Wallpaper - Split Croatia Skyline Black & White

In our Split Croatia Skyline Black & White wallpaper by Michael Tompsett, the historic Adriatic cityscape is captured in a striking monochrome silhouette. Architectural landmarks such as Diocletian's Palace, the distinctive Saint Domnius bell tower, and distant coastal towers rise above an expressive base with ink-splatter and watercolour-inspired textures. Crisp graphic outlines meet textured charcoal grey and deep black tones against a clean white backdrop, creating a bold horizontal profile with generous negative space. Like all our wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or home office. The horizontal layout of the skyline means it benefits from a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the architectural landmarks can span naturally from end to end. Placing it behind a low-backed sofa or along a dedicated study wall keeps the detailed silhouette visible while letting the generous open white space above give the room an airy, uncluttered feel. Because the motif is concentrated across the lower and middle portions of the wall, it grounds the room without overwhelming higher ceilings or smaller spaces.

Styling it

The stark graphic contrast of this design makes it a natural partner for contemporary and minimalist interiors. We would keep the surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated, allowing the silhouette to serve as the visual anchor. Black metal accents, such as slim-profile desk frames or lighting fixtures, echo the ink-drawn architecture nicely. For furniture, lighter wood or simple painted surfaces provide a clean foundation that balances the dark charcoal tones without competing with the detailed skyline.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself relies entirely on deep black, textured charcoal grey, and crisp white. When choosing surrounding colours, we suggest either continuing this graphic monochrome scheme or introducing soft, neutral counterparts. Crisp off-white and cool grey paint on adjacent walls maintain the sharp architectural character. If you want to soften the contrast, warm stone tones, soft taupe, or deep slate blue in surrounding upholstery and accessories complement the ink tones while adding subtle depth to the room.
