Wallpaper - Greetings from North Carolina - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from North Carolina wallpaper brings the graphic charm of a mid-century travel postcard onto a larger architectural scale. Created from an original 1940s design by The Tichnor Brothers, the motif features bold, dimensional lettering filled with regional landscapes and architectural landmarks. A warm orange and sky blue gradient runs across the backdrop, anchored by detailed corner vignettes showing the State Capitol dome in Raleigh alongside goldenrod blossoms. As with all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this is a graphic mural wallpaper with strong central lettering and detailed scenic insets, we see it working particularly well as an accent wall in an entryway, hallway, or living area. A wider, uninterrupted wall gives the full vintage postcard composition room to breathe without being broken up by doorways or tall shelving. In an entrance hall or front room, the balanced contrast between the sky blue and warm orange tones creates an inviting, characterful focal point right as you step inside.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork and retro typography take centre stage, we would pair this design with simple, grounded interior elements. Mid-century furniture with clean lines and warm wood finishes, such as teak or walnut, complements the 1940s character without competing with the illustration. Keep large surrounding pieces relatively understated, and let low console tables or open benches sit along the wall so the lower vignettes remain visible.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper centres on sky blue and warm orange, balanced by golden yellow accents and vintage architectural tones. On adjacent walls, soft off-white, light warm grey, or a muted sky blue pick up on the background tones without overwhelming the space. For painted woodwork, trims, or accent furniture, deeper navy blue or terracotta shades can echo the rich contrasts found inside the postcard lettering.
