Wallpaper - Stockholm Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, this architectural mural wallpaper captures the iconic Stockholm skyline through expressive watercolor-inspired silhouettes and dynamic splatters. The composition anchors recognizable landmarks across the lower half against a clean white background, blending deep mulberry purple with warm ochre and gold tones. What we particularly like is the balance between the precise architectural contours of the towers and spires and the fluid, organic paint bleeds beneath them. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper, it brings an artistic urban focal point into modern living spaces.

In the room

We see this skyline mural working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall in a living room or home office where the full horizontal span can unfold without visual interruption. Because the top portion of the design is kept open and light while the rich purple and ochre details are concentrated across the lower third, the wallpaper grounds the space without overwhelming it. In a living room, placing a low-profile sofa along the wall lets the distinctive church spires and towers rise clearly into view above the furniture line. In a home office or study, positioning a clean-lined desk in front creates an inspiring urban backdrop for daily focus.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolor motif stand out, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture shapes relatively simple and tailored. Warm wood tones, such as honey oak or walnut, pick up the earthy gold and ochre pigments in the skyline, while dark mulberry or plum accents in cushions or throws bring out the deeper architectural silhouettes. Contemporary or eclectic spaces with clean architectural lighting allow the fine splashes and tonal nuances to show their full character.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper combines deep mulberry purple and earthy ochre gold against a crisp white ground. When selecting paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, warm off-whites and pale stone shades maintain the open feeling of the upper composition. For a moodier or more enveloping palette, bringing in rich plum, deep violet, or muted mustard on adjoining walls or upholstered furniture creates a cohesive, design-led connection with the artwork.
