Wallpaper - Houston Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this Houston skyline wallpaper captures the city's architectural profile through expressive watercolour-inspired washes and splatters. Rich dark mulberry and purple tones blend with warm golden ochre across the silhouette, set against a crisp white background. The dynamic contrast between the sharp architectural shapes and the fluid, organic paint splatters creates an artistic focal point on any wall. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure and are designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. Because the skyline anchors along the lower-to-middle portion of the composition with generous open space above, it allows a room to feel open while still providing graphic character. In a living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa lets the full silhouette remain visible above the furniture line. For a study or home office, it creates an engaging backdrop behind a desk without cluttering the visual space of the room.

Styling it

To let the artwork stand out, we would pair this design with clean-lined contemporary furniture that echoes its architectural feel. A low-profile credenza or desk in a warm, dark wood complements the deeper tones in the skyline without competing with the illustration. Matte black metal accents on lighting or shelving frames provide a sharp definition that mirrors the graphic silhouette, while unpatterned textiles keep the surrounding environment balanced.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a palette of deep mulberry purple, softer violet washes, and warm golden ochre set against clean white. To complement these shades, we suggest pulling out the warm golden undertones through mustard, amber, or honey-toned decorative accents. Surrounding walls finished in soft warm off-white or light stone greys allow the purple tones to pop naturally without overwhelming the room.
