Wallpaper - Greetings from the UN - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the UN - Screenprint Postcard wallpaper brings classic mid-century graphic design to the wall with the distinctive look of a vintage souvenir postcard. Bold, three-dimensional lettering spells out "Greetings from the United Nations New York City", with each individual letter window showcasing detailed architectural scenes and interior views of the iconic UN headquarters. A vivid sky blue backdrop radiates with bright yellow sun rays, while crisp red and black outlines give the large-scale typography remarkable graphic punch. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our design provides an expressive visual statement with straightforward installation.

In the room

Because of the prominent graphic lettering and central architectural vignettes, we see this wall mural performing at its best on an open, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. In a home office or study, positioning the design behind a desk or along a main workspace wall allows the detailed postcard scenes inside each letter to remain clearly visible and engaging. It also works brilliantly in a home library or reading room, where the historical mid-century character complements rows of books. For spaces with standard or higher ceilings, giving the wallpaper enough horizontal room ensures the full typographic phrase has space to unfold without being heavily obscured by tall bookcases or bulky cupboards.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic quality and nostalgic aesthetic of this design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined mid-century modern or retro-inspired furniture.

• Combine the mural with warm mid-tone woods such as teak or warm birch, which echo the authentic 1950s print character without competing with the vibrant print.
• Choose understated desk and seating shapes with slender metal legs or clean geometric profiles to keep the lower half of the wall visually light.
• Introduce decorative objects and soft furnishings in solid, unpatterned textures, letting the detailed typography and postcard imagery act as the primary visual focus in the room.

Colour combinations

The design is defined by its saturated sky blue background, sunny yellow rays, and popping red letter accents, grounded by deep black outlines and multi-toned architectural details. When considering the rest of the room, we suggest keeping adjacent walls in a crisp off-white or light warm grey to allow the blue backdrop to stand out cleanly. For accent pieces, pulling out small touches of primary red or mustard yellow through desk lamps, cushions, or artwork frames creates a cohesive scheme that celebrates the retro graphic palette.
