Wallpaper - Greetings from Richmond - Screenprint Postcard

Capturing the energetic look of classic 1940s Americana, our Greetings from Richmond wallpaper transforms vintage travel ephemera into a bold graphic statement. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers, this screenprint-inspired design features large block lettering where each letter reveals scenes of historic architecture, riverside bridges, and city landmarks. The background transitions across a bright gradient from sky blue to warm yellow, while dynamic script and strong three-dimensional drop shadows give the typography unmistakable presence on the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings vibrant color and nostalgic character to any interior.

In the room

Because of its large-scale typographic layout and central horizontal flow, we like this mural wallpaper best on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full lettering can be seen from end to end. It makes an immediate visual impact in an entryway or front hall, setting an inviting and characterful tone right at the door. In a living room or home office, placing it behind a low credenza or sofa allows the bright sky backdrop and detailed architectural vignettes inside the letters to remain completely visible. The high visual contrast and distinct vintage graphic style mean it functions exceptionally well as a standalone focal point.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic typography and multi-toned illustrations, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture straightforward and uncluttered. Clean-lined mid-century or retro-inspired furniture works naturally with the mid-century postcard aesthetic, especially pieces in warm wood tones that complement the orange lettering accents. Black metal accents, such as a sleek console table frame or minimalist task lighting, pick up on the deep drop shadows in the font without competing with the colorful imagery.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features a vivid palette of sky blue, sunshine yellow, architectural greens, and warm terracotta orange, anchored by crisp white borders and deep black outlines. When choosing surrounding wall colors or trim, soft off-whites and pale creams provide a clean backdrop that lets the central design stand out. For a more cohesive room scheme, you can pull the warm ochre or muted terracotta tones from the lettering into surrounding accents, painted doors, or textiles.
