Wallpaper - St Gallen Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this skyline wallpaper captures the architectural profile of St Gallen with an expressive watercolour aesthetic. Rich tones of dark mulberry purple blend into warm golden ochre across the detailed silhouette of spires, towers, and historic rooftops. The design balances sharp architectural outlines against organic paint splatters and translucent washes along the lower edge, set against a crisp white backdrop. Made to measure for your specific wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the printed artwork.

In the room

Because the skyline forms a continuous horizontal panorama across the lower half of the design, we especially like this mural wallpaper on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room, study, or home office. The open white space in the upper portion keeps the room feeling airy, while the concentrated pigment along the base anchors the space naturally behind a desk, low shelving, or a sofa. In a dedicated study, the artistic city silhouette provides an engaging focal point that does not overwhelm the surrounding decor.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with clean-lined contemporary furniture or mid-century pieces that echo the graphic balance of the skyline. Simple dark metal accents, such as a matte black floor lamp or understated iron hardware, pick up on the deep shadowy tones within the architecture without distracting from the artwork. To balance the expressive watercolour textures, keep nearby textiles relatively calm in solid, unpatterned weaves.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its pairing of deep mulberry purple and warm, burnished gold against an off-white field. When decorating around it, you can draw out the warmth in the skyline using muted ochre, mustard, or warm cream on neighbouring walls and upholstery. Alternatively, pairing the mural with soft charcoal or deep plum accents creates a richer, more tonal aesthetic that highlights the darker shadows in the buildings.
