Wallpaper - Greetings from Coeur d'Alene - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Coeur d'Alene wallpaper brings mid-century Americana to the wall with the graphic character of a classic 1940s screenprint postcard by The Tichnor Brothers. Bold, blocky lettering stretches across the composition, spelling out "Greetings from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho," with each letter revealing detailed scenic vignettes of pine forests, open water, sailboats, and local landmarks. Set against a soft powder blue and pastel background with warm pops of yellow and pink, the design creates a nostalgic, open feel. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in an entryway, hallway, or vacation home living space where a statement graphic wall can set a welcoming tone right away. Because the lettering spans the full width of the artwork, we recommend giving the mural an uninterrupted wall so the complete typography and scenic details remain unobstructed. In an entry or foyer, placing it along a main walkway allows guests to appreciate the smaller illustrated details inside each letter up close, while still enjoying the bold vintage poster feel from a step back.

Styling it

The graphic 1940s travel poster aesthetic pairs naturally with retro, mid-century modern, or relaxed rustic interiors. We would keep the surrounding furniture relatively low and clean-lined, such as a simple bench in a warm wood tone like walnut or oak, to keep the visual weight balanced and avoid cutting into the lower lettering. To let the bold typography remain the focal point, pair it with unpatterned textiles and simple lighting fixtures that pick up the warm golden yellows or deep blues in the print.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a soft powder blue base, balanced by vibrant greens, lake blues, golden yellows, and touches of pastel pink within the lettering. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, a muted warm off-white or a very pale powder blue creates a calm frame that lets the central graphics stand out. If you prefer more contrast, a deep forest green or rich navy blue drawn from the scenery inside the letters makes an excellent accent color for nearby doors, trim, or cabinetry.
