Wallpaper - Kingston upon Thames England Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this watercolor-style skyline wallpaper captures the distinctive architecture of Kingston upon Thames in rich shades of dark mulberry purple and golden ochre. The composition sets recognizable landmarks along a crisp horizontal horizon, grounded by painterly splatters and fluid color bleeds that fade into a clean white background above. The high visual contrast between the deep purple silhouettes and luminous gold tones gives the architectural shapes an expressive, graphic presence. Like all our custom made wall murals, this design is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, made to your exact wall dimensions.

In the room

Because the skyline sits across the lower and middle portions of the mural against a clean, open upper area, we see this working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. Placing the mural behind a sofa, low media console, or desk allows the architectural silhouettes to anchor the room without feeling crowded. The generous white space at the top of the design keeps the overall visual weight grounded, making it suitable for rooms with standard ceiling heights where you want strong visual character without overwhelming the entire wall.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with furniture that has clean, contemporary lines to complement the graphic nature of the silhouette. Low-profile seating in deep charcoal, warm plum, or neutral ivory keeps the focus on the artwork. If you introduce decorative metals, warm brass or antique bronze finishes pick up on the golden ochre washes throughout the buildings. Keeping surrounding shelving and wall art minimal allows the horizontal panorama of the skyline to remain the main focal point of the space.

Color combinations

The primary palette within our wallpaper features deep mulberry purple, warm gold, and ochre against a crisp white ground. When choosing paint for adjoining walls or trim, consider warm off-white, soft parchment, or pale biscuit to echo the bright negative space. For a more dramatic and cohesive look, drawing out the deep purple or a muted plum tone for an accent wall, painted trim, or velvet upholstery creates a rich, intentional backdrop.
