Wallpaper - Greetings from Indianapolis - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Indianapolis wallpaper reimagines classic mid-century postcard art as an expressive, large-scale wall mural. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers, the graphic design features bold dimensional lettering across an energetic blue sky and glowing yellow-orange sunburst. Each letter in "INDIANAPOLIS" is filled with detailed vintage views of local landmarks and architecture, while rich orange and red typography anchors the composition. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings nostalgic travel character and lively color into any space.

In the room

Because of its strong graphic layout and dynamic diagonal lettering, we see this design working best on an open, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room or vacation home, placing the mural behind a low-profile sofa or on a main focal wall allows the detailed architectural scenes within each letter to remain clearly visible. The vibrant blue, warm orange, and golden yellow tones give the room an immediate focal point, making it a great conversation piece for entertaining spaces.

Styling it

To let the bold typography and vivid artwork take center stage, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with relatively clean, understated furnishings. Mid-century modern furniture with simple silhouettes works naturally with the 1940s vintage aesthetic. Natural medium wood tones, such as teak or walnut, harmonize beautifully with the warm orange and golden hues in the print. Keep larger textiles in grounded neutral tones so the graphic screenprint look remains the clear focus of the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a vivid sky blue backdrop contrasted with radiant sunshine yellow, vibrant orange, and deep red accents. To complement these shades on surrounding walls or architectural trim, we suggest using warm off-whites, soft creams, or muted sand tones to create a balanced backdrop. If you prefer a richer, more immersive look, bringing in accents of navy blue or deep terracotta pulls directly from the print's most prominent colors.
