Wallpaper - Greetings from Lake George - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Lake George design captures the vibrant, nostalgic character of classic mid-century Americana travel postcards. Created in collaboration with The Tichnor Brothers archive, this design showcases bold block lettering spelling out "Greetings From Lake George N.Y.", with miniature scenic vistas of lakes, mountains, historic architecture, and local landmarks nested inside each letter. A dramatic burst of colorful rays in orange, yellow, green, and purple radiates outward from the central typography, framed by an authentic screenprint-style visual texture. Produced as custom made-to-measure wallpaper murals, each piece is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the colorful graphic motif.

In the room

Because this design functions as a large-scale graphic artwork, we find it works best on an open, uninterrupted feature wall where the complete lettering and surrounding sunburst can be viewed as a single composition. In a vacation home living area, cabin entryway, or hallway, the bold typography immediately establishes a lively, nostalgic focal point. The horizontal spread of the postcard format naturally anchors wider wall sections, such as behind a low-profile sofa, a bench in an entrance area, or across an open dining space.

For smaller rooms or entryways, giving the design a clear focal wall prevents the vibrant palette from feeling overwhelming while still bringing immense personality into the space. We recommend keeping adjacent walls relatively simple so the graphic lettering remains the primary visual statement.

Styling it

When styling a room around this design, we prefer balancing its energetic mid-century aesthetic with grounded, understated furniture and complementary vintage elements:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm, natural wood finishes like pine, birch, or mid-toned oak, which complement the rustic, scenic subject matter without competing for visual attention.
• Incorporate simple retro or mid-century modern furniture shapes with clean silhouettes to echo the 1940s travel art aesthetic without cluttering the room.
• Choose neutral, textured fabrics such as woven cotton or coarse linen for upholstery and cushions to soften the graphic boldness of the typography.
• Accent with matte ceramic or vintage-inspired metal lighting fixtures to maintain an authentic, relaxed cabin or lakeside atmosphere.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Lake George design is defined by popping, saturated tones, featuring radiant orange, warm golden yellow, grassy green, and deep violet-purple set against the scenic blue and earth tones inside the lettering.

To create a balanced environment, we suggest surrounding the mural with softer, neutral wall paint such as warm off-white, light canvas beige, or a very gentle sand tone. If you want to carry the wallpaper's energy into surrounding elements, pull one specific accent color, such as the muted forest green or warm ochre from the postcard scenes, into smaller details like a throw pillow, painted woodwork, or simple decorative pottery.
