Wallpaper - Cedar Falls Iowa Skyline Concrete

Designed by Michael Tompsett, our Cedar Falls skyline wallpaper presents the Iowa city's architectural profile in a bold, graphic silhouette. Set against a weathered, concrete-look background with pebble-gray and neutral plaster tones, the cityscape emerges from deep charcoal and black paint drips, splatters, and textured brushwork along the lower horizon. The distinctive landmarks of Cedar Falls form a clean horizontal focal line that adds an urban, artistic edge to any interior. Printed custom to your dimensions, our mural wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle physical paper structure.

In the room

Because the skyline sits across the lower-to-middle portion of the composition with open, concrete-textured space above, we especially like this design on a wider feature wall in a living room, home office, or dedicated study. In a home office, placing the skyline behind a desk or low credenza grounds the work area while keeping the upper visual field open and airy. For a living room, positioning the mural behind a low-profile sofa lets the full silhouette and expressive paint drips remain visible across the room.

Styling it

We recommend leaning into a contemporary or industrial-inspired interior that complements the graphic quality of the motif. Low-slung furniture with clean, architectural lines keeps the horizontal band of the skyline uncluttered.

Matte black metal accents in lighting or shelving echo the sharp silhouette of the buildings, while warm, unvarnished wood surfaces help soften the cool, concrete-inspired backdrop. Keeping decorative wall art off this surface ensures the mural acts as the primary focal point.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself is defined by a monochrome and neutral palette of charcoal black, soft pebble gray, and warm plaster stone tones.

To build a cohesive room around it, we suggest pairing the design with off-white or light greige on adjacent walls to match the lighter areas of the textured background. Deep charcoal or slate gray accents on woodwork, window frames, or large furniture pieces will tie directly into the dark skyline. For a touch of warmth, bring in subtle earthy accents like clay, muted olive, or rich cognac leather.
