Wallpaper - Greetings from Omaha - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Omaha wallpaper brings the expressive character of classic mid-century linen postcards to the wall. Created from original artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold, block-letter typography spelling out "OMAHA" across a radiant sky blue and sunshine yellow gradient. Each three-dimensional letter contains a distinct vignette of the city, including Walnut Hill Reservoir, historic streetscapes with vintage automobiles, an early transport airplane, and Art Deco architecture. The screenprint-inspired texture and warm 1940s palette give the mural wallpaper an unmistakable retro charm. Like all our wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its large-scale graphic composition, we see this wall mural working best as a dedicated focal point on a wide, uninterrupted wall. In a spacious living room or home library, placing the design behind a low sofa or credenza allows the full lettering and horizontal panorama to remain visible. The energetic color palette and bold typography make it an engaging conversation piece in social spaces, while its distinct vintage travel theme suits creative work corners and reading areas. Giving the wallpaper ample breathing room lets the rich details within each letter stand out without competing with surrounding architectural features.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this vibrant wallpaper with mid-century modern furniture, warm woods such as walnut or teak, and clean-lined silhouettes that echo its 1940s graphic roots. To keep the focus on the artwork, keep surrounding textiles and furnishings relatively understated in neutral or earthy tones. A tailored leather armchair or a simple low-profile sideboard in warm timber will ground the bold yellow and blue palette, while matte black metal accents or understated ceramic lamps can complement the retro print style without cluttering the visual field.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a vibrant sunshine yellow base transitioning into rich cornflower blue, accented by deep orange-red shading on the block letters and soft architectural tones inside the vignettes. To create a balanced interior, we suggest pulling colors directly from the design for surrounding accents, such as deep terracotta cushions, ochre throws, or warm off-white walls on adjacent surfaces. For a calmer backdrop that lets the mural pop, soft warm grays or creamy whites work well on adjacent trim and ceilings, while deep navy accents can echo the cooler blue tones in the sky.
