Wallpaper - New Orleans Louisiana Skyline Purple & Gold

Our New Orleans Louisiana Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the distinct architectural silhouette of the city through an expressive, watercolour-inspired aesthetic. Created by Michael Tompsett, this design balances graphic skyline contours with fluid splatters and painterly blooms in deep mulberry purple, soft violet, and warm earthy gold tones, all set against a clean white ground. The horizontal profile gives the motif a clear focal line while the textured paint effects soften the urban geometry. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your exact dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a living room, study, or home office where you want an expressive feature wall without overwhelming the space. Because the architectural detail runs along a horizontal band across the lower and middle section, leaving an open white area above, it gives the room a feeling of vertical breathing space.

In a living room, positioning the mural along the main wall behind a low-backed sofa allows the skyline silhouette and watercolour textures to remain fully visible. For a home office or study, placing it on a wider uninterrupted wall creates a sophisticated, artistic backdrop that adds personality without feeling visually cluttered.

Styling it

The balance of fluid paint textures and defined architecture makes this design versatile across contemporary, eclectic, and maximalist interiors. We recommend letting the wallpaper serve as the central visual statement in the room and keeping larger pieces grounded.

Low-profile furniture in dark wood tones or clean black finishes complements the deeper mulberry shades in the artwork and anchors the lower half of the wall. To echo the warm ochre and gold splashes without competing with the motif, you can bring in subtle brass decorative accents, table lamps, or warm metallic details. Upholstery in textured neutral weaves allows the vibrant colours of the mural wallpapers to stand out naturally.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around rich dark mulberry, delicate purple washes, and warm earthy gold hues, contrasting against a crisp white backdrop.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, a muted warm off-white or soft alabaster keeps the room bright and allows the artwork to take centre stage. For a moodier, more enveloping feel in a study, you could pull the deep plum or dark mulberry tone onto adjacent painted walls or joinery. If you prefer subtle warmth, pairing it with soft biscuit, muted taupe, or warm ochre accents ties back directly to the golden elements within the skyline.
