Wallpaper - Take a Hike - Screenprint Postcard

Our Take a Hike - Screenprint Postcard wallpaper brings a classic lakeside landscape to life, framed by tall woodland trees and lush foreground greenery. The composition looks out across calm blue water reflecting a pale sky, while rolling green hills rise gently in the background. A small yellow rowing boat rests near the water's edge, adding a quiet focal point nestled among ferns and lakeside foliage. Sourced from the historic postcard archives of The Tichnor Brothers, the design carries an authentic vintage screenprint character with soft earthy browns, leafy greens, and gentle blues. Like all of our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang in any interior.

In the room

We love how the open perspective in this scenic mural works across a main feature wall, giving the entire room a sense of depth and outdoor horizon. In a bedroom or living room, positioning the lake view behind a bed or low-backed sofa lets the canopy of tall trees frame the seating or sleeping area naturally.

The vertical tree trunks on either side provide visual height, which suits rooms with standard or lower ceilings particularly well. For a home office, study, or reading corner, placing this landscape along an uninterrupted wall creates a restful backdrop where the eye can naturally wander into the distance.

Styling it

The vintage screenprint aesthetic pairs naturally with traditional, rustic, and cabin-inspired interiors, where nostalgic outdoor motifs feel right at home.

• Choose warm wooden furniture in mid-toned oak, walnut, or pine to pick up on the earthy brown tree trunks and vintage postcard style.
• Complement the design with textural fabrics such as unbleached cotton, brushed wool throws, or woven cushions in muted forest green or warm mustard.
• Keep wall fixtures and lighting relatively understated, using aged bronze or antique brass fittings to echo the heritage print feel.

Colour combinations

The palette centres around earthy walnut browns, deep moss and forest greens, lake blue, and soft sky tones, punctuated by the warm yellow accent of the rowboat.

To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend pairing this design with adjacent painted walls in soft off-white, warm stone, or pale sage. For a moodier, enveloping feel in a study or den, deeper olive green or warm brown tones pulled directly from the tree trunks and shoreline work beautifully on surrounding walls, woodwork, and skirting boards.
