Wallpaper - Greetings from Augusta - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Augusta screenprint postcard wallpaper brings mid-century American travel nostalgia straight to your interior. Based on archival print work by The Tichnor Brothers, the design centres on bold block lettering spelling out Augusta, Georgia, with each oversized letter filled with scenic Southern vignettes including white homes, lush green trees, a winding river, and historic red brick architecture. Outlined in graphic orange and black against a soft sky-blue backdrop, this graphic mural wallpaper creates an immediate retro focal point. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the design operates as a singular, large-scale graphic composition, we see this working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, hallway, or home office. Giving the design a wider wall space allows the complete title lettering and the individual miniature landscapes inside each letter to remain fully visible. In a holiday home or open-plan living area, placing this wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa or along a main dining wall keeps the graphic typography clear of tall obstructions so the detailed scenes can be appreciated up close.

Styling it

To balance the bold retro lettering and vibrant Americana palette, we would keep surrounding furnishings relatively simple and grounded. Mid-century furniture with clean lines pairs naturally with the 1940s travel aesthetic, allowing the mural to serve as the dominant visual statement in the room.

Warm, natural timber finishes such as teak, walnut, or warm oak complement the earthy red and orange tones found within the illustration. For larger upholstery and textiles, neutral woven fabrics in warm off-white or soft grey provide a calm backdrop that lets the graphic typography stand out without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

Our design features a soft sky-blue ground paired with punchy orange and black outlines, alongside verdant greens, terracotta reds, and crisp whites inside the illustrated letters. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and cabinetry, a muted off-white or pale cream helps keep the room bright while echoing the architectural details within the postcard artwork.

If you prefer more depth, you could draw on the warm terracotta red or deep forest green from the internal vignettes for adjacent painted surfaces or accent textiles. For a fresher, airy feel, bringing in a gentle slate blue on surrounding trim creates a subtle tonal link with the sky-blue backdrop of the wallpaper.
