Wallpaper - Greetings from Wisconsin - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Wisconsin wallpaper brings the graphic charm of vintage mid-century travel postcards directly to your interior. Designed by The Tichnor Brothers in a classic 1940s screenprint style, the mural features bold, angled typography filled with scenic vignettes, including grazing dairy cows, historic architecture, lighthouses, sailboats, and cheese ageing racks. The composition is anchored by a detailed view of the State Capitol in Madison alongside delicate purple wood violets, all set against a soft sky blue and warm sunset gradient. Produced to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers offer a striking retro character that enlivens any room.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal movement and prominent graphic lettering, we think this design works best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. It makes an engaging focal point in an entryway or hallway, where guests can appreciate the illustrative details inside each letter up close. It also sits naturally in a holiday home or a creative living space where vintage Americana and travel themes bring warmth and personality.

To give the postcard motif the visual breathing space it deserves, we would position larger pieces of furniture away from the centre of the wall or keep them low to the ground. A low credenza or hallway bench allows the bold typography and the architectural illustration of the Capitol building to remain completely visible.

Styling it

The screenprint aesthetic pairs naturally with retro and mid-century modern furniture. We like combining this design with warm timber pieces, such as teak or warm oak sideboards, which echo the nostalgic tones in the artwork.

When choosing surrounding decorative items, simple forms and matte textures help balance the detailed illustrated elements. Clean-lined ceramics and understated lighting prevent the room from feeling overly busy, letting the energetic postcard illustration serve as the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a varied palette grounded by soft sky blue, warm peach, golden yellow, and leafy greens, with vibrant accents of crimson and violet.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling out the softer tones from the background gradient, such as warm off-white, soft cream, or a gentle sky blue. If you prefer deeper contrast in the room, muted navy or deep forest green on trim or surrounding cabinetry provides a grounding frame that highlights the colourful vintage print.
