Wallpaper - Manila Philippines Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by artist Michael Tompsett, our Manila Philippines Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper interprets the distinct cityscape through expressive watercolor-inspired splashes and rich color gradients. The design showcases iconic architectural silhouettes set against a clean, plain white background, rendered in deep mulberry purple, warm ochre, and shimmering gold tones. Splatters and fluid color blends give the architectural profile an energetic, painterly character with a clear horizontal orientation. Like all of our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall where the full horizontal span of the skyline can unfold naturally. In a living room, placing the mural behind a low-profile sofa allows the expressive splatters and skyline details to remain entirely visible above the seating. It also makes a striking backdrop in a dedicated home office, bringing artistic depth and a worldly focus to the wall behind a desk without cluttering the room. Because the upper half of the motif stays open and airy on its white background, the wall mural anchors the lower section of the room while keeping higher wall space feeling light and expansive.

Styling it

To let the expressive splash technique and rich tones stand out, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively understated in form and clean in silhouette. Contemporary or eclectic interior styles complement the fluid, painterly energy of the artwork naturally. Pairing the wallpaper with warm wood furniture or subtle brass metal accents harmonizes with the ochre and golden yellow tones in the print. We suggest using lower storage units, credenzas, or open desks around this wall so the architectural skyline remains the central visual focus of the space.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a bold mix of deep mulberry purple, violet hues, warm gold, and ochre against a crisp white field. For surrounding wall surfaces and trim, a clean off-white or soft warm cream keeps the contrast fresh and mirrors the upper background. If you want to lean into the moodier, richer side of the palette, incorporating deep plum, muted violet, or dark navy textiles on upholstery and drapery creates a cohesive and immersive setting. Warm accents in caramel, mustard, or amber echo the golden tones in the skyline.
