Wallpaper - Ulaanbaatar Mongolia Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Ulaanbaatar skyline wallpaper by Michael Tompsett interprets the architectural profile of the Mongolian capital through expressive watercolour-like splatters and rich, textured pigment. Set against a clean white backdrop, the silhouette captures distinctive local landmarks, from modern high-rises to traditional temples and the iconic Genghis Khan equestrian statue. The motif is defined by a bold interplay of dark mulberry purple and warm, golden ochre tones that bleed together with dynamic ink drops along the base. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the skyline sits along the lower half of the composition with generous open space above, we see this working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. Placing the design behind a sofa or low desk allows the intricate silhouettes of the buildings and monuments to remain clearly visible without being cut off by tall furniture. The strong horizontal line grounds the room, while the white upper portion maintains a sense of height and openness, making it a great choice for spaces where you want a dramatic focal point that does not feel visually heavy.

Styling it

To balance the expressive artwork, we would pair this design with contemporary furniture that features clean, architectural profiles. A sleek dark wooden sideboard or a minimalist desk creates a sharp dialogue with the silhouette, while warm metallic accents such as brass lighting or understated gold frames reflect the golden tones within the watercolour splatter. Keeping surrounding upholstery in muted, solid fabrics allows the vibrant contrast of the mural wallpapers to lead the interior without competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The design centres on deep mulberry purple and warm gold, contrasted against a crisp white background. To build a cohesive palette around the wallpaper, we suggest introducing rich aubergine or warm honey accents through cushions, curtains, or small decorative pieces. For adjoining walls and woodwork, off-white or light neutral tones keep the focus on the skyline while maintaining a bright, balanced atmosphere throughout the room.
