Wallpaper - Big Ben Calling

Our Big Ben Calling wallpaper captures a classic London street scene, photographed by Jan Becke, featuring an iconic red telephone booth standing before the historic clock tower. The rich cherry red of the booth creates an instant focal point, beautifully grounded by the warm, earthy stone architecture of the surrounding heritage buildings and set beneath an open blue sky. With its architectural framing, ornate stonework details, and timeless composition, this photographic wall mural brings a distinct sense of British heritage to your space. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

In a living room, this mural wallpaper works exceptionally well on a main feature wall where the full vertical composition has space to unfold. We particularly like placing it behind a sofa or across a dedicated accent wall where the telephone booth and clock tower can serve as a natural focal point. For a home office or study, the design adds an engaging, classic perspective to the room, especially on a wall opposite a desk where the architectural details and clear sky bring a sense of depth and openness to the space.

Styling it

Because the design features a strong graphic element with the red telephone box alongside detailed stonework, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively understated to let the wall mural stand out. Clean-lined contemporary pieces or classic mid-century silhouettes in warm wood finishes create a balanced, grounded feel against the architectural imagery. Opting for tailored, neutral upholstery allows the vivid red and earthy stone tones of the wallpaper to hold the room's visual focus without competition.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centers around the vibrant cherry red of the phone box, balanced by the warm, earthy tones of historic London stonework and the crisp blue of the sky. Around the room, we recommend pairing this design with warm stone greys, soft muted off-whites, or deep charcoal on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you want to subtly echo the motif, introducing a single small accent in a matching rich red through a book stack, cushion, or ceramic piece ties the interior together nicely.
