Wallpaper - Greetings from Mandan - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Mandan wallpaper reimagines the classic American mid-century large-letter postcard as an expressive feature mural. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design centres on bold three-dimensional block lettering spelling out "MANDAN", with each letter framing architectural and local vignettes including a vintage cinema theatre, classic cars, red-brick civic buildings, a bridge crossing the river, and an American flag. Beneath the bold typography, illustrated teepees sit in a sunlit plains landscape beneath an expansive sky-blue backdrop. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this wallpaper brings authentic retro Americana character to your interior.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, library, or home study where its graphic character can take centre stage. Because the composition relies on strong horizontal lettering and detailed pictorial scenes within each letter, we recommend placing it on an uninterrupted wall where the full typography remains unobstructed. In a living room, positioning the mural behind a low-backed sofa allows the upper illustrated lettering and open sky to remain fully visible. In a home library or reading room, pairing the wallpaper with open shelving on flanking walls helps frame the vintage postcard format without cutting into the central motif.

Styling it

To balance the energetic graphic print and historical artwork, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded with clean mid-century or traditional silhouettes.

• Pair with warm wood tones such as teak, oak, or dark walnut to complement the earthy landscape tones and vintage print aesthetic.
• Incorporate vintage-inspired leather upholstery or simple woven textiles that let the artwork serve as the main focal point of the room.
• Choose understated lighting with antique brass, bronze, or blackened metal fixtures that echo the historic period feel of the illustration.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette is defined by rich sky blue, warm terracotta reds, sunny yellows, earthy tan tones, and deep black outlining. To create a cohesive interior, we suggest pulling the warm cream and sandy beige tones from the lower landscape onto adjacent walls and skirting boards. Deep brick red or dusty navy accents in soft furnishings will naturally echo the vibrant tones within the letters, while a muted off-white ceiling helps keep the room open and airy around the saturated blue sky.
