Wallpaper - Touring Paris

Our Touring Paris wallpaper, created by artist Julia Purinton, captures a romantic Parisian street scene rendered with the soft, painterly texture of an oil painting. Haussmann-style stone facades, charming street-side brasseries with warm glowing lights and vibrant red awnings, and the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower come together beneath a luminous, hazy sky. Wet street reflections wash through the foreground in gentle brushstrokes, creating depth and an atmospheric, nostalgic mood. Rendered in a palette of warm ochre, light brown, soft grey, and cream with vivid red accents, this design brings classical European elegance to any interior. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this architectural scene working exceptionally well on a feature wall in a dining room or living room, where the linear perspective can open up the room visually. Because the artwork features a central vanishing point receding toward the Eiffel Tower, placing it on a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full architectural depth and gentle street reflections to unfold without distraction.

In a dining space, positioning the wallpaper along the main wall creates the evocative ambience of a Parisian café, making evening dinners feel intimate and transportive. In a living room, it works beautifully behind a low-profile sofa, ensuring the detailed cafe frontage and distant skyline remain visible above the furniture line.

Styling it

To complement the rich painterly character and classical architecture of the design, we suggest pairing it with timeless, refined furnishings:

• Choose warm wood dining tables or credenzas, such as mid-toned oak, antique walnut, or dark mahogany, which echo the earthy browns and classical stone facades of the painting.
• Introduce classic bistro-inspired seating, such as bentwood chairs or upholstered dining chairs in neutral linen, to harmonise with the café scene.
• Accentuate the vivid red awnings with small, intentional decorative notes around the room, like burgundy or terracotta ceramics, velvet cushions, or fresh floral arrangements.
• Incorporate warm, low-level ambient lighting with pleated fabric lampshades or antique brass sconces to mirror the inviting glow emanating from the illustrated café windows.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Touring Paris design is anchored in earthy neutrals: warm sand, light brown, soft limestone grey, and muted creams, enlivened by striking pops of pillar-box red and subtle deep greens in the topiaries.

When decorating around this wallpaper, we recommend painting adjoining walls and woodwork in warm, creamy whites, soft stone, or pale biscuit tones. These gentle hues maintain the luminous quality of the sky and reflections without overwhelming the space. If you prefer deeper contrast, a rich espresso brown or muted charcoal on baseboards and architectural moulding will frame the wall murals handsomely, while accents of crimson, brick red, or warm mustard in upholstery and accessories will naturally tie the entire room together.
