Wallpaper - Greetings from Chapman - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Chapman wallpaper brings the nostalgic atmosphere of a mid-century car showroom to life with vintage screenprint character. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the artwork captures four brightly coloured classic cars positioned behind tall showroom glass, lit beneath warm interior lighting and framed by retro dealership signage. Deep orange and dark red-orange architectural trim anchor the composition, while popping primary and secondary car tones create a vibrant visual rhythm. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle physical structure in the paper, this design makes an expressive statement on feature walls across modern residential interiors.

In the room

We see this design working especially well as an accent wall in a living room, home office, or a dedicated garage space. Because the motif is structured around architectural perspectives and distinct vintage typography, it benefits from a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall area where the full showroom facade can unfold without being heavily obscured by tall bookcases or bulky cupboards. In a study or workspace, placing the wallpaper behind a low desk creates a graphic backdrop that brings personality and warmth into the room without overwhelming the rest of the layout.

Styling it

The distinct 1950s screenprint aesthetic naturally complements mid-century modern and contemporary interior styles. We would pair the wallpaper with furniture that has clean, low profiles and simple silhouettes so the graphic lines of the motif remain the central focus.

• Choose warm mid-toned woods such as teak or warm walnut to echo the rich architectural tones of the showroom structure.
• Balance the vibrant car colours by keeping surrounding upholstery and larger rugs relatively neutral, leaning into charcoal, warm grey, or muted cream.
• Incorporate subtle black metal accents in task lighting or chair frames to pick up the defined graphic outlines throughout the print.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a base of dark orange and rich red-orange architectural framing, set against the bright pops of blue, red, green, and warm yellow on the vehicles. To create a balanced scheme across the wider room, we suggest pulling out the deeper background shades for adjacent painted walls or woodwork. Soft warm greys, muted stone, or off-white work particularly well on neighbouring surfaces, allowing the bold showroom lights and vehicle colours to stand out comfortably. For accent pieces, muted petrol blue or olive green offers a considered connection to the cars in the showroom display.
