Wallpaper - Greetings from Gulfstream Park - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Gulfstream Park wallpaper captures the lively spirit of mid-century Florida horse racing in the graphic style of a vintage screenprint postcard. Drawn from the work of The Tichnor Brothers, this scenic design illustrates jockeys in bright silks galloping down the dirt track, framed by tall palm trees, a grandstand, and distant sailboats on calm blue water. The composition balances narrative motion with warm earth tones, lush foliage greens, and clear sky blues. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an expressive focal point with distinct retro character.

In the room

Because the motif contains a detailed panoramic scene with multiple narrative elements, we think it works best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full horizon and racecourse can unfold. In a living room or a dedicated home library, our wall murals bring a sense of history and vibrant character without overwhelming the entire space. The rich sky blue and warm track tones give the wall visual depth, making it an engaging backdrop behind lower-profile seating or across a main feature wall where doors and tall cabinetry will not break up the jockeys in motion.

Styling it

To balance the graphic detail and vintage palette of this design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and warm natural finishes. Mid-century modern wooden pieces, such as teak or warm walnut credenzas and tailored armchairs, complement the 1940s illustrative style naturally. Keeping large upholstery in neutral off-white, oat, or deep navy allows the dynamic colors of the track and silks to take center stage. Brass or muted bronze accents on lighting fixtures and cabinet hardware echo the vintage resort feel, while unpatterned rugs and simple drapery ensure the room feels curated rather than crowded.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features a balanced palette of sky blue, trackside ochre, terracotta browns, deep palm greens, and pops of jockey uniform colors. When planning the surrounding room, soft warm whites and muted sand tones work well on adjoining walls and baseboards, creating a gentle transition into the artwork. For accents, deep maritime blue or forest green drawn from the water and foliage provides grounded contrast on painted woodwork or accent chairs. If you prefer a richer setting, a muted ochre or warm clay tone on adjacent trims will highlight the sun-drenched atmosphere of the scene.
