Wallpaper - New Phone, who dis?

Our New Phone, who dis? wallpaper brings a quintessential London evening scene directly into your interior. Captured by Jan Becke, the composition centres on an iconic cherry red British telephone box standing on a classic paved street, framed by historic stone architecture. In the background, a majestic clock tower rises into a deep blue dusk sky, its illuminated face glowing alongside warm streetlights and dynamic light trails from passing traffic. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this atmospheric design adds depth and nostalgic character to any accent wall.

In the room

Because this design functions visually as an architectural window onto an evening cityscape, we like it best on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full vertical height of the clock tower and the perspective of the paved street can be seen together. In a living room, placing this wall mural behind a low-backed sofa allows the striking red phone box and glowing architectural details to remain fully visible.

The moody twilight palette also makes it a compelling choice for a home study or library. In spaces dedicated to reading or quiet work, the contrast between the dark blue sky, warm streetlamps, and stone facades establishes a grounded, tranquil atmosphere. To get the most from the detailed architecture and subtle vehicle light trails, we suggest keeping tall storage units on neighbouring walls rather than covering parts of the scenic composition.

Styling it

The rich cherry red and deep evening blues give this mural wallpaper a strong visual anchor, so we recommend balancing it with understated furniture and intentional material choices:

• Balance the strong red accent with dark or painted furniture in charcoal, navy, or deep espresso tones to let the telephone box stand out as the primary focal element.
• Complement the historic stone architecture in the scene with classic upholstery in woven textures or smooth leather to enhance the heritage feel of the room.
• Use warm, low-level lamps rather than harsh overhead lighting to mirror the soft amber glow of the streetlights and illuminated clock face within the print.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a vivid cherry red set against deep navy blue, stone grey, and glowing amber gold. When decorating around this wallpaper, pulling out the deep blue tones on adjacent walls or painted joinery creates a cosy, cohesive wrap of colour. For a crisper contrast, soft stone greys or warm off-whites work beautifully, echoing the historic masonry in the photograph without competing with the bold red phone box.
