Wallpaper - New York Nights II

Our New York Nights II wallpaper brings an atmospheric, painterly interpretation of an evening skyline into the home. Created by artist Silvia Vassileva, the abstract composition depicts tall buildings rising into a dark navy sky, rendered with softened, blurred edges and painterly textures. Muted tones of blue and grey form the main architectural mass, punctuated by subtle accents of warm yellow and red that evoke illuminated windows across the city after dusk. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers a calm, moody statement for contemporary spaces.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a main living room feature wall or in a dedicated home office. Because the cityscape relies on vertical forms and soft horizontal gradients, placing it behind a low-profile sofa or desk allows the skyline to rise freely without being cut off by high furniture. In a living room, giving the wallpaper a wider uninterrupted wall lets the full atmospheric transition from dusky skyline to dark sky unfold naturally. For a study or home office, the deep navy base and quiet abstract composition create an enveloping, focused backdrop that feels contemporary without being visually distracting.

Styling it

To balance the abstract forms and dusky palette of this design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and simple silhouettes. Contemporary pieces with slim profiles keep the room feeling open, letting the vertical energy of the skyline take centre stage.

• Introduce warm wood tones such as walnut or smoked oak to echo the subtle amber and yellow notes in the motif.
• Keep surrounding upholstery in solid neutral textiles like charcoal, cool grey, or deep midnight blue to maintain a cohesive palette.
• Add understated lighting, such as warm floor lamps or slim wall sconces, that casts a soft glow across the wall and complements the evening mood of the cityscape.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in deep navy, dusky blue, and slate grey, accented with small touches of warm yellow and muted red. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and larger furnishings, we recommend working with these existing tones. A soft, cool grey on adjacent walls creates a seamless transition that lets the mural stand out gently. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space, matching the surrounding walls or skirtings to a dark slate or midnight blue creates a striking tonal effect. For accessories or soft furnishings, small accents of mustard yellow, ochre, or burnt terracotta will pick up the glowing window details and add subtle warmth to the room.
