Wallpaper - Rainbow Over New York City

Captured by Tomas Sereda, our Rainbow Over New York City wallpaper presents an expansive photographic view over Manhattan, framed by a soft, luminous rainbow arcing across the sky. The Empire State Building rises as the central anchor among layered architectural details, contrasted by warm sunset highlights against cool blue and slate tones across the urban skyline. The panoramic depth and architectural detail give this wall mural a commanding, open atmosphere across wider walls. Like all our wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a main feature wall in a spacious living room. Because the composition relies on vertical skyscraper lines anchored by the dramatic sweep of the rainbow, it benefits from a generous, uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the city view can unfold. Positioned behind a low-profile sofa or along an open dining wall, the expansive perspective introduces depth and visual movement without cluttering the floor plan. We suggest keeping tall storage units or high shelving off this wall so the architectural skyline remains clearly visible from across the room.

Styling it

To balance the dense architectural detail and panoramic photography of the wallpaper, we recommend keeping surrounding furnishings clean-lined and understated:

• Choose low, horizontal furniture shapes that anchor the bottom edge of the wall without competing with the Empire State Building and surrounding cityscape.
• Bring in darker metal accents or crisp black frames to echo the sharp, structural geometry present throughout Manhattan's architecture.
• Incorporate smooth leather, dense wool, or structured upholstery in neutral tones to complement the urban theme while adding warmth to the seating area.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a palette of cool slate greys, sky blues, and warm golden-hour tones illuminating the building facades, topped by the gentle spectrum of the rainbow. To complement these tones, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft warm off-whites, pale stone greys, or a muted slate blue drawn directly from the skyline. Charcoal or deep graphite accents on trim, door frames, or lighting fixtures will pick up the darker architectural shadows, while ochre or amber decorative touches can gently highlight the golden reflections on the skyscrapers.
