Wallpaper - Pittsburg Pennsylvania Skyline Concrete

Designed by Michael Tompsett, our Pittsburg Pennsylvania Skyline Concrete wallpaper combines a bold architectural silhouette with the textured visual character of aged plaster and concrete. The skyline anchors the centre of the composition in deep charcoal tones, dissolving below into expressive paint drips and ink-like splatters against a warm, neutral grey background. What we particularly appreciate about this design is the balance between sharp urban geometry and free-flowing artistic texture. Produced to order as made-to-measure mural wallpapers, each order is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that brings depth to your interior.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a modern living room or a dedicated home office where the skyline can serve as a strong visual anchor. Because the main silhouette sits across the horizontal centre of the composition, it naturally suits a wider, uninterrupted wall area behind a low-profile sofa or a study desk. Giving the mural generous wall space allows the bridges and iconic skyscraper profiles to stretch out without feeling crowded. The upper section provides an open, quiet breathing space, while the paint drips along the lower half add movement that feels grounded rather than chaotic.

Styling it

To complement the industrial character and graphic lines of this design, we would pair it with clean-lined contemporary furniture. A minimalist low sideboard or a dark-stained timber desk works well positioned beneath the silhouette, allowing the architectural profile to remain fully visible. Accents in matte black metal or brushed steel echo the urban aesthetic of the bridges and high-rises. For upholstery and textiles, choosing tactile weaves in charcoal, off-white, or heather grey keeps the focus firmly on the artwork while creating a comfortable, cohesive space.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built around a monochrome palette of deep charcoal, slate black, and smoke grey set against a textured, light stone-grey backdrop. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, we suggest soft off-whites, pale concrete greys, or muted ash tones to let the mural stand out naturally. If you want to introduce contrast into the surrounding room, deeper charcoal trim or a single accent piece in warm rust or ochre can add depth without competing with the neutral foundation of the design.
