Wallpaper - Greetings from Arkansas - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Arkansas wallpaper brings a mid-twentieth-century Americana feel to the wall, inspired by vintage large-letter screenprint postcards by The Tichnor Brothers. Bold lettering spells out the state name across the centre, with each character framing detailed regional vignettes including historic architecture, natural scenery, bridges, and the Arkansas State Capitol. Dynamic diagonal stripes in coral, orange, and blue create an energetic backdrop, balanced by the delicate detail of an apple blossom. As with all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal typography and graphic background, this wallpaper works best when given a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full composition can be seen at once. In a living room or a dedicated study, placing it behind a main sofa or a low desk lets the artwork act as a lively focal point without being obstructed. We also see this design working naturally in an entryway or a vacation home living space, where the postcard theme brings an immediate sense of character and narrative to the arrival area.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic quality of the screenprint style, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with relatively simple furniture silhouettes. Mid-century-inspired pieces, such as a low credenza in warm wood or clean-lined seating, complement the 1940s vintage aesthetic without competing for attention.

• Choose furniture with clean, unadorned lines so the intricate postcard lettering remains the primary visual interest in the space.
• Introduce warm wood finishes, such as teak or warm oak, to ground the bright coral and blue tones in the backdrop.
• Keep nearby fabrics and upholstery in quiet, solid textures rather than competing patterns, allowing the mural wallpapers to lead the room.

Colour combinations

The design features a vibrant palette built around rich coral, vivid orange, and crisp blue stripes, alongside natural greens and warm stone tones within the letter illustrations. To create a balanced interior, we suggest pulling the warm cream or pale off-white tones from the lettering background onto adjacent walls. For a richer, more intentional contrast, deep navy or slate blue on painted trim or cabinetry echoes the cooler stripes in the print, while accents in warm terracotta or ochre draw out the vintage warmth of the primary lettering.
