Wallpaper - Greetings from Kansas - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Kansas wallpaper captures the energetic graphic feel of mid-century Americana, drawn from vintage postcard art by The Tichnor Brothers. The composition centres on bold display lettering filled with detailed vignettes: wheat harvesting, vintage aircraft beside an airfield hangar, grazing cattle, a Native American statue, and a waving American flag. Anchored by the Kansas State Capitol building in Topeka and a vibrant golden sunflower against a sky-blue and soft pink background, the mural creates an eye-catching retro focal point. Our wall murals are made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the design is structured as a single wide scenic graphic, we see this working best as a dedicated feature wall where the lettering and historical illustrations can be seen in full. In a living room, hallway, home library, or entryway, giving this mural an open wall without tall blocking furniture lets the story inside each letter remain visible. The horizontal layout works particularly well across the main wall behind a low sofa or along a wider study wall, where the bright sky-blue and warm pink tones bring an expressive, conversational quality to the space.

Styling it

To balance such a graphic, character-filled design, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean-lined and understated:

• Mid-century modern furniture pieces in warm wood tones, such as teak or walnut, naturally complement the 1950s print heritage without competing with the illustration.
• Choose plain upholstery and textiles in quiet neutral tones, letting the vivid colours and detailed narrative of the mural take centre stage.
• Simple black metal or retro brass lighting fixtures help echo the graphic structure of the print while maintaining a considered, modern balance in the room.

Colour combinations

The palette within our mural wallpaper combines a bright sky-blue sky and soft dusty pink backdrop with vibrant pops of sunflower yellow, green fields, and deep navy and red accents. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, soft sky blues or muted blush pinks create a seamless, harmonious wrap around the room. If you prefer more contrast, grounding the surrounding trim in crisp off-white, warm cream, or a deep vintage navy helps frame the print crisply.
