Wallpaper - New Orleans Louisiana Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, our New Orleans Louisiana Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the iconic city profile through an expressive watercolor-inspired silhouette. Rich tones of dark mulberry, lavender, and warm ochre gold blend across the architectural skyline, anchored by dynamic splatters and ink washes against a clean white background. As part of our made-to-measure collection, this PVC-free wallpaper brings an artistic skyline motif to your space while offering a subtle physical texture in the paper.

In the room

In a living room, this skyline design makes an engaging accent wall behind a low sofa, where the crisp white negative space keeps the room feeling open while the rich pigment anchors the seating area. We also see this working especially well in a study or home office, placed directly behind a desk to provide a thoughtful, artistic backdrop that adds personality without overwhelming the workspace.

Because the architectural detail and watercolor washes sit horizontally across the centre of the composition, the design benefits from a relatively wide, uninterrupted wall area. This allows the full New Orleans silhouette to stretch out completely, giving proper breathing room to both the skyline contours and the lighter, scattered ink drops below.

Styling it

To complement the expressive nature of the design, we recommend pairing this wall mural with furniture that has clean, contemporary lines. Low-profile seating and streamlined desks prevent visual clutter from competing with the detailed architectural skyline.

When selecting finishes, deep bronze or dark metal accents echo the deeper mulberry ink tones, while warm brass or honey-toned wood elements naturally reflect the golden ochre washes. Keeping larger rugs and main upholstery in neutral, textured weaves allows the vibrant purple and gold watercolor effects to stand out as the primary visual focus of the interior.

Colour combinations

The motif itself is defined by a palette of rich mulberry, softened violet, earthy gold, and crisp white.

When decorating the surrounding space, we suggest pulling directly from these core tones. Soft off-white or light parchment on adjacent walls keeps the atmosphere bright and allows the white background of the mural to blend harmoniously into the room. For a bolder, more enveloping interior scheme, pulling a deep plum or warm amber tone onto cabinetry, trim, or an accent chair creates a striking dialogue with the skyline artwork.
