Wallpaper - St Louis Missouri Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, our St Louis Missouri Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the recognizable silhouette of the Gateway Arch and downtown cityscape in an expressive watercolor style. Rich purple, dark mulberry, and warm golden tones blend through ink splatters and textured washes against a crisp, clean background. The skyline sits along the lower half of the composition, giving the upper wall breathing room while anchoring the room with architectural identity. Like all Wallism wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline silhouette is concentrated horizontally across the lower and middle composition with open space above, this wallpaper works naturally across wide, uninterrupted walls in a living room or home office. The dramatic arch provides a clear central anchor, making the design particularly effective behind a low sofa, credenza, or desk where the upper architectural profile remains fully visible. In a home office, it creates an artistic focal point that brings energy to the space without cluttering the upper sightlines. In a living room, giving the mural a broad accent wall allows the watercolor splatters and fluid color transitions to be appreciated across the entire width of the space.

Styling it

The expressive mix of deep purple and warm gold gives this design a bold character that pairs well with contemporary or eclectic interiors. We recommend balancing the watercolor texture with streamlined, understated furniture to keep the architectural motif at the center of attention.

• Ground the room with warm wood furniture or painted dark accents that echo the deepest mulberry and shadow tones in the skyline.
• Choose low-profile furniture silhouettes, such as a clean-lined desk or minimalist media console, so the Gateway Arch and building details remain unobstructed.
• Incorporate warm lighting or muted brass accents to highlight the golden and amber watercolor washes across the composition.

Color combinations

The artwork centers on a rich combination of dark mulberry, royal purple, and warm golden amber set against a white ground. To build a cohesive room around this wallpaper, look to warm off-whites or soft parchment tones for adjacent walls and trim, which echo the light negative space above the city. For accent pieces and upholstery, deep jewel tones like plum or aubergine create a rich connection to the darker ink washes, while ochre, mustard, and warm camel textiles pick up the glowing golden highlights within the silhouette.
