Wallpaper - Seoul Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Seoul Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper by Michael Tompsett captures the iconic architectural silhouette of South Korea's capital through a rich, watercolour-inspired interpretation. Set against a clean white backdrop, the city profile combines deep purple and dark mulberry tones with warm golden ochre, blending crisp architectural lines with soft splatters and fluid painted textures. The horizontal composition highlights landmarks such as the Lotte World Tower and N Seoul Tower, creating a graphic focal point across the wall. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings expressive skyline art into modern interiors.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a contemporary living room or a dedicated home office. Because the cityscape runs horizontally with open white space above, it creates a striking panoramic effect without making the room feel visually crowded.

In a living room, we would place this wall mural behind a low-profile sofa or media console so the detailed drips and architectural contours remain unobstructed. In a home office or study, positioning the mural along the main feature wall gives the room an engaging, cultured backdrop that anchors the entire space.

Styling it

To balance the expressive watercolour textures of our mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing them with sleek, minimalist furniture. Modern pieces with clean geometric lines echo the urban skyline while allowing the purple and gold tones to take centre stage.

We like combining this artwork with warm brass or brushed gold metal accents to draw out the ochre pigments in the print. When it comes to surrounding furniture, deep charcoal, matte black, or neutral upholstery creates a grounded, sophisticated setting that complements the artistic mood of the wall.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a dynamic palette of dark mulberry, royal purple, and rich golden ochre set against a pure white background.

To create a cohesive interior, we suggest painting adjacent walls in a crisp off-white or soft warm grey to maintain an open, airy atmosphere. For a bolder, more dramatic scheme, deep plum or dark graphite on surrounding woodwork and accents picks up on the darkest tones in the skyline, giving the room a layered and deliberate feel.
