Wallpaper - The Hauge Netherlands Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this graphic skyline wallpaper captures the architectural profile of The Hague through a striking watercolor-style silhouette. The design contrasts modern towers with historic spires, filling the urban forms with rich splatters and washes of dark mulberry purple and warm gold tones against a crisp white ground. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is the balance between recognizable city landmarks and loose, painterly energy along the skyline base. Printed to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our wallpapers bring a distinct artistic identity to modern interiors.

In the room

Because the skyline sits across the lower and middle portions of the wall with generous white space above, this design works especially well as a focal feature wall in a living room or home office. In a living room, placing the mural behind a low sofa allows the detailed spires, gables, and skyscrapers to rise cleanly above the seating line. For a dedicated study or workspace, having the architectural forms anchored along a desk wall provides an engaging graphic backdrop without overwhelming the upper half of the room. We recommend giving this design a relatively broad, uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal progression of the city profile can unfold naturally.

Styling it

To let the expressive colorwork of the wallpaper take center stage, we suggest styling the room with clean-lined contemporary furniture and restrained accents.

• Pair the mural with warm wood pieces or muted black furniture frames to ground the vibrant watercolor tones and echo the structural lines of the architecture.
• Introduce decorative hardware or lighting in warm brass or brushed gold to subtly pick up on the ochre and golden hues in the skyline wash.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and area rugs relatively quiet, opting for solid woven textures rather than competing graphic patterns.

Color combinations

The artwork itself features deep mulberry purple, lavender undertones, warm gold, and rich amber splashes set against a clean white backdrop. When considering surrounding walls and trim, a crisp warm white or soft off-white keeps the open space at the top of the mural feeling seamless and airy. If you prefer deeper contrast in the room, pulling a rich plum or dark aubergine onto adjacent walls, shelving, or window treatments creates an enveloping, dramatic mood that complements the darkest tones of the silhouette.
