Wallpaper - Greetings from Charleston - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Charleston wallpaper draws inspiration from classic mid-century screenprint travel postcards, created by The Tichnor Brothers. Set against a soft sky-blue backdrop, the large graphic lettering spells out "CHARLESTON" with dimensional orange and black drop shadows, filled with miniature vignettes of historic landmarks, bridge views, and architectural scenery. We produce our wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it straightforward to bring a nostalgic travel feel into your interior.

In the room

Because this design features a single bold typographic focal point, we like giving it a clear, uninterrupted accent wall where the full lettering can spread out comfortably. It works particularly well in a living room, hallway, home office, or a vacation home setting where vintage Americana and travel themes feel right at home. In a study or entryway, positioning the mural wallpaper above lower paneling or behind a low console table keeps the detailed scenes inside each letter easily visible and unblocked.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furniture clean and graphic to balance the bold mid-century postcard aesthetic. Mid-century modern wooden pieces in warm oak or teak echo the orange drop-shadow accents in the lettering nicely, while simple black metal frames or iron lamp bases pull from the crisp black outlines of the type. Letting the rest of the room remain relatively understated gives the mural wall plenty of visual breathing room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a soft sky-blue ground, vivid orange and yellow shading, and the rich green, slate, and brick tones within the scenic illustrations. On adjacent walls, crisp off-white or light warm cream provides a fresh, clean backdrop that lets the central blue pop. For a cozier or more graphic interior, deep navy or slate blue on adjoining trim creates an intentional, tailored frame around the artwork.
