Wallpaper - Jin Mao Tower

Our Jin Mao Tower wallpaper captures Shanghai's skyline as the sun sets over the Huangpu River, photographed by Jan Becke. The architectural composition centers on the tiered spire of the Jin Mao Tower rising alongside surrounding modern skyscrapers, with the spherical silhouette of the Oriental Pearl Tower resting in the distant haze. A balanced palette of smoke gray, neutral tones, and warm sunset light across the horizon gives the cityscape depth and clarity. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, our wall murals bring a bold architectural perspective directly into the home.

In the room

This photographic cityscape works exceptionally well in an open living room where a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full breadth of the skyline to unfold. Because the composition features towering vertical lines alongside the expansive horizontal sweep of the river and city haze, giving the mural wallpaper a dedicated feature wall lets the architectural scale breathe. Positioning the wallpaper along the main wall behind a sofa or across from an open entryway creates a clear focal point without overwhelming everyday living areas. In rooms with ample natural daylight, the neutral gray building facades remain crisp, while the warmer sunset glow across the sky comes forward during evening hours under ambient room lighting.

Styling it

Because this skyline contains intricate architectural detail and strong vertical lines, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean and grounded. Low-profile sofas and credenzas with simple horizontal lines work best, as they allow the verticality of the skyscrapers to remain visible above the furniture line.

To complement the contemporary mood of the photography, we suggest incorporating sleek materials such as matte black metal hardware, tinted glass, or smooth dark stone. Limiting busy decorative patterns on surrounding upholstery lets the wallpaper serve as the central visual statement in the room.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is defined by cool smoke gray facades, soft atmospheric neutrals, and a warm golden glow across the evening horizon. To build a cohesive environment around the mural, we suggest pulling directly from these tones:

• Deep charcoal or off-black on adjacent window frames or low shelving to echo the sharp structural outlines of the buildings.
• Soft neutral grays or muted warm whites on adjoining walls to extend the open sky without creating harsh contrast.
• Subtle amber, ochre, or warm camel accents in throws or accent cushions to pick up the gentle sunset lighting without clashing with the cooler cityscape.
