Wallpaper - Greetings from Portland - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Portland wallpaper captures the charm of mid-century travel souvenirs through a classic screenprint postcard aesthetic. Bold, dimensional block lettering spans the design, with each letter framing scenic vignettes of iconic landmarks, river bridges, waterfalls, and mountain views. Lush red roses and deep green foliage surround the typography, alongside the vintage slogans "Greetings from" and "For you a rose in Portland grows." Created from artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, this design brings a vibrant retro character to your interior. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the large-scale typography and graphic vignette structure command immediate attention, this design works best as an intentional feature wall. We love using our wall murals in entryways, hallways, and vacation homes where a bold first impression sets a welcoming, nostalgic tone. In an entry or foyer, giving the pattern an uninterrupted wall allows the full lettering and surrounding rose illustrations to be appreciated at eye level. Placing it across a wider, central wall ensures the horizontal balance of the postcard format remains clearly readable without being cut off by tall storage or large wardrobes.

Styling it

To let the vibrant red roses and retro graphics take centre stage, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with relatively understated furniture. Clean-lined mid-century pieces or simple painted furniture work naturally alongside the historic print medium. Low-profile console tables, benches, or credenzas keep the lower portion of the design visible, preserving the detailed scenes inside each letter. Warm brass accents or matte dark metal hardware can echo the graphic outlines of the postcard text without competing with the rich palette.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vivid palette of rose red, leafy green, warm ochre, and soft sky blue set against subtle cream and dark outline tones. To create a cohesive room scheme, consider pulling the soft cream or pale sky blue from the artwork onto surrounding painted walls. If you prefer a richer aesthetic, deep forest green or muted terracotta accents in cushions or upholstery will beautifully highlight the floral border. Keeping large adjacent surfaces in neutral, earthy shades ensures the bright red blooms remain the focal point of the room.
