Wallpaper - Greetings from North Dakota - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from North Dakota wallpaper brings the distinct visual charm of mid-century screenprinted postcards directly to a wall. Designed by The Tichnor Brothers in the 1930s style, large block lettering forms the centerpiece, with each letter framing regional vignettes including grazing cattle, fishermen, rustic landmarks, and scenic prairie views. A vivid rainbow stripe curves through a sky-blue textured backdrop, complemented by the State Capitol building in Bismarck and the wild prairie rose. Custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers a graphic, nostalgic statement for the home.

In the room

Because of its bold graphic presence and large-scale central typography, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, hallway, home office, or vacation home. The composition has an expansive horizontal feel, meaning it benefits from an uninterrupted wall where the full lettering and surrounding details can be appreciated without tall furniture obscuring the base. In rooms with ample daylight, the sky-blue background and multicolored letter fills feel crisp and bright, while warmer evening interior lighting brings out the nostalgic, vintage character of the print.

Styling it

To let the expressive Americana design lead the room, we would keep surrounding elements grounded and tactile.

• Pair with warm wood furniture such as mid-century walnut, natural pine, or honey oak to echo the retro travel aesthetic.
• Balance the vibrant typography with simple, unpatterned textiles in off-white, denim, or muted canvas.
• Incorporate simple lighting with matte black or aged brass hardware that complements the vintage screenprint style without adding competing visual noise.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a textured sky-blue base, layered with pops of poppy red, sunny yellow, grassy green, and soft rose pink inside the letter scenes. On adjacent walls, soft warm whites, pale cream, or light grey allow the mural to take center stage without overwhelming the space. If you want to carry the palette further into upholstery or painted woodwork, dusty denim blue or muted olive green provide natural extensions of the artwork's tones.
