Wallpaper - Providence Rhode Island Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this expressive skyline wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Providence, Rhode Island, through a dynamic watercolor-style treatment. Rich dark mulberry purple blends into warm golden ochre tones, creating vivid visual texture with paint splatters and translucent washes against a clean white backdrop. The horizontal composition grounds the recognizable buildings and spires across the lower half of the mural while leaving generous negative space above. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. Because the skyline motif runs horizontally across the lower portion of the wall, it naturally anchors low-profile furniture such as a sofa, a long credenza, or a writing desk without feeling crowded. The expansive white space above keeps the upper wall open and airy, making the pattern adaptable to both compact rooms and larger open spaces where you want visual drama without overwhelming the entire perimeter.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolor texture and bold silhouette take center stage, we recommend pairing this design with clean-lined contemporary or mid-century modern furniture. Low-slung seating and floating shelving work exceptionally well beneath the horizontal skyline band, preserving the full architectural silhouette. Matte black metal accents or deep plum upholstery create a tailored look that echoes the dark mulberry purple, while natural honey-toned or darker wood finishes harmonize effortlessly with the golden ochre washes.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a striking palette of dark mulberry purple, soft violet, warm golden ochre, and crisp white. For surrounding walls and millwork, a clean off-white or soft warm gray maintains an open atmosphere while letting the mural stand out. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space, pull out the deep purple or rich ochre from the skyline for adjacent walls, built-in shelving, or accent textiles.
