Wallpaper - Greetings from Washington - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Washington wallpaper captures the classic charm of mid-century Americana, inspired by the iconic large-letter screenprint postcards created by The Tichnor Brothers in the 1940s. Each dimensional letter frames a detailed vignette of famous capital landmarks, including the Capitol Building and the Washington Monument, set against a radiant sunburst of sky blue, warm yellow, and energetic orange. Printed as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings a vibrant, nostalgic focal point to your interior while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the graphic lettering and horizontal composition, we see this wall mural working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, it naturally anchors the space behind a sofa or along a main entertaining wall where the full phrase and architectural vignettes have room to be enjoyed without visual interruption. The design also feels right at home in a vacation home or a dedicated lounge, where its vintage travel character adds a welcoming, relaxed mood. If your room receives plenty of natural daylight, the crisp sky blue and warm yellow tones feel particularly lively and clear.

Styling it

To let the detailed vintage illustration take center stage, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture that has clean, uncomplicated lines. Mid-century modern silhouettes or classic tailored pieces work naturally alongside the 1940s graphic aesthetic without competing for attention.

Warm wood tones such as teak, walnut, or honey oak complement the golden-yellow rays in the print, grounding the bright palette. For surrounding upholstery and accents, choose solid textures rather than busy patterns to keep the focus squarely on the mural.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper balances an open sky blue with energetic pops of orange, ochre yellow, and cream. When painting adjacent walls or woodwork, a soft warm white or muted cream provides a crisp, balanced backdrop that lets the print pop. For a cozier or more grounded atmosphere, you can pull the deep navy or forest green from the letter shading into your cushions, throws, or accent cabinetry.
