Wallpaper - London Calling II

Our London Calling wallpaper brings together classic city architecture with a painterly, atmospheric evening mood. Designed by Jan Becke, the motif features an iconic red British telephone box standing along a stone-paved street, framed by ornate historic facades, glowing street lamps, and a clock tower set against soft pink and twilight tones. The painterly style softens the architectural lines, while the bold red accent creates a natural focal anchor within the composition. Made to measure and completely PVC-free, our wallpaper is printed on paper with a subtle surface texture that gives depth to the rich brushwork.

In the room

In a living room or study, we like placing this design on a main feature wall where the perspective of the street has space to open up the room. The contrast between the illuminated street lamps and the evening sky gives the mural a warm, inviting presence behind a sofa or along a dedicated library wall. For a home office or hallway, the vertical lines of the clock tower and streetlights draw the eye upward, making it an effective choice for rooms with standard ceiling heights. Because the red telephone box provides a clear visual anchor, we recommend keeping the wall relatively clear of tall bookcases or high-backed furniture so the central storytelling element remains visible.

Styling it

We recommend balancing the rich architectural detail of the wallpaper with clean-lined furniture and warm, natural finishes. Dark wood or mid-tone walnut pieces pair naturally with the heritage character of the buildings, while streamlined silhouettes prevent the room from feeling overly ornate. Upholstery in soft neutrals, muted charcoal, or warm grey allows the vivid red in the mural to stand out as the primary statement in the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centers around the vibrant poppy red of the telephone box, balanced by soft dusky pinks, warm golds from the street lamps, and cool architectural stone greys in the evening light. For adjacent walls and trim, muted off-whites, warm greys, or dusty taupes work well to let the mural lead the palette. If you want to carry the warmer tones into the room, subtle accents in terracotta, blush, or muted crimson tie directly back to the sky and focal details.
