Wallpaper - Penn Waters - Screenprint Postcard

Our Penn Waters - Screenprint Postcard wallpaper brings a scenic vintage landscape into the home with the unmistakable character of mid-century screenprinting. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features a winding blue river cutting through patchwork fields of green, yellow, and earthy brown tones. To the left, a rocky promontory dotted with red flora and pine trees frames a seated figure taking in the view beneath a soft, glowing sky. Printed as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our wallpapers are easy to hang and lend an artful, nostalgic feel to any interior.

In the room

We see this scenic design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, study, or dining room. Because the composition has a strong focal point on the left that opens up into broader river plains across the right, it naturally suits wider, uninterrupted walls where the full landscape narrative can unfold without being cut off by tall storage. In a home library or reading nook, the serene countryside motif creates an inviting backdrop behind a low armchair or desk. For an entryway or hallway staircase, the winding perspective of the river draws the eye inward, adding visual depth to transitional areas.

Styling it

To balance the graphic screenprint style and rich earthy palette, we suggest pairing this mural with understated, timeless furnishings.

• Choose warm or medium-toned wood furniture, such as vintage teak or quiet oak, which complements the retro 1950s Americana feel of the print without competing with its detailed line work.
• Use plain, textured upholstery in neutral shades like oatmeal or muted flax on sofas and chairs so the wall mural remains the primary visual feature in the room.
• Introduce modest metal accents in antique brass or darkened bronze to ground the warm yellow and blue tones in the sky and river.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centres on a harmonious blend of cornflower blue, mossy greens, sun-bleached yellows, and warm earthy browns, accented by subtle touches of red foliage. When decorating around it, we recommend pulling the softer sky tones onto adjacent painted walls using warm off-whites, pale cream, or a very gentle cornflower blue. For window trims, skirting boards, or built-in shelving, deeper moss greens or warm stone tones tie back into the landscape's grounding base, creating a cohesive and considered interior palette.
