Wallpaper - Empire Skyline

Created by artist Avery Tillmon, our Empire Skyline wallpaper captures an iconic city silhouette rendered with fine ink line work over a layered, newsprint-textured backdrop. The horizontal panorama features architectural landmarks like the Empire State Building rising above a dense urban skyline, accented by soft sand, warm yellow, and neutral charcoal tones. This panoramic mural wallpaper brings a nostalgic, mid-century graphic feel to an accent wall, printed PVC-free and made-to-measure for your specific room dimensions.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal horizon and fine architectural detail anchored along the lower third of the mural, we see this working well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room, home office, or study. Placing it behind a low-profile sofa or along a main desk wall allows the taller spires to rise naturally into the open visual space above. In rooms with ample natural light, the subtle newsprint textures and delicate pencil-and-ink linework remain clear and engaging from across the space.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with clean-lined furniture that echoes its mid-century modern and transitional character. Low-profile seating in warm charcoal, ivory, or camel keeps the skyline visible while maintaining a balanced visual weight in the room. Warm wood finishes, such as walnut or light ash, complement the sandy golden tones in the background, while simple black metal accents or streamlined task lamps reinforce the crisp ink drafting style of the buildings.

Color combinations

The wallpaper centers around a neutral palette of warm sand, aged paper tones, and soft yellow, anchored by charcoal and pencil gray in the architecture. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, warm linen, or pale stone work naturally to maintain a light, continuous ambiance. If you prefer more definition, deep charcoal or slate gray on surrounding trim or cabinetry can pick up the graphic ink details within the cityscape.
