Wallpaper - Spokane Washington Skyline Concrete

Created by Michael Tompsett, this skyline wallpaper pairs an architectural silhouette of Spokane, Washington, with a textured concrete-look backdrop. The deep charcoal profile captures notable city landmarks alongside industrial details and arches, grounding the composition while expressive ink and spray-paint splatters pool organically beneath the horizon. Set against a warm pebble grey field with subtle visual weathering, our design brings an artistic, graphic presence to any interior. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure and PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

We find this horizontal composition works particularly well across a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full panorama of the skyline has space to unfold. In a living room, placing the design behind a low-backed sofa allows the crisp architectural silhouettes and the spacious upper field to remain clearly visible without feeling crowded. The balanced scale and urban character also make it a natural fit for a study or home office, creating a focused, contemplative feature behind a desk. Because the main graphic weight sits in the lower third of the design, the motif anchors the room while leaving the upper wall feeling open and calm.

Styling it

The graphic contrast and architectural line work connect naturally with contemporary or industrial-leaning interiors. We would balance the dark silhouettes with clean-lined furniture in matte black metal or darker wood finishes, which echo the precision of the skyline without competing with the illustration.

To soften the urban mood, we like bringing in heavier woven textiles or tactile upholstery in charcoal, graphite, or neutral heather tones. Keeping surrounding artwork minimal ensures that the mural wallpapers remain the central statement of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper is built around deep charcoal and soft black contrasted against pebble grey and off-white concrete tones.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or major furniture, we recommend working with these directions:

• Tonal pebble greys or warm stone shades on adjacent walls to extend the quiet background tone seamlessly around the space.
• Deep charcoal or off-black accents on woodwork, window trims, or shelving to pick up on the silhouette’s sharpest graphic details.
• Crisp off-white or soft chalky neutrals to lift the room and maintain a bright, balanced contrast.
