Wallpaper - Kuala Lumpur Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, this wallpaper features the distinctive skyline of Kuala Lumpur rendered in an expressive watercolour silhouette. Defined architectural profiles, including the Petronas Towers and KL Tower, emerge from an atmospheric base of deep mulberry purple and warm golden tones with dynamic paint splatters and bleeding pigment. Set against a clean, crisp background, the horizontal composition balances architectural structure with energetic artistic texture. Our wall murals are made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and are produced on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the artwork is anchored horizontally across the lower and middle sections with a clean, open upper area, we find it works particularly well as a focal feature wall. In a living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa allows the architectural skyline and taller spires to command attention without being blocked. It also brings strong visual character to a dedicated home office, where the balance of graphic cityscape and fluid paint splatters creates an engaging backdrop behind a desk. For spaces with standard ceiling heights, the generous negative space above the skyline helps maintain an airy, uncluttered feel.

Styling it

To let the dynamic watercolour artwork remain the focal point, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and contemporary. Low-slung seating and minimalist shelving work beautifully here, ensuring the lower silhouette and splattered details stay visible.

For accompanying materials, pairing this design with dark-stained timber or black metal accents echoes the deeper architectural outlines. If you prefer a softer look, introducing warm brass lighting or hardware complements the golden ochre tones within the skyline, creating a cohesive, well-considered interior.

Colour combinations

The motif itself combines rich mulberry purple, aubergine, and deep indigo with golden ochre, mustard, and warm amber tones, set against an off-white backdrop.

When decorating the surrounding space, soft warm neutrals, light biscuit, or muted stone on adjacent walls will complement the backdrop without competing with the design. To create a more dramatic, intimate atmosphere, you could pull the deep mulberry or rich charcoal tones from the base of the skyline onto neighbouring woodwork or soft furnishings.
