Wallpaper - Thun Switzerland Skyline Concrete

Created by Michael Tompsett, this city skyline wallpaper captures the historic silhouette of Thun, Switzerland, in bold black against a warm, pebble-gray concrete visual backdrop. We particularly like how the architectural profiles of castles, spires, and bridges sit anchored across the middle of the composition, balanced by expressive paint splatters and dripping ink effects underneath. The concrete-style background adds a subtle weathered visual texture, giving the artwork a modern, artistic character. Made-to-measure and PVC-free, our wallpapers are easy to hang and feature a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

In a living room, we see this working exceptionally well on a wide main wall behind a low sofa, where the horizontal skyline can stretch out without being broken up by tall furniture. The generous open space above the silhouette leaves plenty of visual breathing room, so the room maintains an open, uncluttered atmosphere even on larger wall areas. In a home office or study, positioning the mural wallpaper behind a desk creates a focused, graphic backdrop that grounds the space without feeling chaotic or overly busy.

Styling it

Because the skyline forms a strong graphic line across the wall, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture low-profile to preserve the skyline's continuous silhouette. Mid-century modern or contemporary furniture with clean lines works naturally alongside the crisp architectural shapes. For materials, matte black metal accents echo the deep charcoal and black tones of the skyline, while warm wood pieces such as walnut or natural oak soften the stark contrast and complement the earthy, concrete-toned background.

Color combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centers on deep black ink tones set against a neutral, pebble-gray and off-white background with subtle beige warmth. To build around it, we suggest pairing adjacent walls in soft off-white, light warm gray, or muted greige to let the mural remain the focal point. For a richer, moodier interior, deep charcoal trim or dark slate cabinetry creates a bold, cohesive dialogue with the silhouette.
