Wallpaper - Uppsala Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Uppsala Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper brings the historic Swedish cityscape into focus through an expressive, watercolor-like composition. Designed by Michael Tompsett, this piece captures the distinctive silhouette of Uppsala, from the towering cathedral spires to the castle and historic university architecture, rendered in deep purple and rich ochre gold tones against a crisp white background. Splatters and fluid pigment washes ground the base of the architectural silhouettes, giving the design an artistic and contemporary feel. Printed as a made-to-measure mural on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, it creates a striking focal point across any accent wall.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well in a living room, home office, or study where you want an architectural statement that feels cultured yet modern. Because the visual weight is concentrated along the lower and middle horizontal band, the airy white space above keeps the room feeling open and bright. On a wider, uninterrupted wall behind a sofa or an executive desk, the full horizontal panorama of the skyline can be appreciated without feeling crowded. In a study or library setting, the interplay of historical spires and energetic watercolor splashes provides an inspiring, thoughtful backdrop that anchors the entire space.

Styling it

To let the expressive character of the skyline lead the room, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean-lined and contemporary. Sleek, low-profile pieces ensure that the architectural details remain visible and uncluttered across the wall.

Deep, dark wood finishes such as walnut or smoked oak pair beautifully with the rich purple and sienna undertones in the print. To balance the vibrant gold and ochre tones, incorporate brass or warm metallic lighting fixtures and hardware that subtly echo the golden hues within the artwork. Keeping larger upholstery in neutral creams, soft grays, or textured linens allows the colors of the mural to take center stage.

Color combinations

The motif features an evocative blend of deep violet purple, warm sienna brown, and golden ochre, all set against a clean white ground. When coordinating paint and interior accents, adjacent walls in a crisp off-white or light cool gray will mirror the background and keep the room luminous. For a cozier, more immersive mood in a study, you can pull the deep eggplant purple or earthy sienna into accent chairs, velvet throw pillows, or custom shelving.
