Wallpaper - New Delhi India Skyline

Our New Delhi India Skyline wallpaper brings together the historic domes, minarets, and modern architectural profile of Delhi in an expressive, painterly skyline. Designed by Michael Tompsett, this piece uses a vibrant watercolour-inspired technique where rich indigo, deep blue, warm ochre, and rust bleed organically across a clean white background. Splatters and fluid pigment washes give the architectural silhouette an artistic energy, balancing crisp landmark profiles with expressive splashes along the base. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline extends horizontally across the composition, we think this design works particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room or a dedicated study, placing it behind a low-backed sofa, credenza, or desk allows the detailed contours of the minarets and monuments to remain clearly in view. The upper half of the wallpaper is light and open, which helps preserve a sense of vertical space and daylight even in rooms with standard ceiling heights. For a study or library, the architectural motif offers a sophisticated backdrop that feels both cultured and dynamic.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded so the vibrant watercolour washes on the wall can take centre stage. Clean-lined contemporary furniture or mid-century pieces in warm wood tones, such as teak or walnut, pair naturally with the golden ochre and rust accents in the skyline. Simple matte black or dark bronze details in lighting and shelving can echo the deeper navy and indigo silhouettes without cluttering the visual field. To maintain a balanced, intentional look, choose unpatterned textiles and let the expressive artwork carry the visual movement in the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vivid palette of deep indigo, ink blue, turquoise, warm ochre, and burnt orange against a crisp white ground. To create a cohesive room scheme, consider pulling the deeper navy or slate blue onto adjacent walls or painted joinery for a rich, enveloping feel. If you prefer a brighter, more airy aesthetic, soft warm off-whites that match the background will let the skyline stand out crisply. Furniture or accent cushions in muted terracotta, mustard, or deep teal offer an effortless way to tie surrounding decor directly into the artwork.
