Wallpaper - Greetings from the Lake - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Lake wallpaper brings a vintage postcard aesthetic into the home, capturing a stately lakeside manor illuminated beneath a nocturnal sky. Created from original artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, the composition balances architectural symmetry with surrounding nature, featuring classical white columns, warm glowing windows, and a terracotta-red roof reflected in the still water below. Rendered in a distinct 1930s screenprint style with flat fields of navy, midnight blue, black, and crisp white, this design carries a quiet, graphic presence on the wall. Produced to your exact measurements, our mural wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure that hangs cleanly.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want to introduce depth, architectural structure, and a calm, atmospheric mood. In a living room or a dedicated home library, giving the mural an uninterrupted feature wall allows the full reflection and water horizon to establish the room's visual balance. The deep navy and black tones anchor the space without overwhelming it, especially when positioned across from good natural light or framed by tall ceilings. Because the horizontal waterline creates a natural grounding line, we also like how this design looks along a staircase wall or in an entryway, where the perspective draws the eye inward as you move through the home.

Styling it

To complement the graphic heritage of the print, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture that has clean silhouettes and honest, grounding materials. Darker wood tones such as walnut or stained oak echo the shaded trees in the motif and help tie the wall into the rest of the room. Upholstery in warm neutral fabrics or deep rust accents connects naturally with the red roof and lighted windows, keeping the overall atmosphere warm rather than stark. Matte black or antique brass accents in floor lamps and hardware provide subtle structural contrast against the midnight blue backdrop.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around deep navy, midnight blue, deep charcoal, and contrasting crisp white, balanced by rich terracotta-red highlights in the roof and windows. On surrounding walls, adjacent trim, or ceiling surfaces, we recommend drawing from the soft whites and off-whites of the building's columns to maintain a crisp architectural frame. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, consider deep blue-grey or muted charcoal paint on adjacent woodwork to extend the evening atmosphere of the artwork throughout the room.
