Wallpaper - Ulaanbaatar Mongolia Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural skyline wallpaper captures the city of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, in an expressive watercolor-inspired style. The composition features distinct city landmarks and modern towers rendered in rich dark mulberry purple, ochre, and warm golden tones, dissolving along the base into dynamic paint splatters and textured drips against a crisp white background. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper brings an artistic, graphic presence to any interior wall.

In the room

We love how the silhouette anchors a space horizontally while keeping the upper half open and airy. In a living room, this mural wallpaper makes an ideal feature wall behind a low-profile sofa, allowing the detailed architectural outlines and equestrian statue silhouette to remain fully in view. It also works beautifully in a dedicated home office, positioned along the main accent wall opposite or behind your desk where the bold contrast adds visual energy without cluttering the entire room. Because the motif occupies the lower and middle zones of the mural against a clean white backdrop, it introduces strong graphic character while preserving an open, spacious feeling across larger uninterrupted walls.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest balancing the expressive watercolor textures with streamlined contemporary or eclectic furniture.

• Choose low-profile furniture in clean, tailored silhouettes so the lower paint drips and architectural details stay visible and uncluttered.
• Bring in warm brass, brushed gold, or matte black metal accents to echo both the warm ochre tones and the dark graphic silhouettes of the skyline.
• Incorporate neutral textiles in warm white, cream, or soft oat to mirror the light background and let the purple and gold tones command attention.

Color combinations

The design itself centers on deep mulberry purple, rich ochre, warm gold, and a bright white base. To complement these colors in your room, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with off-white, soft cream, or light warm gray on adjacent painted walls to keep the surroundings cohesive. For deeper accent notes, consider rich plum upholstery, muted mustard cushions, or charcoal trim, which draw directly from the painterly splashes without overwhelming the room.
