Wallpaper - Lincoln Nebraska Skyline Concrete

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural design captures the recognizable silhouette of the Lincoln, Nebraska skyline against a warm, concrete-look background. The lower portion of the cityscape dissolves into expressive ink splatters and dripping paint marks, creating a striking balance between sharp architectural outlines and fluid, artistic texture. With its high-contrast charcoal and neutral stone palette, the motif brings a grounded, graphic character to a wall. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure according to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally across the lower middle section, this design works particularly well on an uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal profile can unfold without major breaks. In a living room, positioning the mural wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa allows the architectural silhouettes to sit cleanly above the furniture line.

In a home office, study, or teenage room, the focused contrast of the dark cityscape against the textured neutral background creates a clear focal point. The upper half of the design remains open and quiet, which helps maintain a sense of vertical space in rooms with standard ceiling heights. For long hallways or staircases, the horizontal progression of the skyline draws the eye along the wall naturally.

Styling it

The graphic presence and weathered concrete backdrop pair naturally with modern, industrial, or minimalist interior styles. To let the silhouette remain the central feature, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture shapes clean and unembellished.

Darker metal elements, such as matte black steel frames or light fixtures, echo the deep charcoal tones of the buildings. For larger furniture pieces, warm wood or simple neutral upholstery prevents the space from feeling stark while complementing the warm stone tones in the background.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers on deep charcoal black, soft graphite, and a warm, stony off-white base with subtle grey undertones.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, pale greys, or muted stone tones blend naturally with the wallpaper background. For a bolder, more enveloping scheme in a study or reading nook, pulling a deep charcoal or slate grey onto adjacent walls creates an intimate setting while tying directly into the city silhouette.
