Wallpaper - Strasbourg France Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, our Strasbourg France Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the historic cityscape through an expressive, watercolor-style silhouette set against a clean white backdrop. Rich tones of dark mulberry purple blend with warm golden ochre across architectural landmarks, punctuated by dynamic splatters and ink-like blooms along the lower skyline. The open white space above balances the vivid color below, creating a striking horizontal focal point. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings an artistic, modern perspective to any room.

In the room

Because the detailed skyline runs horizontally across the lower and middle portion of the design, we especially like this mural wallpaper along a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing it behind a low-profile sofa allows the soaring spires of the cathedral and detailed domes to rise clearly into view. It also works beautifully in a home office, where the expansive white upper portion keeps the room feeling airy while the rich architectural base anchors a desk setup.

Styling it

To let the expressive colorwork stand out, we would pair this design with clean-lined contemporary furniture in warm wood tones, such as walnut or natural oak, which echo the gold and ochre pigments. Adding subtle dark bronze or matte black lighting fixtures helps frame the architectural silhouette without competing with the dynamic splatters. Keeping surrounding textiles quiet, such as unpatterned upholstery in cream or soft oatmeal, allows the skyline to remain the main visual feature of the space.

Color combinations

The wallpaper centers on deep mulberry purple and warm, golden ochre set against an off-white ground. For adjacent painted walls, we recommend soft, warm whites or muted bone tones that pick up the background and keep the transition seamless. If you prefer deeper accents, rich aubergine, plum, or warm cognac in your decor will highlight the saturated watercolor tones within the buildings.
