling it

The artistic contrast between deep purple and warm gold tones lends itself well to both contemporary and eclectic interiors. We recommend keeping larger furniture pieces relatively quiet in form so the fluid watercolour texture of the wallpaper takes centre stage. Warm mid-tone woods like walnut or teak echo the earthy ochre undertones in the skyline, while clean, modern silhouettes in seating prevent the overall scheme from feeling too busy.

Colour combinations

The design itself balances deep mulberry purple, soft violet washes, and warm, earthy amber-gold against an off-white background. For surrounding painted walls, we like pairing this mural with soft warm white or pale stone to maintain the open, airy feeling of the upper composition. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping palette, picking out the deep purple or warm ochre for adjacent woodwork, accent chairs, or cushions creates an intentional, cohesive look.
