Wallpaper - Greetings from Harrisonburg - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Harrisonburg wall mural captures the classic mid-century screenprint postcard aesthetic, originally designed by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, graphic lettering spells out the greeting across the centre, with each letterform holding detailed scenic views of local landmarks, architecture, and greenery. The composition is framed by warm red cursive script at the top and light blue lettering below, set against a gentle gradient background transitioning through soft blue, yellow, pink, and orange. Printed to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle physical texture in the paper that complements the vintage print character.

In the room

Because this design functions as a large-scale graphic artwork, we see it working particularly well as an accent wall in an entryway, hallway, or study. Placing the mural on a central, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the postcard composition and lettering to remain clearly visible without being divided awkwardly by doors or high wardrobes.

In a home office or living space, positioning the mural behind a low desk or a simple sofa keeps the lower illustrated letters in clear view. The balance of soft background pastels and strong typographic lines means it adds visual interest and character to a room without needing additional wall art around it.

Styling it

To let the graphic typography take centre stage, we recommend keeping nearby furniture relatively understated. Mid-century modern sideboards, clean retro silhouettes, or vintage-inspired Americana decor pair naturally with the 1940s screenprint style.

When choosing surrounding materials, warm wood tones like teak or medium oak echo the warmth in the lettering, while matte painted furniture helps balance the bold focal point. Avoid heavily patterned rugs or busy wall accessories on adjacent surfaces, allowing the mural wallpapers to define the character of the space.

Colour combinations

The design incorporates a distinct palette of powder blue, soft sunny yellow, warm red, muted pink, and orange tones. When painting adjacent walls, woodwork, or door frames, a soft off-white or a gentle, chalky powder blue drawn from the background gradient creates a balanced, harmonious transition.

If you prefer a richer contrast, picking up the warm terracotta-red from the cursive script for accent textiles, such as a cushion, a throw, or a single painted chair, helps anchor the room without overpowering the lighter pastel backdrop.
