Wallpaper - Riga Latvia Skyline Concrete

Created by artist Michael Tompsett, this striking skyline wallpaper presents the architectural silhouette of Riga, Latvia, set against a warm, weathered concrete-effect background. The landmark buildings, spires, and cable-stayed bridge are captured in bold black ink styling with expressive paint drips and ink splatters anchoring the lower horizon. The contrast between graphic architectural lines and the subtle, textured stone-grey backdrop gives the design an urban, artistic character. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper brings a refined metropolitan presence to contemporary interior schemes.

In the room

In a living room, this skyline mural works exceptionally well on an open feature wall behind a low sofa or credenza, where the horizontal span of the cityscape can stretch out across the space. Because the artwork anchors its visual weight in the lower half of the wall, it keeps the upper room feeling light and expansive. We also see this working naturally in a home office or study, positioned behind a desk to provide a focused, graphic backdrop that does not overwhelm the rest of the room.

Styling it

The urban character of this design pairs naturally with minimalist and industrial-inspired interiors. We would keep the surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated, allowing the architectural silhouette to remain the central focus. Matte black metal elements or dark steel frames echo the deep ink silhouette, while natural warm timber, such as muted ash or smoked oak, balances the cool stone undertones of the concrete texture.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper centres on deep ink black, smoke grey, and warm concrete neutrals. To complement this restrained foundation, adjacent walls work beautifully in chalky off-white, light warm grey, or muted taupe. If you want to introduce deeper tones into the room through textiles or accent pieces, charcoal, slate, or a dark olive green bring subtle depth without competing with the monochromatic balance of the mural.
