Wallpaper - Greetings from Valley City - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Valley City wallpaper captures classic Americana with a mid-century postcard aesthetic originally created by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, block-cut letters spell out the city name, each filled with detailed views of local architecture, river crossings, and prominent historic buildings. The background features a sweeping graphic gradient of warm orange and cornflower blue with a subtle screenprint-inspired texture throughout. As with all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall specifications and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the design operates as a single graphic focal point, we see this working best on an accent wall in a living room, home library, or dedicated study. The large block lettering and rich pictorial elements inside each character make the wall mural feel like an oversized piece of vintage travel art. It naturally commands attention, so giving it an open, relatively unobstructed wall allows the full typography and architectural vignettes to be appreciated from across the room.

Styling it

We recommend balancing the bold graphic style of the mural wallpapers with grounded, understated furnishings so the artwork remains the central feature:

• Pair the vibrant colours with warm mid-toned wood furniture, such as a vintage teak sideboard or a simple oak bookshelf.
• Choose upholstered pieces in neutral tones, like oatmeal or charcoal, which anchor the room without clashing with the bright typography.
• Incorporate simple lighting with clean metal accents to subtly complement the mid-century look of the postcard print.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a dynamic palette led by cornflower blue, warm orange, terracotta, and rich brick reds within the illustrated buildings. For adjacent walls, we suggest soft, muted shades such as an off-white, warm linen, or a gentle dusty blue that picks up on the gradient bands. If you prefer deeper contrast, a dark slate or rich navy can frame the wallpaper beautifully while letting the warm orange accents pop.
