Wallpaper - Pandharpur India Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, this architectural mural wallpaper captures the distinctive Pandharpur skyline through an expressive watercolour-style silhouette. Rendered in deep mulberry purple, warm ochre gold, and earthy amber tones with painterly splatters, the cityscape rests along the lower portion against a clean white background. What we particularly like is how the horizontal skyline composition leaves generous open space above, allowing the detailed temple spires, historic gates, and landmarks to anchor the wall without overwhelming the room. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom made to your exact dimensions, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because the main skyline motif runs horizontally across the lower register with white space above, we see this working exceptionally well on a main feature wall in a living room, study, or dedicated home art studio. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa lets the intricate silhouette rise cleanly above the furniture line. The contrast between the detailed architecture below and the open white expanse above keeps the room feeling airy, making it a natural choice for rooms with standard ceiling heights where you want visual impact without closing in the space.

Styling it

To let the dynamic watercolour textures and rich tones take centre stage, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded and clean in form.

• Choose low-backed furniture, such as a contemporary sofa or a streamlined wooden desk, so the architectural skyline remains visible across the length of the wall.
• Introduce warm wood finishes like dark walnut or warm teak to echo the earthy gold and amber pigments in the silhouette.
• Add muted brass or blackened metal accents in lighting or hardware to reflect the architectural structure of the motif.

Colour combinations

The design itself balances rich base tones of dark mulberry purple and earthy ochre gold with the crisp white of the upper backdrop. When planning the rest of the room, we suggest pulling warm neutrals, soft sandy beiges, or gentle off-whites onto adjacent walls to maintain the luminous feel of the white background. For upholstery or accents, deeper aubergine, plum, or warm terracotta tones pick up the darker splatters in the motif and create a cohesive, inviting scheme.
