City skyline metal wall art

A skyline is one of the few designs that means something different to everyone who owns it. For one person it is home. For another it is the city where they met, studied, or started a first job. That is what makes a skyline such a personal gift.

Each skyline is drawn so the buildings people know at a glance stay recognisable, even at small sizes. Along with full skylines there are single landmarks, such as bridges, towers and observatories, for a smaller wall or a shelf.

Long, horizontal skylines are made for long walls. Above a sofa, a bed or a desk, they fill the width without towering over the room. If you are unsure about the size, our guide to sizing wall art above a sofa has a simple rule of thumb.

Black is the classic look and reads like a night skyline against a light wall. Silver suits a modern, industrial space; gold and bronze warm up a darker one. Don’t see your city? Write to us and tell us which one you would like to see next.
