Wallpaper - Dubai Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Dubai Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper brings Michael Tompsett’s dynamic city silhouette into an expressive, painterly focal point. Set against a clean white backdrop, the iconic skyline, featuring the towering Burj Khalifa, the distinctive Burj Al Arab, and surrounding architectural landmarks, is rendered in rich dark mulberry purples and warm gold and ochre tones. The watercolour-like appearance creates fluid bleeds, energetic splatters, and organic washes along the lower edge of the city profile, contrasting sharply with the crisp contours above. Produced to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture, this made-to-measure mural creates a bold statement on an accent wall.

In the room

Because the artwork is anchored along the horizontal baseline with generous negative space above, we see this working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or a dedicated study. Positioned behind a low-profile sofa or along a main study wall behind a desk, the graphic skyline remains clearly visible without competing with everyday furnishings. The strong horizontal composition draws the eye across the room, making it an ideal choice for a feature wall where the architectural silhouettes and delicate paint drips have room to breathe.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic purple and warm gold washes in the motif, we recommend pairing this design with contemporary furniture that features clean, uncomplicated silhouettes. Choosing low-backed seating or sleek shelving ensures the skyline outline remains fully on display.

Surrounding materials in darker wood or painted dark charcoal finishes echo the deepest mulberry shadows in the cityscape, while warm metallic elements, such as muted brass table lamps or picture frames, naturally pick up the glowing golden highlights in the artwork.

Colour combinations

The design centres on deep mulberry purple, warm gold, ochre, and crisp white. For the surrounding walls, woodwork, and large textiles, we suggest working with:

• Crisp chalky white or off-white to match the open background and keep the overall room bright and airy
• Rich aubergine or deep plum on adjacent surfaces or soft furnishings to pull out the darkest watercolour pigments
• Warm honey, ochre, or mustard tones in accent cushions, throws, or decorative objects to reflect the golden hues of the skyline
