Wallpaper - Chester England Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Chester England Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper mural presents the historic architecture of Chester in a graphic silhouette layered with expressive watercolour-style ink splashes. Created by Michael Tompsett, this artwork balances rich aubergine and deep purple tones with warm ochre, amber, and gold against an open white background. The skyline features recognizable landmarks, spires, and bridges anchored by a dramatic splattered base that brings dynamic movement to the lower portion of the wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally with generous negative space above the roofline, we find this mural works especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room, dining room, or home study. Placing it behind a low-backed sofa or a dining credenza allows the detailed architectural profile to sit comfortably in the upper half of the view, while the darker ink splashes ground the composition below eye level.

The high contrast between the rich pigments and the clean white backdrop creates a strong focal point. In a bedroom or guest room, positioning the skyline across the wall behind the headboard gives the space an artistic anchor without feeling enclosed. The open white space in the upper portion of the design keeps smaller rooms or hallways feeling airy, making it a versatile option across both compact spaces and larger, open-plan layouts.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this architectural mural with relatively quiet furnishings to let the rich colours and intricate silhouettes take centre stage. Clean-lined contemporary furniture or mid-century pieces in warm woods, such as walnut or teak, echo the amber and gold tones within the cityscape without competing for attention.

For decorative accents, subtle brass or blackened metal hardware complements the graphic ink quality of the design. When selecting textiles, solid colours work best here; simple cushions and throws in deep plum, muted ochre, or crisp neutral tones help pull the room together while keeping visual clutter to a minimum.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features deep aubergine, violet, warm ochre, and antique gold set against a clean white background.

To create a balanced interior, we suggest using off-white, crisp ivory, or soft stone on adjacent walls to extend the open feel of the mural's background. For a bolder, more enveloping scheme in a dining room or library, consider pulling out the darker purple or warm mustard tones for trim, architectural panelling, or accent upholstery. Deeper charcoal and slate grey also work naturally alongside the darker architectural elements.
