Wallpaper - Thun Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, this watercolor-style skyline wallpaper captures the historic silhouette of Thun, Switzerland, in a striking horizontal panoramic composition. The architectural profile is rendered in an artistic wash of deep mulberry purple, warm ochre gold, and earthy amber tones, grounded by dynamic paint splatters and dripping pigment beneath the rooftops and spires. Set against a crisp, clean white background, the sharp architectural contours contrast beautifully with the organic fluidity of the pigment. Our custom-printed wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture, making it straightforward to bring a refined urban tribute into your interior.

In the room

Because of its distinctive panoramic structure and generous negative space above the skyline, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room or a dedicated study. Positioned behind a low-profile sofa or running behind a desk, the horizontal band of architecture sits naturally at eye level while leaving the upper portion of the room open and airy. This horizontal balance makes it an excellent choice for rooms where you want the character of graphic art without visually crowding the upper wall. In a home office or study, the rich purple and ochre palette lends an artistic, cultured atmosphere to the workspace.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with furniture that respects its clean horizon and painterly richness. Low-slung seating and minimalist credenzas allow the full architectural skyline to remain visible without cutting off the historic spires or delicate paint splashes below. Warm wood furniture, such as natural walnut or honey-toned oak, echoes the golden ochre hues in the artwork, while accents in blackened steel or understated brass provide a subtle visual link to the rich dark tones of the buildings. Keeping surrounding upholstery in solid neutral fabrics ensures the wallpaper remains the clear focal point of the space.

Color combinations

The artwork features a rich interplay of deep mulberry purple, warm ochre gold, earthy amber, and clean off-white. When choosing paint and textiles for adjacent walls and furnishings, you can lean into the golden undertones with soft sand, camel, or muted wheat tones for a grounded, cohesive feel. If you prefer more contrast, pairing the mural wallpaper with soft off-white or light cool gray on adjoining walls keeps the room feeling bright while letting the saturated purple and amber silhouette stand out with maximum clarity.
