Wallpaper - Greetings from South Carolina - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from South Carolina wallpaper brings the classic mid-century souvenir postcard to life on a grand scale. Designed with artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold block lettering where each individual letter frames a distinct regional scene, including a coastal lighthouse, bridges, historic architecture, and the State Capitol in Columbia. A graphic orange and purple diamond motif provides an energetic backdrop, complemented by bright yellow jasmine flowers along the lower corner. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this expressive design brings vivid retro character to any residential interior.

In the room

With its large typography and high-contrast composition, we see this wall mural working best as the central focus of a room. In a living room, hallway, or holiday home, giving the design an open, relatively uninterrupted wall lets you appreciate the fine architectural and scenic details inside each letter. Because the artwork has strong horizontal presence and energetic geometry, it anchors a seating area or an entryway wall without needing additional wall art. In rooms with steady daylight, the rich contrast between the warm orange, cool purple, and sunny yellow details stands out with crisp clarity.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork take centre stage, we would pair our wallpaper with relatively grounded interior elements. Mid-century modern furniture, simple wooden silhouettes, and clean retro profiles complement the 1940s travel aesthetic naturally. Keeping larger furniture items in solid, neutral upholstery prevents the room from feeling visually busy, allowing the distinct scenes within the letters to draw the eye. Subtle metal accents in aged brass or matte black echo the graphic linework of the screenprint look without competing with the bold palette.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on saturated contrasts, pairing deep purple and fiery orange in the geometric backdrop with accents of bright jasmine yellow, sky blue, and earthy greens within the vignette illustrations. When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls or trim, we suggest pulling directly from these tones:

• A soft, creamy off-white or light warm grey on neighbouring walls keeps the room open while letting the mural provide the primary burst of colour.
• A muted ochre, mustard yellow, or warm terracotta picked up from the lettering and floral details creates a harmonious, sun-drenched atmosphere across surrounding surfaces.
• A deep plum, charcoal, or dark navy on skirting boards or interior doors provides a smart, tailored frame that mirrors the graphic structure of the print.
