Wallpaper - Greetings from teh Dam - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Dam wallpaper captures the impressive architectural scale of a massive curved concrete dam set across a rugged gorge. Designed with the distinctive aesthetic of a vintage 1930s screenprint postcard by The Tichnor Brothers, the artwork balances graphic industrial lines with soft landscape elements. Pale concrete railings and subtle structural details frame deep blue water and powder blue skies, bordered by earthy, rocky hills. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, each order is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, bringing a unique historical character to the home.

In the room

The expansive horizontal perspective makes this design an exceptional choice for wider, uninterrupted wall areas. In a living room or a dedicated study, placing the mural across the main feature wall gives the architectural curve room to breathe, drawing the eye naturally across the canyon panorama. Because the composition carries distinct visual weight in its lower half and opens into calm sky above, it sits comfortably behind low-profile furniture such as a sofa or a streamlined desk without obscuring the core landscape. In a hallway or entryway, the sweeping scale adds depth, creating a striking focal point as you move through the space.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this architectural screenprint with mid-century or modern furnishings that echo its structured lines. Low-slung seating and clean-edged tables keep the sightlines open, allowing the full width of the gorge and dam to take centre stage.

To complement the retro print quality, warm wooden furniture in teak, walnut, or oak creates an appealing balance against the cool concrete and water tones. Keeping surrounding textiles relatively quiet in unpatterned weaves prevents the space from feeling visually busy, letting the graphic details of the wallpaper define the room.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on cool powder blues, deep water tones, and pale concrete, grounded by earthy buffs and muted rock shades. To create a cohesive scheme, consider drawing out the earthy hues on adjacent walls with warm sand, stone, or muted terracotta paint. Alternatively, pairing the mural with soft off-white or light slate blue woodwork enhances the crisp lines of the sky and architectural railings while maintaining an airy, balanced atmosphere.
