Wallpaper - Greetings from Raleigh - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Raleigh wallpaper brings the graphic energy of a classic mid-century postcard to a grand scale. Designed with the distinct character of a vintage 1940s screenprint by The Tichnor Brothers, the motif centers on bold "Greetings from Raleigh, N.C." block lettering, with each letter framed around detailed illustrations of local landmarks, historic architecture, and a stadium. Radiant yellow rays fan out across a sky-blue background, anchored along the bottom by warm orange and yellow floral details. Printed as made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle structure in the paper, this design creates a lively visual focal point that celebrates urban history and graphic art.

In the room

Because of the strong central lettering and graphic postcard composition, we see this wall mural working best on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall where the entire scene can unfold without being cut off by doors or tall cabinetry. In a living room or vacation home, placing the wallpaper directly behind a low-profile sofa allows the colorful typography and architectural vignettes to remain in clear view. The horizontal layout also suits open-plan spaces where you want a single accent wall to anchor the living or sitting zone.

Styling it

When working with such an energetic, retro-inspired motif, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded. Low-backed seating in neutral upholstery lets the wall mural take center stage without visual competition.

To complement the 1940s print aesthetic, you can introduce furniture with clean mid-century lines and warm wood tones. Surrounding decor in matte ceramic finishes or simple framed artwork on adjacent walls will help maintain balance across the room without competing with the bold illustration.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a sky-blue backdrop with bright yellow rays, vivid orange and yellow flowers, and multicolored architectural illustrations tucked into the typography.

For adjacent walls and painted trim, we recommend pulling out a soft, muted cream or a very pale sky blue to echo the background without overpowering the space. If you want to introduce stronger contrast through furniture or larger textiles, deep navy or warm terracotta accents pick up on the print's darker linework and rich floral tones.
