Wallpaper - Greetings from Arizona - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Arizona wallpaper captures the classic 1940s Americana postcard aesthetic, originally illustrated by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, graphic block lettering spells out "Greetings From Arizona", with each character revealing distinct scenes of desert landscapes, red rock geological formations, a bucking horse with a cowboy, and traditional cultural imagery. The background features a dramatic sunset gradient blending vibrant orange and rich saffron tones into deep blue. With its distinct screenprint-inspired character and bold retro feel, this design functions as an expressive focal point. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif relies on strong graphic lettering and a sweeping horizontal composition, we see this working best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. In a hallway, entrance, living room, or holiday home, placing the mural where sightlines are clear allows the entire postcard arrangement to be taken in at once. The bold contrasts and vivid palette give it an energetic presence, so we recommend letting it anchor one primary wall rather than wrapping it around an entire room. Keeping tall furniture away from the centre of the wall ensures the illustrative vignettes inside each letter remain fully visible.

Styling it

To balance the energetic visual weight and retro palette of the wallpaper, we suggest keeping surrounding elements clean and deliberate. Mid-century modern or rustic Americana furnishings complement the vintage travel theme without competing with it for attention.

Warm, medium-to-dark wood finishes, such as teak or warm pine, anchor the earthy red rocks and desert tones in the illustration. Simple leather upholstery, matte black accents, or plain woven upholstery create grounded physical textures that let the graphic nature of the print stand out naturally.

Colour combinations

The design features a saturated palette grounded in glowing orange, saffron yellow, deep evening blue, and earthy red-rock ochres. To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend drawing on these existing shades for surrounding surfaces and decor.

Warm off-white or soft desert sand tones on adjoining walls provide a calm contrast that keeps the room bright. If you prefer deeper contrast, pairing the mural with navy trim or dark petrol blue cabinetry picks up the deep sky tones at the top of the design, giving the space a grounded, intentional feel.
