Wallpaper - Greetings from the Lake - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Lake wallpaper brings a vintage postcard aesthetic to the wall, featuring artwork by The Tichnor Brothers. The composition captures a stately lakeside home beneath a deep night sky, defined by glowing windows, white architectural columns, and a bold red roof reflected in calm waters. Rendered with the graphic, layered character of a classic 1930s screenprint, dark silhouette trees frame the scene to create balanced depth and contrast. Like all Wallism wall murals, this design is made-to-measure according to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal water line and atmospheric dark palette, we see this design working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the reflection and architectural silhouette have space to breathe. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low sofa keeps the upper sky and house visible while anchoring the seating area. It also feels right at home in a dedicated library or reading room, where the heritage print style naturally complements quiet, contemplative spaces. For a hallway or staircase with decent ceiling height, the tall trees and nocturnal mood offer a striking visual welcome without overwhelming everyday circulation areas.

Styling it

The distinct vintage screenprint look pairs effortlessly with traditional, mid-century, or eclectic interiors. To keep the visual focus on the artwork, we suggest balancing the deep tones with warm, understated furniture.

• Deep wood finishes, such as walnut or dark-stained oak, sit naturally alongside the architectural details of the home in the print.
• Tailored upholstered seating in muted linen or soft velvet helps balance the graphic sharpness of the screenprint lines.
• Low-level accent lighting or warm table lamps will enhance the glowing feel of the illustrated windows without washing out the dark navy sky.

Colour combinations

The motif is built around deep navy blue, solid black silhouettes, crisp white architectural accents, and warm red tones along the roofline and illuminated windows. Around the wallpaper, we suggest continuing the palette with muted navy or deep charcoal on adjacent walls for a cohesive, enveloping feel. If you prefer higher contrast, soft off-white or warm parchment on surrounding trim will pick up the columns and window frames without looking stark. For accent textiles or decor, understated rust red or muted amber works nicely to draw out the warm light radiating from the house.
