Wallpaper - Greetings from Birmingham - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Birmingham wallpaper brings mid-century Americana directly to the wall with a classic large-letter postcard composition by The Tichnor Brothers. The dynamic lettering angles across the surface, with each dimensional letter in "BIRMINGHAM" displaying local landmarks, historic architecture, and scenic views. A bold red "ALABAMA" anchors the lower section, set against a graphic backdrop of diagonal pastel stripes in sunshine yellow, soft pink, and muted blue with a screenprint-like visual texture. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings graphic charm and vibrant character into any interior.

In the room

Because of its strong graphic layout and central typography, this wall mural works exceptionally well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the complete lettering can be read without interference. In a living room, placing it behind a low-backed sofa or along a main focal wall allows the detailed landmark vignettes inside each letter to be appreciated up close. The strong diagonal lines and bright palette give the room a clear visual focal point, making it particularly effective in open-plan areas where a defined zone needs personality and warmth.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with mid-century modern or retro-inspired furnishings that echo its 1940s origins. Clean-lined furniture in warm wood tones, such as teak or walnut, complements the vintage print aesthetic without competing for attention.

To keep the space balanced, let the mural wallpaper carry the primary visual interest. Choose upholstered seating in solid neutral fabrics or textured weaves, and incorporate subtle metal accents in aged brass or matte black through lighting fixtures to ground the vibrant yellow and red tones.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by bright sunshine yellow, vintage red, and soft pastel blues and pinks, complemented by the muted architectural tones inside the letters.

For adjacent walls and painted trim, soft off-white or light warm grey creates a crisp, clean surround that lets the central colors stand out. If you want a more immersive, colorful environment, picking up the dusty blue or soft yellow from the diagonal background stripes on adjacent surfaces creates a cohesive, retro-inspired color scheme.
