Wallpaper - Vevey Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural skyline wallpaper captures the Swiss town of Vevey in an expressive watercolour silhouette. Set against a clean, open white background, the landmark buildings, spires, and lakeside architecture emerge through rich washes of dark mulberry purple, ochre, and warm golden tones, finished with subtle paint splatters along the base. The horizontal panoramic composition creates a striking graphic horizon while leaving the upper section light and spacious. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

Because the artwork concentrates its detail along a horizontal band across the lower and middle area of the wall, we find it works exceptionally well on wide, uninterrupted walls in living rooms or home offices. Placing the design behind a low-profile sofa, desk, or sideboard allows the architectural silhouettes to rise naturally above your furniture without obscuring the spires and facades. In a study, the generous white space across the upper wall keeps the room feeling airy and uncluttered, while the rich purple and ochre horizon provides a clear visual anchor.

Styling it

We would style this design in a contemporary or modern interior where clean lines allow the expressive watercolour technique to stand out. Simple furniture with slender silhouettes works best, avoiding heavy, high-backed pieces that might interrupt the skyline. To balance the vibrant splashes of mulberry and gold, we suggest incorporating furniture in matte dark finishes, subtle black metal accents, or warm wood tones that pick up the earthy undertones of the ochre wash. Keeping textiles and accessories relatively calm ensures the wallpaper remains the focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on deep mulberry purple, warm ochre, and rich golden hues against a crisp white backdrop. In the surrounding room, you could pair this with walls painted in soft off-white, light neutral grey, or muted stone to echo the clean upper background. If you prefer deeper accents in your upholstery or cabinetry, rich plum, aubergine, or deep bronze tones will highlight the darker watercolour pigment within the skyline.
