Wallpaper - Greetings from Columbia S.C. - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Columbia S.C. wallpaper brings classic mid-century travel art into a bold wall mural format. Created originally by The Tichnor Brothers, this design features large three-dimensional block letters spelling out "Columbia", with each character revealing illustrated scenes of historic architecture, leafy town views, and classic streetscapes. Behind the typography, diagonal rays in sunshine yellow, sky blue, and soft purple add energetic visual rhythm, framed by a soft pink border. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper structure, it makes a distinctive focal point for living rooms, hallways, and creative spaces.

In the room

Because of the prominent central lettering and strong diagonal background, this design naturally draws the eye straight to the middle of the wall. In a living room, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall behind a low sofa or credenza, allowing the full typography and scenic lettering details to stay clearly visible. The bold graphic structure also suits a lively entryway or hallway where a graphic focal point sets a welcoming, nostalgic tone as soon as you step inside.

Styling it

To balance the vibrant colors and bold typography of the mural, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined mid-century or retro-inspired furniture. Warm timber pieces, such as walnut or teak sideboards, complement the warm ochres and brick tones inside the lettering, while painted furniture in neutral off-whites keeps the surrounding space grounded. Avoid placing high-backed furniture directly against the center of the wall so the intricate city vignettes inside each letter remain uninterrupted.

Color combinations

The palette in this wallpaper combines warm yellow, sky blue, soft purple, and coral red with rich earth tones and greens across the architectural illustrations. When decorating the rest of the room, you can pull the sky blue or soft muted purple into accent textiles, or choose warm cream and light biscuit tones for adjacent painted walls to keep the atmosphere balanced without competing with the mural.
