We are honored to share that our INK BLOTS wallcovering has received the yellow light bulb — Best of the Best distinction at interiordesignmag’s 2025 Best of Year Awards. This prestigious recognition celebrates the most influential designs of the past 20 years, making the honor especially meaningful as it coincides with Porter Teleo’s own 20th anniversary year.

INK BLOTS was developed in 2006 and introduced to the market in 2007, at a moment when nothing comparable existed. Its monumental scale, 36 inches wide by 15 feet high, represented a significant departure from the prevailing conventions designers were working within, introducing a new sense of drama and spatial dynamism.

At the time, most wallcoverings were produced as repeating, all-over patterns; mural-scale designs were uncommon, in part because digital printing had yet to achieve the resolution required for refined results.

INK BLOTS was (and remains) entirely hand-painted and blotted, ensuring that each mark is distinct and irreproducible. This inherent variation allowed designers to create spaces with remarkable presence and visual impact, where the wall itself became a living composition.

As a newly launched, two-year-old studio, Porter Teleo was driven by a desire to be innovative and boundary-pushing, and INK BLOTS embodied that ambition. While the design has since inspired imitations, nothing rivals the authenticity of the original: expansive, hand-made ink blots created through a truly artisanal process. 

Moments like this are a welcome reminder of the simple truth of this industry; put something beautiful into the world, and you will receive beauty back.

Thank you to Interior Design Magazine, thecindygram, the jury, and all who voted. Congratulations to all the other winners and honorees. We look forward to seeing what beautiful things the future has in store for all of us!

Sincerely,
Kelly Porter and Bridgett Cochran 
Co-Founders | Porter Teleo
