Wallpaper - Greetings from Wilson - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Wilson wallpaper brings classic mid-century graphic art into the home with an authentic 1940s large-letter postcard design created by The Tichnor Brothers. The bold, three-dimensional lettering spelling out Wilson, N.C. forms the core of the piece, with each individual character framing detailed architectural scenes, including a traditional steepled church and historic town buildings. Dynamic sunburst rays in saturated orange, coral, yellow, blue, and red emanate across the background, while a subtle paper-textured visual finish gives the entire motif a genuine screenprint character. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, this PVC-free wallpaper is straightforward to hang and adds an expressive heritage focal point to an accent wall.

In the room

Because of the bold horizontal text and sweeping graphic rays, this is one of our mural wallpapers that naturally commands attention. In a living room, we love seeing this design given pride of place on a wide, central feature wall behind a sofa or credenza, where the full composition can stretch out uninterrupted. The scale of the typography and historic building vignettes inside the lettering invite closer viewing, making it particularly engaging in spaces where people gather and spend time. For a holiday home or vacation property, it works brilliantly to establish an instant sense of nostalgia and travel-inspired character across an entire living or lounge area.

Styling it

The distinct Americana aesthetic and vibrant vintage palette make this design an exciting foundation for retro and mid-century-inspired interiors. To keep the focus on the graphic artwork, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, clean-lined furniture rather than heavily ornate pieces.

• Warm mid-toned woods such as teak, walnut, or warm oak complement the rich orange and coral tones in the print while anchoring the room.
• Upholstered seating in neutral, textured weaves or soft navy fabric echoes the architectural linework and blue rays without competing for visual dominance.
• Classic retro accents, such as matte black iron fittings or simple ceramic table lamps, help ground the energetic sunburst backdrop.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by vibrant coral and warm orange tones, balanced by golden yellow, soft sky blue, and crisp white highlights within the typography. When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, a soft, creamy off-white or a muted warm linen shade keeps the overall room bright and allows the postcard motif to stand out clearly. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out the deep ocean blue or warm brick-red from the print for adjacent walls, skirting, or doors creates a handsome, cohesive contrast that frames the graphic beautifully.
