Wallpaper - Columbia Sunset - Screenprint Postcard

Our Columbia Sunset wallpaper captures the rich character of a vintage screenprint postcard, created by The Tichnor Brothers. The scene presents a calm lake beneath an expressive dusk sky where fiery orange, deep red, and soft yellow transition into fading purples and cool slate blues. Dark silhouettes of pine trees frame the foreground against forested mountains along the horizon, while the still water mirrors the sky above. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to hang while bringing a historic landscape perspective to your walls.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or home office where the scenic depth can unfold across a wider expanse. Because the composition balances darker tree silhouettes at the bottom with a luminous sky above, placing it behind a low-backed sofa or a bed frame allows the dramatic horizon and mountain layers to remain fully visible. In a quiet study or guest room, the rich contrast between the warm glow and the cooler blues adds visual depth without overwhelming the space. Rooms with good natural daylight help bring out the subtle transitions between the purple, blue, and golden tones across the water and sky.

Styling it

When styling our mural wallpapers featuring strong pictorial motifs, we prefer letting the landscape serve as the focal point of the interior.

• Complement the rustic, turn-of-the-century heritage feel with warm wood furniture, such as stained pine, mid-toned oak, or vintage timber pieces that echo the forest tones in the print.
• Balance the vibrant sky by choosing understated upholstery and textiles in muted neutrals, unbleached cotton, or deep slate blue.
• Introduce dark iron or matte bronze hardware and lighting fixtures to subtly pick up on the graphic pine silhouettes.

Colour combinations

The palette of this wallpaper combines intense warm tones of fiery orange, brick red, and sunset yellow with cooler slate blue, deep forest tones, and dusky purples. To build a balanced palette around the design, pair adjacent walls with soft neutral tones drawn from the sky, such as warm off-white, muted beige, or pale slate. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping interior, deeper navy or forest hues pulled from the shadowed mountains work beautifully on surrounding trim, cabinetry, or painted doors.
