Wallpaper - Greetings from Coulee Dam - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Coulee Dam wallpaper captures the distinct graphic character of classic mid-century travel postcards. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, this design features bold, three-dimensional lettering spelling out Grand Coulee Dam Washington, with scenes of the dam and rushing water framed inside each letter. Set against flowing blue water and a cloud-filled sky, the print balances vibrant shades of orange, coral, red, and crisp white. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an expressive feature wall in a living room, study, or home library. Because the large typography and postcard composition function as a single visual focal point, giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full lettering and scenic inserts to be appreciated without being broken up by tall furniture. In a study or reading room, placing the mural on the wall behind a desk or low seating lets the graphic lettering anchor the space while keeping sightlines open.

Styling it

Because the artwork brings significant graphic energy and warm color to the room, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean and understated in form.

Low-profile furniture in medium to warm wood tones pairs naturally with the retro character of the print without competing for attention. To maintain visual balance, choose upholstered pieces in quiet, neutral fabrics like unbleached linen or textured off-white canvas, allowing the bold typography to remain the centerpiece of the interior.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centers on a lively mix of coral, warm orange, deep red, crisp white, and cool water blues. To complement the motif, we suggest pairing it with soft off-white or light warm grey on adjoining painted walls and trim, which lets the warmer postcard tones stand out clearly. If you want to introduce deeper contrast, bringing in accents of navy blue or muted slate grey in surrounding textiles picks up on the cool tones in the sky and water.
