Wallpaper - Lincoln Nebraska Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Lincoln Nebraska Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper features a dynamic architectural skyline silhouette rendered in an artistic watercolor-like splatter style. Designed by Michael Tompsett, the cityscape balances deep purple, warm gold, ochre, and soft lilac splatters against a clean, open white background. The silhouette captures iconic architectural landmarks, including the recognizable dome of the Nebraska State Capitol building, with expressive paint drips and ink bleeds grounding the lower portion of the motif. Printed as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle structure in the paper, this design provides a striking graphic focal point while keeping the upper wall airy and uncluttered.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal accent wall in a living room, study, or home office. Because the skyline is positioned along the lower and mid-section of the motif with an open white sky above, it brings strong visual impact without overwhelming a room. On a main living room wall behind a low-profile sofa, or in a study behind a desk, the horizontal progression of the Lincoln cityscape has plenty of room to stretch out.

The design also suits a teenage room, guest room, or entryway where you want an expressive, artistic theme. In rooms with standard or lower ceiling heights, the generous negative space at the top helps maintain an open, uncluttered feeling across the wall.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolor splatter and silhouette remain the focal point, we recommend keeping surrounding furnishings tailored and relatively simple. Contemporary furniture with clean lines pairs naturally with the modern graphic character of the skyline.

Warm wood tones, such as walnut, oak, or dark wood finishes, echo the rich amber and gold tones in the artwork. For hardware and lighting accents, warm brass or matte black finishes connect smoothly with the deep purples and warm ochres. Surrounding textiles in neutral tones like cream, soft charcoal, or linen textures will support the wall mural without competing with its vivid palette.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a distinctive palette of deep purple, dusty violet, rich gold, ochre, and crisp white.

When choosing colors for adjacent painted walls and trim, warm off-white or soft alabaster paint creates a seamless continuation of the wallpaper's pale background. If you prefer a moodier atmosphere, pulling a deep plum, eggplant, or charcoal from the darkest parts of the silhouette onto neighboring walls or built-in cabinetry provides dramatic depth. For subtle warmth, soft honey, camel, or muted wheat tones can be used in upholstery and curtains to highlight the gold and ochre watercolor washes.
