Wallpaper - Leeds England Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural design captures the Leeds skyline through an expressive watercolour-like composition in rich purple and earthy gold. Splatters, pigment bleeds, and textured washes form the city silhouette against a clean, open backdrop, balancing recognizable landmarks with abstract artistic flair. Our made-to-measure wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an artistic statement piece that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the skyline silhouette sits across the horizontal plane with delicate paint splatters beneath and open space above, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. In a living room, placing the mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa allows the architectural profile to remain visible without being interrupted by tall furniture. The generous white space across the upper section helps maintain an airy feel, making it an excellent choice for rooms where you want visual drama without overwhelming the entire wall area.

Styling it

To complement the rich tones and artistic texture of this design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined contemporary furniture. Darker wood tones or blackened metal frames provide a grounded silhouette that echoes the darker mulberry elements in the skyline. Keeping surrounding fabrics simple and lightly textured allows the watercolour details to take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The design itself features deep purple and dark mulberry shades balanced against warm, earthy gold and ochre tones. For surrounding walls and trim, warm off-whites, soft creams, or muted stone tones provide a clean backdrop that lets the artwork stand out. If you want to introduce deeper accents through upholstery or accessories, rich aubergine, plum, or understated mustard accents connect naturally with the colours in the wallpaper.
