Wallpaper - The Spotting Scope

Designed by Kathy Ferguson, The Spotting Scope brings together a rhythmic grid of painted squares, each framing a circular vignette filled with botanical silhouettes, layered stripes, and soft circular forms. What we particularly like about this wallpaper is how the geometric structure balances organic, fluid details, creating a calm yet engaging visual rhythm across the surface. Tones of deep ocean blue, seafoam green, soft lilac, muted mustard, and blush pink interact across the tiled composition. Produced as a made-to-measure mural wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinct, art-led presence on the wall.

In the room

Because of its structured grid layout and layered palette, this design works especially well as a feature wall in a living room, dining space, or a creative home office. The circular "scopes" create points of visual interest across the entire expanse, making it rewarding on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full geometric composition can unfold. In a bedroom, placing it behind a bedhead allows the cooler blues and greens to establish a grounded, settled atmosphere, while the smaller bursts of ochre and pink introduce gentle warmth. In rooms with generous natural daylight, the subtle tonal variations and painterly textures within each circle become particularly clear and nuanced.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we suggest balancing its graphic presence with quieter, grounded interior elements:

• Keep larger furniture pieces relatively simple in form, choosing clean lines and solid upholstery so the wallpaper carries the primary pattern in the room.
• Introduce furniture in mid-toned or natural woods, which harmonise effortlessly with the organic leafy motifs and earthy mustard tones in the print.
• Accent with soft textiles in solid colours drawn from the motif, such as washed linen cushions in soft sage or pale lilac, to tie the space together without adding competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a sophisticated palette combining deep teal, navy, and sky blue alongside sage green, pale lavender, muted yellow, and dusty pink. When planning surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend pairing this mural with soft off-whites or pale grey-green neutrals to keep the overall atmosphere airy and cohesive. For a richer, more enveloping feel in a dining room or study, drawing out the deep teal or muted slate blue onto adjacent walls or architectural trim creates a striking, unified backdrop.
