Wallpaper - Chicago Skyline II

Our Chicago Skyline II wallpaper captures the dynamic, twisting form of modern architecture in high-contrast monochrome photography. Shot from a striking upward perspective by Nathan Larson, the design highlights the sharp angles, fluid curves, and reflective glass panels of the skyscraper against an atmospheric, clouded sky. The tonal range moves between deep charcoal, crisp white, and nuanced shades of grey, creating an arresting graphic presence with exceptional visual depth. Produced to your exact dimensions, this PVC-free wallpaper features a subtle paper texture that complements the architectural detail, making it an impressive choice for a focused feature wall.

In the room

In a home office or study, we see this wall mural working exceptionally well behind a desk or along a main focal wall where the vertical lines can draw the eye upward. The strong upwards perspective and soaring geometry naturally introduce a sense of height, which can give structured residential work spaces a distinctive metropolitan feel. Because the architectural composition has such strong geometric definition, we recommend placing it on a relatively clear wall where the dramatic lines of the building remain unbroken by tall shelving units.

Styling it

The graphic black and white photography pairs naturally with clean-lined contemporary or industrial interior schemes. We would balance the bold vertical lines of the skyscraper with low-profile furniture in matte black metal, brushed steel, or rich dark-stained wood. To soften the crisp architectural angles without competing with the photography, we suggest incorporating textured wool upholstery or understated charcoal textiles.

Colour combinations

The palette within the mural wallpaper centres on deep charcoal greys, pure whites, and mid-tone slate hues. To build around these greyscale tones, we recommend pairing the wall mural with crisp off-white or chalky light grey on adjoining walls to keep the room open and focused. For a moodier, more tailored atmosphere, deep graphite or ink-blue paintwork on surrounding doors and skirting creates a seamless, sophisticated transition.
