Wallpaper - Greetings from Chattanooga - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Chattanooga wallpaper reimagines the classic American mid-century large-letter postcard into an expansive visual statement. Created by The Tichnor Brothers in the 1940s, this screenprint-style design features the bold greeting text where each block letter frames scenic landscape vistas, historic architecture, and local bridges. The strong red, black, and orange typography is set against a graded backdrop moving from sky blue to soft green, capturing the graphic energy and nostalgic charm of vintage travel ephemera. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the graphic motif has a clear central focus and distinct vintage typography, we see this working best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full lettering can be read without breaking the visual narrative. In a living room or home office, placing the mural on the primary accent wall behind a low sofa or a streamlined desk keeps the detailed landscape scenes within each letter fully visible. The horizontal layout of the postcard format naturally anchors a room, making it well suited to wider wall spaces or a holiday home living area where a bold design direction sets a welcoming, relaxed tone.

Styling it

The distinct retro character and mid-century origins of the design pair naturally with simple, functional interior elements that do not compete with the bold lettering.

• Pair with warm wood furniture, such as mid-century walnut or teak sideboards with clean horizontal lines that echo the graphic framing.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in solid, unpatterned fabrics so the detailed illustrations within the letters remain the focal point.
• Introduce matte black metal light fixtures or simple frames to pick up the crisp graphic outlines used throughout the screenprint lettering.

Colour combinations

The palette is defined by energetic pops of warm red and bright orange balanced against cool sky blue, leafy green, and grounded black lettering. To build a cohesive room scheme around the wallpaper, we recommend pulling the softer sky blue or pale moss green from the background gradient onto adjacent walls or painted trim. If you prefer a more understated surround, neutral warm stone, soft linen tones, or off-white allow the rich typography to stand out clearly. For deliberate contrast, deeper charcoal or muted terracotta accents in cushions or ceramics connect directly to the primary print shades.
