Wallpaper - Greetings from Coeur d'Alene - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Coeur d'Alene wallpaper draws on classic mid-century postcard aesthetics, created with artwork from The Tichnor Brothers. The design features bold, dimensional lettering spelling out the greeting across a pastel backdrop of powder blue, soft yellow, and pink. Each letter serves as an individual frame, holding detailed vignettes of lush pine forests, tranquil lakes, sailboats, and local landmarks. This graphic screenprint style offers a cheerful, retro sense of travel and americana. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper that gives the print a clean, tactile depth.

In the room

Because the motif relies on strong central lettering and panoramic scenic details inside each character, we find it works best as a dedicated focal point rather than being spread across multiple walls. An entryway or hallway offers an ideal setting for this piece, where the welcoming greeting makes an immediate, friendly statement as you step through the door. In a living room, dining area, or vacation home, we suggest placing it on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full composition and typography can remain unobstructed by tall storage units or oversized furniture. The soft pastel blue base keeps the overall atmosphere light, while the rich forest greens and lake blues within the letters bring depth and visual interest.

Styling it

We recommend balancing the bold retro typography of this wallpaper with understated, clean-lined furnishings. Mid-century modern sideboards or low benches in warm woods work particularly well alongside the 1940s illustrative style, anchoring the design without competing for attention. To keep the room feeling open and fresh, choose painted furniture or upholstery in quiet neutrals, allowing the vibrant colours inside the letters to stand out naturally.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a soft powder blue and pastel yellow foundation, contrasted by deeper forest greens, lake blues, and warm pink accents within the lettering. For adjacent painted walls, skirting boards, and doors, a soft off-white or a very pale sky blue creates a seamless, airy transition that lets the main artwork pop. If you want to draw out the deeper tones, incorporating muted olive greens, navy, or terracotta through smaller cushions, throws, or decorative ceramics will tie the entire space together beautifully.
