Wallpaper - Greetings from Billings - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Billings wallpaper captures the distinctive character of mid-century Americana through the graphic style of a 1940s large-letter postcard by The Tichnor Brothers. Each bold letter in "Billings" frames a vignette of Montana life and local architecture, including red brick buildings, a rider on horseback, and a yellow and white lighthouse. Set against a warm gradient of blue, orange, and sunshine yellow, the composition has the authentic look of a vintage screenprint. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its bold graphic lettering and horizontal postcard format, we see this wall mural working best as a dedicated focal point on a main wall. In a living room, hallway, or home office, giving the design an uninterrupted wall surface allows the full typography and individual pictorial scenes to be read clearly from across the room.

The vibrant retro palette makes our wallpaper an engaging choice for social spaces or a holiday home where you want to introduce narrative and personality. When planning the space, we suggest placing lower seating or low consoles beneath the wall so the central artwork and detailed illustrations remain unobstructed.

Styling it

The distinct 1940s graphic style invites an interior approach that leans into vintage, mid-century modern, or classic Americana themes. To let the bold visual storytelling of the postcard remain the centre of attention, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded in shape and finish.

Warm timber pieces, such as teak or aged oak, connect naturally with the golden and orange tones in the print. For seating and upholstery, simple woven textiles in neutral tones or deep navy provide a calm counterpoint to the energetic multi-coloured lettering.

Colour combinations

Our design features a lively palette built around sunshine yellow, rich orange, sky blue, and the earthy brick reds within the letterforms.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites or soft cream shades create a comfortable, sunlit frame around the print. For a richer, more tailored interior, pairing the wall mural with deep navy blue or a muted rust red drawn directly from the illustration creates a cohesive, enveloping feel throughout the space.
