Wallpaper - Greetings from Nebraska Map - Screenprint Postcard

Captured with mid-century charm, this vintage postcard map wallpaper brings the character of Nebraska to life through screenprint-inspired illustrations and classic typography. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features a bold yellow banner arched above detailed landmarks, wildlife, and agricultural heritage. From the Western Meadowlark and blooming Goldenrod in the foreground to grazing cattle, grain sheaves, and regional towns, every corner offers visual interest. The warm sunshine yellow backdrop and nostalgic palette create a graphic, inviting presence. Produced to order as custom wall murals, our wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle texture in the paper.

In the room

Because of the rich narrative detail across the map, we see this design working best on an open, uninterrupted wall where the full composition can be appreciated. It is an engaging choice for a home study, library, or a creative teenage room where the illustrated vignettes bring personality and vintage Americana charm.

The horizontal layout and distinct borders give the mural wallpaper clear structure. In a study or home library, placing it behind a writing desk or reading area allows the playful illustrations and historic landmarks to serve as an inspiring backdrop. Because the artwork has so much storytelling detail, giving it ample breathing room keeps the space balanced.

Styling it

To complement the graphic quality of the screenprint style, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with mid-century modern furniture or relaxed, heritage-inspired pieces. Clean-lined furnishings in warm timber, such as teak, walnut, or warm oak, sit naturally alongside the vintage aesthetic.

Keep surrounding decorative elements relatively calm so the wall remains the primary focal point. Simple painted shelving, classic brass or bronze desk lamps, and matte black hardware provide grounded accents without competing with the detailed map graphics.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a warm palette anchored by sunshine yellow, rich golden ochre, vibrant sky blue, and earthy greens and browns. The deep tones of the lettering and linework create a crisp contrast against the sunny backdrop.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in joinery, we recommend drawing directly from these tones. A muted parchment or warm cream creates a cohesive transition on adjacent walls. For a richer, more defined setting, a deep navy blue, warm olive green, or golden tan on trims and doors beautifully frames the artwork.
