Wallpaper - Greetings from the Monarchs - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Monarchs wallpaper brings a classic piece of mid-century graphic art into the home, featuring artwork by The Tichnor Brothers. Designed in the visual style of a vintage screenprint postcard from the 1930s, the composition celebrates three of New York City's defining architectural landmarks: the Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center, and the Empire State Building. Rendered with soft sky blue tones and gentle pastel accents, the print pairs bold Art Deco architectural forms with an open, nostalgic colour balance. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, our wall murals are straightforward to hang and make a distinctive architectural statement.

In the room

In a living room or dedicated home office, we like how the strong vertical lines of the skyscrapers draw the eye upward, giving the space an immediate sense of height and graphic rhythm. Because this is an illustrative architectural scene with distinct focal points, we would give the mural wallpaper an uninterrupted wall where the full trio of towers can be appreciated across the width of the room. In a study or home workspace, placing this design along the wall behind a desk creates an inspiring backdrop without overwhelming the working area, as the soft pastel sky keeps the overall visual weight balanced.

Styling it

The screenprint character and 1930s heritage of this design lend themselves naturally to mid-century modern, retro, or heritage-inspired interiors.

We would pair this wallpaper with warm, mid-toned woods like teak or walnut, which ground the cool sky blues and complement the vintage graphic look. To maintain balance, keep larger furniture pieces relatively simple in silhouette, allowing the strong architectural line work in the motif to lead the room. Clean, tailored upholstery in muted neutrals or subtle leather finishes works particularly well alongside the print's nostalgic tones.

Colour combinations

Our design is built around clear sky blue and soft pastel tones that form the open backdrop behind the illustrated towers. To style the surrounding room, we would look to muted off-whites or soft greys on neighbouring walls and woodwork to let the blues stand out cleanly. For accent elements in upholstery, art frames, or decorative objects, deeper navy, muted terracotta, or warm ochre draw directly on classic printmaker palettes and provide a pleasing contrast to the lighter backdrop.
