Wallpaper - Greetings from Omaha - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Omaha wallpaper brings classic mid-century travel postcard art to a large wall scale. Created in the distinctive 1940s linen-postcard aesthetic by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features oversized 3D block lettering spelling out "OMAHA", with each letter framing a detailed local landmark: grand civic architecture, the Walnut Hill Reservoir, a lively downtown streetscape, a vintage propeller aeroplane, and an Art Deco theatre facade. Set against a vivid blue sky and a rich sunshine yellow gradient, this wall mural delivers graphic nostalgia and warm Americana charm. Printed custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, it makes a bold, cheerful focal point for any interior.

In the room

Because of its strong graphic composition and horizontal lettering, we see this design working best on an open, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing it behind a low-profile sofa or on a main display wall allows the full typographic span and individual miniature scenes within each letter to be easily appreciated.

It also brings wonderful personality to a home library, study, or creative studio, where the nostalgic travel theme and historic details add warmth and conversational interest. In rooms with generous natural daylight, the bright blue and sunshine yellow background tones appear crisp and lively, while softer ambient lighting in the evening brings out the warmer orange and terracotta hues across the 3D letter facets.

Styling it

When styling around such a colourful, illustrative piece, we recommend balancing the artwork's bold energy with clean-lined surrounding elements:

• Pair with mid-century modern furniture, such as warm teak, walnut, or oak pieces, which naturally echo the 1940s heritage of the artwork.
• Keep larger upholstered seating and area rugs in neutral tones like cream, oatmeal, or soft grey to let the vibrant mural wallpapers remain the undisputed visual centre of the room.
• Introduce subtle accents in matte black metal or industrial finishes through task lamps and shelving to ground the vibrant yellow and blue palette.

Colour combinations

The design itself is anchored by a dynamic palette of vivid sky blue and glowing sunshine yellow, highlighted with warm terracotta-orange on the lettering depth and contrasting black outlines. Within the letter vignettes, you will also find muted sage greens, stone beige, and slate blue.

To create a cohesive scheme around the wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with soft warm white or muted stone paint on adjacent walls. If you want to carry the artwork's warmth further into the space, accents in rich ochre, rust, or deep navy blue work exceptionally well on cushions, ceramics, and soft furnishings.
