Wallpaper - Greetings from Dickinson - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Dickinson wallpaper brings mid-century graphic travel art to life on a bold, architectural scale. Designed in the classic 1940s screenprint postcard style by The Tichnor Brothers, large block lettering spells out Dickinson, with each letter housing distinct vignettes of local buildings, townscapes, and open landscapes. A vivid gradient transitions smoothly from sunny yellow to cornflower blue across the background, framed by crisp red and black dimensional outlines. Made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and completely PVC-free, our wallpaper has a subtle paper structure that gives this graphic Americana design a clean, authentic visual feel across an accent wall.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal typography and scenic letter fills, we see this mural working best where it can be appreciated in full. It is an expressive choice for a living room, hallway, or home study, especially on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the complete word and its individual illustrated scenes remain visible without being broken up by tall cabinetry. In a holiday home or entryway, this wallpaper makes an immediate visual statement, welcoming guests with graphic warmth and nostalgic character. We particularly like placing it opposite natural light, where the gradient shift between yellow and cornflower blue stays crisp and vibrant.

Styling it

The graphic presence and vivid retro palette of this design mean surrounding elements can stay relatively grounded:

• Ground the space with mid-century or retro wooden furniture in warm oak or teak, which complements the nostalgic 1940s graphic character.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large textiles simple and monochrome, such as off-white, oatmeal, or navy, letting the detailed typography remain the focal point.
• Balance the bold outlines and primary accents with understated matte black or brass lighting fixtures rather than competing patterned decor.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a bright core palette of cornflower blue, golden yellow, clear red, and black. When working around our wallpaper, we suggest picking out the deeper tones rather than matching every bright shade. A soft warm off-white or light stone on neighbouring walls keeps the room feeling airy while allowing the yellow and blue gradient to stand out. For joinery, trim, or accent furniture, deeper navy blue or warm charcoal works wonderfully to echo the dark lettering borders, while small touches of muted crimson or mustard can tie secondary decor effortlessly into the artwork.
