Wallpaper - Baku Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, our Baku Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the distinctive architectural landmarks of Baku through an expressive watercolour-like silhouette set against an open white backdrop. Deep mulberry purple and warm ochre-gold tones blend with delicate paint splatters across the lower skyline, grounding iconic structures such as the Flame Towers, the TV Tower, and the Ferris wheel in rich, painterly colour. The upper half remains airy and clean, balancing dramatic detail with generous negative space. Like all our wallpapers, this mural design is made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper that brings quiet depth to your wall.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a living room, home office, or dedicated study where its strong horizontal rhythm can anchor the space. Because the architectural detail and colour concentration sit across the middle and lower sections, the wallpaper naturally creates an artistic focal wall without overwhelming the entire room. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa allows the varied silhouettes and spattered pigment to remain visible while the clean white upper half keeps the space feeling bright and expansive. In a study or home office, it provides a sophisticated visual backdrop that introduces creative energy while maintaining an orderly, uncluttered aesthetic.

Styling it

To let the dynamic skyline remain the hero of the room, we suggest pairing this mural with furniture that features clean, modern profiles.

• Choose warm wood tones or painted dark furniture that echoes the rich depth of the mulberry and gold silhouette without competing with its intricate outlines.
• Introduce brushed brass or bronze lighting accents to naturally tie in with the warm ochre-gold highlights scattered throughout the cityscape.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger rugs relatively neutral, opting for textured fabrics in off-white or soft cream to complement the open background.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around deep mulberry purple, warm ochre gold, and crisp white. For adjacent painted walls, soft neutral shades such as warm white, biscuit, or light ivory harmonize effortlessly with the background, creating a seamless transition around the room. If you prefer a bolder, more dramatic mood, a deep plum, dark aubergine, or muted gold accent colour on adjacent woodwork, shelving, or alcoves will pull out the rich pigments within the architectural silhouettes.
