Wallpaper - Greetings from the City - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the City - Screenprint Postcard wallpaper captures a detailed aerial perspective of a vibrant mid-century cityscape, originally created by The Tichnor Brothers. The design combines dense architectural blocks in sandy beige, terracotta red, and slate blue, framed by lush green canopies and a prominent white central tower. Below, railway lines run parallel to the riverbank as an arched bridge crosses deep blue water. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle structure in the paper, this design brings retro illustrative charm and graphic energy into your interior.

In the room

In a home study or library, this mural wallpaper serves as an engaging backdrop that invites closer viewing. The intricate scale of the buildings, streets, and shoreline gives the eye plenty to explore, making it particularly effective on an uninterrupted feature wall behind a desk or reading nook. Because the composition has a strong diagonal flow from the riverbank up into the densely built city, it creates a sense of depth and structured movement across the room. We also see this working exceptionally well in a living room where the rich mid-century print character can define a focused sitting area.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with mid-century or retro-inspired furniture that echoes the 1950s print aesthetic. Warm wood finishes, such as teak or medium oak, harmonise naturally with the sandy ground and terracotta accents in the architecture. To keep the focus on the detailed urban motif, select clean-lined upholstery in understated neutral tones or deep navy. Incorporating matte black metal hardware or brass lighting fixtures will complement the graphic linework and structured geometry of the bridge and buildings.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a dynamic palette built around sandy yellow, terracotta red, slate blue, forest green, and crisp white architectural highlights, set against a deep blue river. When decorating around this design, adjacent walls in soft parchment or warm sand help extend the background tone of the print. Alternatively, bringing in deep petrol blue or olive green on surrounding woodwork or soft furnishings anchors the richer tones within the cityscape, creating a cohesive and inviting space.
