Wallpaper - Greetings from Arkansas - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Arkansas wallpaper brings classic mid-century postcard art to life on a large scale. Inspired by vintage screenprints by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold lettering across the center, with each letter framing distinct vignettes of the state: historic architecture, natural landscapes, bridges, and a racetrack, alongside the Arkansas State Capitol building and a delicate apple blossom illustration. Radiating diagonal rays in coral, warm orange, blue, and yellow create a dynamic, energetic backdrop that gives the entire composition a playful Americana feel. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper, this design provides an authentic retro statement with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the strong central lettering and graphic rays, we see this wall mural working best as a dedicated focal point. In a vacation home living area, a hallway, or an informal social space, placing it on an uninterrupted main wall allows the complete graphic layout and lettering to be viewed without obstruction. The visual scale is generous and bold, making it well suited for wide walls behind lower seating, like a low-profile sofa or bench, where the state imagery remains fully visible above the furniture line.

Styling it

To balance the lively, retro graphic style, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively straightforward. Mid-century silhouettes in warm timber tones or clean painted finishes pair naturally with the 1940s character of the print without competing for attention. Rather than introducing additional busy patterns into the room, let the wall mural carry the visual storytelling, balancing it with solid upholstery and calm, functional accents.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a vibrant palette of coral, bright orange, sunny yellow, sky blue, and white, alongside rich architectural and landscape tones inside the lettering. On surrounding walls, clean warm white or soft cream keeps the room bright and open, letting the retro colors stand out crisply. If you prefer to draw on the deeper tones in the design, accents in muted navy blue or warm terracotta through cushions, painted doors, or cabinetry will help ground the space.
