Wallpaper - Greetings from the Race Track - Screenprint Postcard

Our vintage screenprint wallpaper captures the lively spirit of American horse racing at Oak Lawn Race Track in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. Originally produced by The Tichnor Brothers, this scenic composition pairs classic grandstand architecture and waving flags with thundering horses rounding the dirt bend. Rich pine greens frame the track against warm, earthy tones and soft pastel clouds in the sky above. As with all our wall murals, we produce this design to order as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

We see this design making a strong statement in a living room, particularly on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall behind a sofa or low sideboard. Because the illustration carries a lot of scenic detail, from the crowded grandstand to the stand of pine trees along the rail, giving it enough width allows the panoramic perspective to fully unfold. Placing it along a main wall keeps the visual energy focused while letting the rest of the room remain balanced and uncluttered.

Styling it

To complement the historic postcard aesthetic, we would lean towards warm wood furniture such as mid-tone oak or vintage teak, which naturally harmonises with the track's earthy ground tones. Upholstery in textured fabrics like bouclé or matte woven wool in cream or forest green helps ground the space without competing with the illustrated figures and line work. Keeping decorative accessories relatively pared back allows the graphic character of the mural to take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by deep pine greens, warm sand and dirt browns, muted sky blue, and soft blush accents in the clouds. To build a cohesive palette around it, consider pairing the mural wallpapers with adjacent walls painted in soft off-white, light warm stone, or a muted moss green drawn directly from the surrounding foliage. For accents, deep burgundy or understated navy blue will pick up on the architectural and flag details in the grandstand.
