Wallpaper - Zurich Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Zurich Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper mural presents an expressive silhouette of the Swiss city, rendered with a rich watercolor-style texture. Created by Michael Tompsett, this artwork balances architectural landmarks such as the Grossmünster twin towers with atmospheric splatters and paint drips across the lower horizon. The palette combines deep purple and plum with warm ochre, sienna, and golden amber, set against a crisp white backdrop. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our wallpapers are easy to hang and bring an artistic, graphic focus to any room.

In the room

Because the architecture forms a distinct horizontal band across the lower and middle sections with an open white sky above, this design works especially well on a feature wall in a living room or home office. Placing the mural wallpaper behind a low sofa, credenza, or desk allows the detailed skyline and delicate watercolor splatters to remain fully visible without feeling crowded.

In rooms with standard or lower ceilings, the generous open space above the skyline helps keep the wall feeling light and uncluttered. For a wider living space, we like giving this wall mural an uninterrupted expanse so the full panorama of the city can unfold naturally from end to end.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with furniture that has clean, contemporary lines to balance the fluid, painterly edges of the artwork. Low-profile seating or tailored wooden cabinetry in walnut or deep stained oak anchors the lower edge of the skyline nicely, grounding the deeper purple and sienna tones.

To keep the visual focus on the skyline, surrounding decorative accents are best kept relatively simple. Matte black metal hardware, subtle bronze lighting fixtures, or understated ceramic pieces echo the architectural rhythm of the city without competing with the dynamic watercolor technique.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a contrasting blend of deep aubergine, dusty purple, sienna brown, and warm golden ochre set against clean white.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, trim, or nearby furnishings, soft warm whites or pale neutral greys create a seamless transition that complements the open background. For a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out the deep plum or earthy sienna for painted woodwork, upholstery, or accent cushions creates a strong, cohesive connection to the skyline motif.
