Wallpaper - Greetings from Minnesota - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Minnesota wallpaper brings mid-century American travel nostalgia straight onto the wall. Created by The Tichnor Brothers in a classic 1940s large-letter screenprint style, the design spells out Minnesota with distinct local landmarks inside each character, including the State Capitol, scenic bridges, a lighthouse, and a commemorative statue. Soft botanical detail comes through the state flower, the showy lady's slipper or moccasin flower, set against a lively backdrop of pastel horizontal stripes in sunshine yellow, orange, green, and blue. Printed to your exact dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers deliver authentic retro character while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the bold typography and graphic postcard format create an immediate focal point, we like this design best on an accent wall where the full lettering can spread out uninterrupted. An entryway or hallway makes a wonderful setting, setting a friendly, nostalgic tone the moment someone walks through the door. It also works naturally in a holiday home, a family games room, or a dedicated creative space where graphic storytelling and vintage charm feel right at home. In compact spaces, the horizontal stripes help guide the eye across the wall, making the layout feel open and dynamic rather than crowded.

Styling it

The distinct 1940s Americana aesthetic pairs naturally with mid-century or retro-inspired interiors. We would balance the energetic graphic text by choosing clean-lined furniture and relatively quiet surrounding elements.

Simple warm wood furniture, such as teak or honey-toned timber, complements the warm yellow and orange tones of the print without competing with the illustration. Keep decorative wall accessories on neighbouring walls to a minimum to allow the postcard composition to stand on its own as the room's main visual anchor.

Colour combinations

The palette centres on bright sunshine yellow alongside soft shades of orange, sky blue, and fresh green across the striped background. Inside the lettering, varied illustrative tones bring subtle contrast to the overall layout.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling out a soft, warm off-white or a very light cream to keep the room bright and balanced. If you prefer a richer accent elsewhere in the room, picking up on the sky blue or gentle olive green in soft furnishings or painted doors creates a cohesive, considered feel.
