Wallpaper - Wigan England Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Wigan England Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Wigan through an expressive, watercolor-like treatment by artist Michael Tompsett. Deep purple tones and warm ochre gold blend across landmark silhouettes, historic facades, and industrial chimneys, dissolving into energetic paint splatters along the lower edge. Set against a clean, plain white background, the horizontal skyline composition balances fine architectural detail with loose, painterly atmosphere. We make our mural wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating a striking focal point for a living room or study.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally along the lower half with generous white space above, we see this working particularly well across a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room behind a low-backed sofa or in a bedroom behind a headboard, the architectural landmarks sit naturally above the furniture line without feeling crowded.

In a home office or study, the rich purple and golden tones add distinct personality without overwhelming the room, thanks to the calm open backdrop. For a hallway or staircase, placing our wallpaper along a continuous wall lets the eye follow the changing silhouettes from historic parish towers to mill chimneys.

Styling it

We would keep the surrounding decor relatively grounded to let the expressive skyline take center stage. Contemporary furniture with clean lines and low profiles works especially well here, ensuring the fine details of the buildings remain visible.

Darker wood tones or painted black elements echo the deep purple architectural outlines, while warm brushed brass accents bring out the ochre and golden hues in the print. To balance the expressive watercolor splatters, pair the wall with quiet, solid-color upholstery and simple tailored window treatments rather than competing patterns.

Color combinations

The primary palette within our wallpaper blends deep aubergine purple, rich ochre gold, and soft sepia against a pure white ground.

For adjacent walls and trim, a warm off-white or crisp neutral keeps the space open and lets the skyline stand out clearly. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out a muted plum, warm mustard, or deep charcoal for doors, built-in shelving, or accent furniture creates a cohesive and intentional look.
