Wallpaper - Split Croatia Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural city skyline wallpaper captures the historic coastal silhouette of Split, Croatia, through expressive watercolour-inspired splashes and paint splatters. The composition balances crisp urban architectural profiles, including Diocletian's Palace and Saint Domnius bell tower, with bleeding ink washes in deep mulberry purple and warm ochre gold set against a clean white background. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, bringing an artistic, graphic focus to modern interiors.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally with a generous area of white space above, we see this working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the architectural landmarks have room to stretch across the room. In a living room, positioning the wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa lets the silhouetted towers and spires rise clearly into view. In a home office, it creates an engaging focal point behind a desk without visually cluttering the upper half of the wall. Because the lower half carries the visual weight of the pigment splatters while the upper section remains open, the design maintains a sense of height and lightness throughout the space.

Styling it

The combination of structured architectural silhouettes and fluid paint splashes makes this wallpaper easy to pair with contemporary or eclectic furniture. We suggest choosing low-profile furniture pieces that sit beneath the main horizontal skyline band to keep the city profile visible. Sleek matte black accents or warm bronze metal details pick up on the graphic clarity of the cityscape, while clean-lined upholstery keeps the overall room feeling balanced rather than busy.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by rich shades of dark mulberry purple and golden ochre over a crisp white base. To complement the motif, we recommend pairing adjacent walls with soft warm off-whites or subtle greys that allow the artwork to stand out. If you want to echo the deeper tones in the design, deep plum or muted mustard textiles work well across cushions or accent seating, while mid-toned wooden surfaces add natural warmth alongside the golden hues.
