Wallpaper - Greetings from Williston - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Williston wallpaper captures the nostalgic character of classic mid-century Americana through a vintage screenprint postcard design. Created by The Tichnor Brothers in the 1940s, the motif centres on large dimensional lettering spelling out "Greetings from Williston, North Dakota", with each character revealing a distinct local vignette from historic architecture and leafy scenery to a red vintage automobile and a sunlit pool. The vibrant composition balances warm coral, orange, and golden yellow tones against sky blues and graphic line work. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings bold graphic history and rich colour to an accent wall.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal composition and large graphic typography, this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full phrase and individual illustrated scenes can be viewed without heavy obstruction. In a living room, we would position this wall mural behind a low-backed sofa or along an open dining area to let the artwork establish the focal point of the space. The vibrant palette also suits a casual family room or a vacation home, where retro character feels right at home. Because the motif is rich in fine visual detail and high contrast, giving it breathing room on a main wall prevents the space from feeling overcrowded.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork take centre stage, we suggest pairing our design with clean-lined mid-century or retro-inspired furniture. Simple wooden sideboards in warm oak or teak complement the 1940s print heritage without competing with the bold typography. Keep surrounding textiles relatively understated in solid weaves or neutral tones, allowing the colourful illustrated vignettes inside each letter to provide the primary visual energy in the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features an energetic palette anchored by coral, warm orange, and golden yellow, paired with cool sky blues and deeper graphic accents. When decorating around it, you can echo the warm coral and orange tones through small accent pieces, such as cushions or ceramic tableware. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, muted off-whites, warm creams, or soft dusty blues create a balanced backdrop that lets the vibrant colours of the mural stand out naturally.
