Wallpaper - Greetings from White Lake - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from White Lake screenprint postcard wallpaper brings a vibrant slice of mid-century Americana to the wall. Large dimensional lettering forms the centrepiece, with each letter framing nostalgic holiday scenes of lake swimming, boating, wooden docks, and classic amusement rides. Originating from The Tichnor Brothers, the graphic design features arching stripes of warm orange, soft green, and sky blue that give the composition its sun-drenched energy. Printed as a custom made-to-measure mural on PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle surface structure, it works as an expressive focal point with authentic vintage character.

In the room

Because of its bold graphic layout and centralised text, we see this design working best on an open, uninterrupted feature wall where the full typography and artwork can be appreciated from a distance. It makes an engaging statement in a living room behind a low sofa, or in a casual dining space where its retro holiday atmosphere sets a lively tone. The playful theme also suits a family games room, a hallway landing, or a holiday cottage where vintage travel art feels right at home. In rooms with generous natural light, the colourful striped background and blue lake tones feel especially crisp and cheerful.

Styling it

To let the strong graphic typography take the spotlight, we recommend surrounding this mural with relatively unpretentious furniture and simple shapes. Mid-century silhouettes, clean-lined timber pieces in warm teak or honey pine, and retro accents complement the 1950s screenprint style naturally.

Keep textiles and upholstery relatively understated, opting for plain weaves in cream, washed navy, or muted olive to balance the energetic pattern. Avoiding heavily patterned curtains or competing wall art nearby will ensure the postcard motif remains the clear visual hero of the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a vibrant retro palette, combining sky blue, warm lake navy, vivid red, energetic orange, and grass green against a gently aged paper tone.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, you can draw directly from the softer notes in the mural. A soft warm off-white or light stone on neighbouring walls keeps the room feeling airy while letting the mural pop. If you prefer more colour, muted sky blue or a soft olive green drawn from the background bands creates a cohesive, wrap-around atmosphere that supports the vintage aesthetic without overwhelming it.
