Wallpaper - Greetings from Wisconsin - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Wisconsin wallpaper captures the nostalgic charm of classic mid-century travel postcards. Created in collaboration with vintage imagery from The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold, blocky lettering filled with scenic vignettes of dairy pastures, lighthouses, cheese aging racks, and lake boating. Anchoring the composition below is the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison beside delicate purple wood violets, all set against a soft sky blue and warm sunset gradient. Produced as a made-to-measure mural on our PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper texture, this graphic piece brings distinctive Americana character straight to your walls.

In the room

Because this is a large-scale graphic postcard design, we think it works best when given a clear, uninterrupted wall where the full typography and detailed postcard scenes can be viewed together. It makes a vibrant focal point in an entryway, a guest room, or a casual living area in a vacation home or lake cabin. The strong horizontal lettering naturally balances wider walls, while the warm yellow and sky blue tones bring a cheerful, open feeling to compact entry halls and breakfast nooks alike.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork stand out, we suggest pairing it with clean, uncomplicated furnishings that do not compete with the bold lettering. Mid-century modern sideboards, simple warm oak benches, or painted vintage furniture work especially well with the retro screenprint look. Keeping surrounding wall decor minimal allows the intricate vignettes inside each letter to draw the eye without feeling crowded.

Colour combinations

The palette is built around soft sky blue, warm peach-orange, and deep brick red outlines, balanced by rich forest greens and violet purple accents. For surrounding walls and trim, we like using a creamy off-white or soft warm beige to let the postcard pop. Alternatively, picking up the muted slate blue from the sky or a deep navy from the lettering shadow creates a cohesive, grounded look across the rest of the space.
