Wallpaper - Greetings from Virginia - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Virginia wallpaper brings the classic mid-century postcard aesthetic straight onto the wall. Created from original artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold, oversized lettering framed in dynamic three-dimensional perspective, with each letter revealing picturesque scenes of Virginia landmarks, waterways, battleships, and historic architecture. The composition is grounded by the State Capitol in Richmond at the lower right and delicate yellow American Dogwood blossoms in the foreground, set against warm golden yellow, sky blue, and vibrant orange tones. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers with a subtle physical structure in the paper, this PVC-free design adds retro charm and graphic character to any interior.

In the room

Because this design acts as a graphic statement piece, we think it works best on an open, uninterrupted feature wall where the complete postcard composition and typography can be seen in full. It feels right at home in a living room, hallway, games room, or a dedicated home study. In a holiday home or entryway, the welcoming script and nostalgic travel theme set an immediate sense of arrival. Giving the wallpaper breathing room away from tall wardrobes or towering bookcases ensures that the lettering and detailed vignettes remain the natural focal point of the space.

Styling it

When decorating around such an expressive retro print, we recommend balancing the energy with considered furniture choices. Mid-century modern timber pieces in warm teak or walnut complement the 1940s vintage aesthetic nicely, while clean-lined contemporary seating keeps the room feeling grounded rather than cluttered. Low-profile credenzas, comfortable leather armchairs, or understated brass accents pair naturally with the golden hues without competing with the bold graphic lettering.

Colour combinations

The design is built on an energetic palette of marigold yellow, soft sky blue, vivid orange, and rich forest greens within the landmark vignettes. To build a cohesive room around this wallpaper, look to warm off-whites, cream, or pale biscuit for adjacent painted walls. If you want to lean into the warmth, accent textiles in soft ochre or muted rust echo the background stripes, while navy blue or deep olive green furnishings create a satisfying, grounding contrast against the bright typography.
