Wallpaper - Victoria Canada Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this city skyline wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Victoria, Canada, in an expressive watercolour-style composition. Rich mulberry purple and warm earthy gold tones blend across the landmarks, dripping and splashing organically into the crisp white space below and above. The graphic silhouette combines recognizable rooflines, spires, and domes with abstract painterly texture, giving the artwork a dreamy, artistic character. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wall murals bring a striking focal point to any interior.

In the room

Because the skyline motif runs horizontally across the lower and middle composition, we like this design best on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room or a dedicated home study, placing the mural behind a low-profile sofa, a sideboard, or a desk allows the detailed architectural silhouettes and paint splatters to remain fully visible. The generous white background at the top prevents the design from overwhelming the room, making it easy to introduce a bold graphic statement while keeping the overall space feeling open and airy.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic purple and ochre tones of the artwork, we suggest pairing this design with relatively quiet surrounding furniture. Clean, modern lines work particularly well alongside the architectural subject matter, preventing the room from feeling cluttered.

Warm wood pieces, such as medium-toned oak or walnut, pick up the earthy golden undertones within the print without competing for attention. For soft furnishings and accents, we would lean towards matte finishes and simple woven textures in neutral shades, allowing the expressive watercolour character of the wall mural to remain the clear hero of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by deep mulberry purple, soft violet washes, and warm, earthy ochre-gold, all set against a clean white ground. When selecting paint for adjacent walls, a warm off-white or soft alabaster maintains a bright, continuous feel around the room. For a moodier, more tailored scheme in a study or reading corner, pulling out the deep plum or dark mulberry for adjoining woodwork, built-in shelving, or skirting boards creates a sophisticated, cohesive backdrop.
