Wallpaper - Greetings from St Louis - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from St Louis wallpaper captures classic mid-century travel Americana, inspired by vintage screenprint postcards originally produced by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, three-dimensional block lettering spells out the city name against a soft sky-blue backdrop, with each dimensional letter revealing scenic vignettes of St. Louis architecture, riverside bridges, parklands, and landmarks. Bold red drop shadows give the typography distinct depth and graphic punch. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings nostalgic warmth and graphic charm into your interior.

In the room

Because the motif centers on strong graphic typography and detailed scenic vignettes, we find this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full lettering can be appreciated without major breaks. In a living room or a dedicated lounge area, positioning the wallpaper behind a low sofa or along an open main wall allows the colorful details within each letter to become an immediate focal point. The design also feels right at home in a vacation home, sunroom, or creative workspace where a playful, retro travel theme adds character and historic appeal.

Styling it

We recommend letting the bold graphic typography take center stage by pairing it with straightforward, unpretentious interior elements. Mid-century modern furniture with clean lines and warm wood tones naturally complements the 1930s print aesthetic. To balance the vibrant imagery, keep surrounding upholstery and larger furnishings relatively simple, choosing neutral fabrics or solid colors rather than competing patterns. Subtle vintage accents, such as classic table lamps, leather seating, or retro metal finishes, help tie the room together while keeping the space feeling relaxed and curated.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a rich, nostalgic palette centered around a light cornflower blue background, accented with bright coral red shadows, deep architectural grays, and natural greens from the illustrated parklands. When choosing surrounding wall colors or furniture tones, warm off-white or soft cream provides a calm, balanced backdrop that allows the typography to stand out. For a more cohesive look, you can pull the warm red or earthy greens into smaller accents, cushions, or painted woodwork, while muted navy and denim blues offer a grounded complement to the sky tones.
