Wallpaper - Greetings from Colorado - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Colorado wallpaper brings classic mid-century Americana into focus through a bold, vintage postcard format created by The Tichnor Brothers. Large block letters spell out the state name across the wall, with each letter framed around detailed scenes of Rocky Mountain peaks, local wildlife, rushing waterfalls, and historic architectural landmarks such as the State Capitol. Rich sky blue, warm orange, and lush green tones blend into an energetic backdrop accented by purple columbine details. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper, this design provides a striking graphic focal point with distinct nostalgic character.

In the room

Because the motif relies on wide horizontal lettering and detailed scenic illustrations inside each letter, we think this design works best on a broad, relatively uninterrupted wall. In a living room, hallway, or guest bedroom, giving the mural wallpapers ample breathing room allows each vignette within the typography to remain legible from across the space. It also feels right at home in a dedicated home office, study, or vacation home where you want the wall to carry a strong narrative and a sense of travel. The graphic structure holds up well in rooms with generous daylight, where the contrasting tones between the sky blue background and warmer lettering details can really stand out.

Styling it

To balance the bold lettering and varied imagery, we suggest pairing this design with grounded, unfussy furniture. Mid-century silhouettes in warm wood tones, such as teak or medium oak, complement the 1930s screenprint aesthetic without competing with the typography. Keeping larger upholstered pieces relatively neutral in solid canvas, soft denim, or textured grey allows the wall mural to remain the focal point of the interior. Simple matte black or aged brass hardware provides a tidy graphic link to the print line work without adding unnecessary visual clutter.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vivid palette built on a foundation of clear sky blue, sunset orange, pine green, and subtle lilac notes from the columbine petals. When planning adjacent walls and woodwork, we like using a soft off-white or a very pale grey-blue to give the mural a crisp border. For a richer, more enveloping scheme in a study or snug, drawing out the deep pine green or warm terracotta for surrounding painted trims or low cabinetry creates an intentional and cohesive link to the scenery within the letters.
