Wallpaper - Turin Italy Purple & Gold

Our Turin Italy Purple & Gold wallpaper by Michael Tompsett translates the distinctive Italian city skyline into an expressive silhouette rendered with a rich watercolour-like character. Anchored by the iconic Mole Antonelliana and historic architectural outlines, the motif balances architectural definition with energetic paint splatters and textured washes. Deep mulberry purple bleeds organically into warm ochre and gold tones against a clean, crisp background. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an artistic feature with graphic impact.

In the room

Because the skyline silhouette is concentrated along the lower-to-middle horizontal plane, this design brings strong visual interest without overwhelming the upper wall area. In a living room, we would position this wallpaper on a main feature wall behind a sofa or low media unit where the horizontal skyline can stretch across the space uninterrupted. The open upper space keeps the room feeling airy, while the rich, expressive wash below anchors the seating arrangement.

In a home office or study, placing the design behind a desk creates a focused, creative backdrop. The blend of architectural geometry and spontaneous watercolour-style drips brings an artistic, worldly perspective into the workspace. The motif works especially well in rooms with standard to high ceilings where the vertical reach of the spires and towers has ample space to stand out against the white background.

Styling it

The rich contrast between deep purple and warm gold gives this design an eclectic, contemporary character. To balance the expressive watercolour texture, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with furniture that features clean, tailored lines:

• Low-profile furniture in dark wood or charcoal upholstery to ground the bottom section of the room without blocking the key architectural landmarks.
• Subtle warm metallic accents, such as brushed brass lighting or bronze picture frames, to echo the ochre and golden hues in the silhouette.
• Crisp, unpatterned textiles like simple linen drapes or a flatweave wool rug in neutral tones, allowing the mural wallpapers to remain the primary visual focal point.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a striking contrast of deep mulberry purple, soft violet washes, and warm golden ochre set against a pure white backdrop. When selecting paint colours for adjacent walls, a soft, warm off-white or light greige creates a seamless transition that complements the upper negative space of the wallpaper.

For a bolder, more enveloping interior, you could pull the deep plum or dark mulberry into surrounding woodwork, skirting boards, or accent furniture. Alternatively, introducing warm caramel and amber tones through leather upholstery or cushions ties directly into the golden watercolor bleeding throughout the skyline.
