Wallpaper - Quito Ecuador Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Quito Ecuador Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Quito through an expressive, watercolor-like composition by artist Michael Tompsett. Set against a crisp, clean background, the city’s landmark towers, historic basilicas, and monuments emerge in rich purple, dark mulberry, and warm golden ochre tones. Dynamic paint splatters and textured ink bleeds anchor the lower edge of the skyline, creating a graphic contrast between defined silhouettes and fluid artistic marks. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a vibrant focal point to modern spaces.

In the room

We especially like this design on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall in a living room or home office where the full horizontal span of the skyline has room to breathe. Because the upper section remains open and light, the wallpaper adds height to a room without making the space feel closed in.

In a study or home workspace, positioning the skyline above a desk or low shelving keeps the intricate architectural details visible. The bold purple and golden tones carry enough presence to define an accent wall, while the clean white background makes it easy to integrate into bright, contemporary room layouts.

Styling it

To let the expressive skyline take centre stage, we would pair this mural with clean-lined furniture in rich walnut or muted black finishes. The graphic nature of the silhouette works beautifully alongside contemporary pieces with slender metal frames or minimalist profiles.

When selecting decorative elements, we suggest introducing accents that echo the artwork's golden ochre or deep aubergine tones, such as a velvet cushion, a low-pile rug, or warm ambient lamps. Keeping surrounding artwork minimal ensures the room maintains a focused, uncluttered feel.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a distinctive palette of dark mulberry, vibrant purple, and warm golden tones grounded on a pure white backdrop.

For the surrounding walls and trim, a clean off-white or soft warm grey creates a seamless transition that highlights the skyline. If you prefer a richer and more enveloping atmosphere, deep aubergine or charcoal paint on adjacent walls draws out the darker watercolor bleeds in the motif. Accents in muted ochre, mustard, or brushed brass will naturally pick up the warm golden elements within the print.
