Wallpaper - Metropolis

Our Metropolis wallpaper captures the soaring geometry and graphic confidence of 1930s Art Deco architecture. The composition features monumental architectural towers rendered in deep teal and forest blue, rising against a layered sky of warm ochre, soft cream, and bold orange arcs. Stylized botanical and radiant wing-like motifs frame the central structure, creating a dynamic collage effect with painted visual texture and dramatic contrast. It is one of our mural wallpapers designed to create a striking focal point, printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its monumental vertical towers and bold central focus, we see this design working exceptionally well on a main feature wall in a living room. Giving the mural an uninterrupted wall area lets the towering structure and radiating background shapes establish their full height and visual drama. The strong upward movement also makes it a compelling choice for rooms with generous ceiling height, where the architectural lines draw the eye upward and anchor the entire space.

Styling it

The distinct retro character and strong graphic lines call for furniture with clean silhouettes that will not compete with the architectural forms. We would pair our wallpaper with dark wood or warm walnut pieces that echo the earthy depth of the background. Mid-century modern or streamlined Art Deco seating in rich velvet or smooth upholstery balances the painted collage textures nicely. For accents, brushed brass or muted bronze lighting complements the warm ochre and orange tones in the artwork without overwhelming the scene.

Color combinations

The artwork is built on deep teal and dark cyan balanced by warm earthy tones of orange, ochre, and pale cream. When selecting paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, a soft cream or warm linen tone keeps the room open and lets the darker architectural towers stand out. If you prefer a more enveloping, dramatic setting, a muted deep teal or slate blue pulled directly from the building facade creates a seamless, grounded connection across the room.
