Wallpaper - Kathmandu Nepal Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, our Kathmandu Nepal Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Kathmandu through expressive watercolour-like splatters and silhouette forms. The cityscape blends historic temples, stupas, and towers with modern buildings, rendered in a palette of dark mulberry purple, ochre, and warm golden tones against a crisp white backdrop. The graphic silhouette combined with fluid, painterly textures gives the motif an artistic yet structured presence. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in a living room as a distinct feature wall. Because the architectural skyline occupies the lower and middle ground while leaving generous white space above, the design provides visual interest without feeling heavy or overwhelming the room. It sits naturally behind a low-profile sofa, a sideboard, or a media unit where the distinctive skyline silhouettes remain visible across the width of the wall.

Styling it

To complement the rich purple and warm gold tones, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively streamlined to let the artwork take centre stage. Warm wood pieces, such as teak or medium oak, harmonise naturally with the ochre and golden hues in the print. Incorporating brushed brass or antique bronze accents in lighting fixtures or table frames will pick up on the warm metallic look of the skyline. For textiles, choosing simple linen or velvet cushions in deep plum, aubergine, or warm neutrals creates a cohesive, contemporary scheme.

Colour combinations

The motif features deep mulberry purple, soft violet washes, and warm ochre golds set against a clean white ground. Around this design, we recommend pairing adjacent walls with soft off-white or light warm grey paint to maintain the brightness of the negative space. If you want a moodier, more dramatic interior, pulling the deep mulberry tone onto trim, doors, or accent furniture creates a rich, tonal dialogue with the artwork.
