Wallpaper - Big Ben Calling

Our Big Ben Calling wallpaper captures a classic London view, photographed by Jan Becke. The iconic cherry red telephone booth sits front and centre, framed by the warm, earthy stone of historic Westminster architecture and the famous clock tower rising against a clear blue sky. With fine architectural detailing in the stonework, illuminated clock face, and leafy trees in the background, this photographic mural wallpaper creates an immediate sense of place. Our wallpapers are made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of the strong vertical orientation of the clock tower and the rich red of the telephone box, we see this wall mural working especially well on a main feature wall in a living room, home office, or study. In a living room, placing the design on a wall behind a sofa or opposite the main seating area gives the architectural perspective room to be appreciated without feeling crowded. In a study or home office, the photographic depth adds visual interest across a wider wall behind your desk, giving the workspace a thoughtful, travel-inspired backdrop.

Styling it

The vivid red and detailed stone photography give this mural plenty of presence, so we recommend keeping surrounding elements relatively grounded.

• Pair the wallpaper with tailored furniture in dark or painted wood, which complements the classic architectural character of the London scene.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in textured neutrals like stone, oat, or charcoal to let the red telephone box stand out as the primary focal point.
• Add small accents in warm metal, such as antique brass or muted bronze lamps and hardware, echoing the historic feel of the Westminster stonework.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on bold cherry red, earthy architectural stone tones, deep slate greys, and open sky blue. For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend quiet, earthy neutrals such as warm stone grey, soft taupe, or chalky off-white. These gentle shades allow the striking red and architectural details to anchor the room naturally. If you want a more dramatic scheme, deep charcoal or muted navy on nearby trims or joinery creates a handsome, sophisticated frame around the mural.
