Wallpaper - Greetings from the Lake - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Lake wallpaper brings a distinct vintage screenprint postcard aesthetic into the home, capturing a stately lakeside house resting under a quiet night sky. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the artwork pairs classic architectural forms with tranquil waters and tall, shadowed trees. The crisp white columns and entrance stand out against the deep navy palette, while warm light glows from the windows and mirrors across the lake surface below. Printed custom made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an atmospheric blend of heritage printmaking and nocturnal landscape.

In the room

We especially like this mural wallpaper on a feature wall where the reflection across the water can be seen in full. In a living room, placing the design behind a sofa or low sideboard allows the vertical silhouette of the house and trees to anchor the space without being broken up by tall furniture. The rich, dark palette also suits a home library or reading room, where the deep navy tones create an intimate, enclosed atmosphere. For a hallway or staircase, the horizontal expanse of the lake reflection adds a sense of depth and calm visual rhythm as you move past.

Styling it

Because this design has a clear 1930s screenprint character and rich night-time tones, we suggest balancing it with tailored, understated furnishings that let the artwork take centre stage.

Darker wood furniture, such as walnut or deep stained oak, complements the shadowy forest tones and heritage feel of the illustration. To echo the warm glow from the windows, integrate soft point-source lighting through table lamps with warm-toned parchment or fabric shades rather than harsh overhead lights. Simple upholstery in muted off-white or charcoal wool provides a clean, tactile contrast against the detailed print.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on deep navy blue, midnight tones, crisp architectural white, and the warm yellow glow of lit windows balanced by the terracotta red of the roof.

To create a cohesive room scheme, we recommend taking cues from the architectural white for adjacent trim and woodwork, which creates a crisp frame around the mural. Surrounding walls work well painted in a deep navy for an enveloping, dramatic feel, or a soft, warm neutral that reflects the gentle light within the windows. Accents in muted rust, ochre, or burnt red subtly mirror the roofline without overwhelming the calm blue tones of the landscape.
