Wallpaper - Greetings from the Start - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Start wallpaper captures a detailed aerial view of a busy airport terminal in the graphic, retro style of a mid-century screenprint postcard. At the centre of the composition, a large circular fountain with radiating water jets is encircled by a full parking lot, leading the eye toward the distinct arched roofline of the terminal building and a tall control tower standing watch over the tarmac. Soft gray and neutral tones define the runways, buildings, and open fields stretching toward the horizon under a clear sky. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpapers with a subtle physical structure in the paper, this design brings an orderly architectural character to an accent wall.

In the room

Because the composition features a wide horizon and distinct focal points, we see this working particularly well in a home office, hallway, or living room where the aerial perspective has room to unfold. In a study or work area, placing our wall murals along the wall behind a desk creates an engaging architectural backdrop without visually overwhelming the workspace. The horizontal line of the runways and distant fields naturally draws the eye across the room, making it an effective choice for wider, uninterrupted walls where the full breadth of the airport layout can be appreciated from a distance. In a hallway or entryway, the structured layout offers visual interest at eye level while keeping the palette understated and balanced.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with furniture that reflects its clean, mid-century and industrial architectural roots.

• Choose furniture with straightforward silhouettes, such as a mid-century desk, low sideboard, or simple dark metal shelving that complements the graphic line work of the airport structures.
• Incorporate warm wood tones, such as teak or walnut, to introduce natural warmth alongside the cooler gray tones of the tarmac and buildings.
• Keep surrounding accessories uncluttered and sculptural, allowing the detailed geometry of the fountain, parking arcs, and terminal roof to remain the main visual focus of the space.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a palette of soft grays, stone neutrals, and muted sky tones that create a calm, graphic foundation. When decorating around our wallpaper, consider extending these neutral tones onto adjacent walls with soft warm off-whites, pale concrete grays, or muted putty shades. For accent colours on upholstery or decorative objects, deeper charcoal, muted navy, or warm ochre provide a handsome contrast that highlights the vintage print character while keeping the overall room cohesive and grounded.
