Wallpaper - Perth Australia Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this Perth skyline wallpaper captures the city's architectural profile through an expressive watercolor silhouette. Set against a clean white background, the urban skyline is filled with textured splatters and washes in warm ochre, sienna brown, and deep violet purple tones. The horizontal composition balances recognizable skyscraper outlines with abstract drips and painterly bleeding along the base. Printed as made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings a distinctive artistic focal point to an accent wall.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working especially well across a main feature wall where its wide horizontal span can unfold without interruption. In a living room, placing the skyline behind a low-profile sofa lets the architectural peaks rise naturally above the seating line, while the crisp white upper section keeps the room feeling open. In a home office or study, positioning the mural along a desk wall creates an engaging, creative backdrop that adds visual energy without overwhelming the space. Because the artwork anchors its visual weight along the lower center and leaves the upper wall clean, it suits rooms with standard or lower ceilings just as comfortably as rooms with tall wall proportions.

Styling it

To let the watercolor technique stand out, we would pair this design with furniture that has clean, contemporary lines. Low credenzas, sleek writing desks, or unadorned media consoles in warm wood finishes like walnut or natural oak help ground the rich ochre and brown tones of the skyline. For surrounding furnishings, simple matte finishes allow the expressive drips and painterly textures of the mural to take center stage. Incorporating subtle dark metal hardware, such as blackened bronze or muted iron on lighting fixtures and shelving, provides a sharp, graphic counterpoint to the soft watercolor edges.

Color combinations

The motif itself combines earthy sienna brown, warm ochre gold, and layered violet purple against a solid off-white backdrop. For surrounding walls and trim, we recommend pulling from the lighter neutral background using crisp warm whites or pale ivory paint to maintain a cohesive, gallery-like feel. To echo the richer tones within the cityscape, deeper accents in charcoal, warm tobacco brown, or muted plum work well on upholstery, drapery, and decorative accents.
