Wallpaper - Greetings from Kansas - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Kansas wallpaper captures the unmistakable character of mid-century Americana through a classic souvenir postcard format. Designed by The Tichnor Brothers, the artwork centres on large, graphic lettering where each individual letter frames a distinct vignette of the Sunflower State, from vintage aircraft beside an airfield to wheat harvesting, prairie rivers, grazing cattle, and the state capitol in Topeka. Bright golden sunflowers anchor the lower corner against a soft sky-blue and blush backdrop, giving the screenprint-inspired design an upbeat, graphic presence. Like all our wall murals, it is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because this design functions as a single graphic composition with bold narrative lettering, we like it best on an open, uninterrupted wall where the full postcard layout can be appreciated from a distance. In a home office, library, living room, or entryway, giving this mural wallpaper central placement allows the detail within each letterform to draw the eye without feeling crowded by surrounding architectural interruptions.

In larger rooms, placing the wallpaper behind a low sofa or a streamlined work desk keeps the bottom edge grounded while leaving the Kansas lettering and sky elements completely visible. Generous daylight brings out the clarity of the screenprinted line work and the soft warmth of the pink and sky-blue background tones.

Styling it

The distinct retro character and graphic weight of the mural call for furniture with clean profiles that complement the 1950s aesthetic without competing for attention.

• Pair the mural with warm mid-century wood tones, such as teak, walnut, or honeyed oak, to mirror the nostalgic heritage of the print.
• Choose low-profile furniture and simple upholstery in neutral fabrics like canvas, twill, or smooth leather so the wall carries the decorative storytelling.
• Add restrained accents in matte black metal or warm brass, keeping decorative accessories uncluttered to maintain focus on the artwork's illustrated details.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a vibrant core palette of sky blue, warm blush pink, bright sunflower yellow, and crisp white, with accents of agricultural green, brick red, and slate.

When painting adjacent walls, soft warm whites, muted plaster pinks, or very light sky blues create a gentle backdrop that extends the mood of the sky. For woodwork, doors, and trim, a deeper classic navy or an earthy, vintage red pulled directly from the lettering borders provides crisp definition that anchors the entire room.
