Wallpaper - Bern Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Bern Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper by Michael Tompsett brings together the architectural silhouette of the Swiss capital with expressive, watercolour-style splatters. The composition sets the historic towers, domes, and rooftops of Bern against a clean, crisp background, rendered in rich tones of dark mulberry purple and earthy gold. What we particularly like is how the delicate droplets and expressive paint bleeds soften the defined architectural outlines, creating an artistic accent on the wall. Made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions, our wall murals are PVC-free with a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally with a lot of open white space above the spires, this design works especially well across a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room, we love positioning it behind a low-backed sofa, allowing the detailed silhouette and lower paint drips to anchor the seating area while keeping the upper half of the wall feeling light and open.

In a dedicated home office or study, the design provides an engaging backdrop without visually overwhelming the workspace. The horizontal balance means desk furniture can sit naturally beneath the main skyline silhouette without cutting off the most prominent spires and domed towers.

Styling it

To balance the expressive watercolour technique and rich tones of this mural wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined contemporary furniture. The contrast between crisp, modern silhouettes and painterly textures helps each element stand out cleanly.

For surrounding furnishings, darker wood finishes or rich walnut tones harmonise with the deeper mulberry and earthy gold shades. If you prefer a lighter look, warm neutral upholstery allows the deep jewel and ochre pigments of the skyline to remain the clear visual focus of the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on deep dark mulberry purple and earthy ochre gold, anchored by a clean white background. To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend pulling the warm ochre or deep berry tones into surrounding accents such as cushions, throws, or framed prints.

For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, warm pale greys, or muted biscuit tones complement the crisp negative space in the upper part of the wallpaper. If you want a more dramatic, immersive setting, a deep aubergine or charcoal grey on adjoining walls creates an intimate feel around the artwork.
