Wallpaper - Riyadh Saudi Arabia Skyline Blue & Bronze

Created by Michael Tompsett, this skyline wallpaper brings the architectural silhouette of Riyadh into the room with expressive watercolour-like splatters and rich, textured tones. The design contrasts deep navy and indigo hues with radiant bronze, amber, and golden ochre, set cleanly against an open white background. The distinctive profile of the city's landmarks anchors the composition across the lower half, leaving generous breathing space above. Our custom-printed wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and are entirely PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper that gives the finished installation a refined appearance.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a living room, home office, or dedicated study where an architectural motif can set an engaging, thoughtful tone. Because the artwork places the detailed skyline silhouette and dripping colour along the bottom while keeping the upper portion clear and open, it naturally suits walls behind low-profile furniture.

In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa allows the striking towers and vibrant pigment bursts to sit right at eye level without feeling crowded by the ceiling. For a home office or study, positioning the design along a main focal wall creates an inspiring backdrop behind a desk. The generous white space at the top also helps preserve an airy, uncluttered feel, making it well suited to compact rooms as well as larger open spaces.

Styling it

When styling around this piece, we suggest letting the bold graphic profile and energetic paint splatters take centre stage. Clean-lined contemporary furniture works particularly well here, creating a crisp contrast against the fluid, organic watercolour texture of the print.

To balance the strong horizontal band of deep blues and warm metallic tones, pair the wall murals with furniture in warm, mid-tone woods or clean matte black metal accents. Low-slung shelving, minimalist desks, and upholstered seating in textured neutral fabrics will complement the artwork without competing with its intricate architectural details.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on deep indigo, midnight blue, and teal, set against warm bronze, copper, and golden ochre tones.

To build a cohesive palette across the rest of the space, consider drawing directly from these core colours. A warm off-white or soft alabaster on adjacent walls will seamlessly echo the crisp background of the mural. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping atmosphere, picking up the rich navy or deep teal for painted woodwork, doors, or an adjoining accent wall creates striking depth. For smaller accents like cushions, throws, or decorative ceramics, touches of terracotta, bronze, or muted ochre will effortlessly highlight the warmer flecks in the skyline.
