Wallpaper - Take a Hike - Screenprint Postcard

Our Take a Hike - Screenprint Postcard wallpaper captures a tranquil lakeside vista framed by tall, upright tree trunks and lush foreground greenery. A small yellow rowing boat rests quietly along the water’s edge, adding a bright focal accent against the calm blue lake and gentle rolling hills in the background. Inspired by vintage Americana postcards from The Tichnor Brothers, the design features a distinctive screenprint-like visual texture with layered greens, earthy brown tree bark, and a soft blue sky with wispy clouds. Printed to order on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper brings an open, scenic horizon to interior walls.

In the room

Because the composition uses strong vertical tree trunks to frame a distant landscape, we find it works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full scenic depth can unfold. In a living room or study, placing this wallpaper behind a sofa or low desk lets the shoreline and water remain in view while the tall canopy extends toward the ceiling. In a bedroom, the soothing outdoor motif creates an inviting focal point behind the headboard. The balanced tonal transitions between the blue water and earthy foliage also make it well suited to a dining room or home office where you want to introduce visual depth without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

• Pair the wallpaper with warm wood furniture, such as walnut or mid-toned timber, which naturally complements the earthy brown tones of the tree trunks in the illustration.
• Choose clean-lined, low-profile seating to keep the lower lake scene and boat visible, allowing the horizontal waterline to balance the room.
• Incorporate simple textiles in woven textures or muted greens and off-whites to let the pictorial detail of the mural remain the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres around rich forest greens, earthy walnut browns, and serene lake blues, accented by the pop of yellow on the boat. For surrounding walls, woodwork, and large surfaces, we suggest pairing this design with muted sage greens, warm off-whites, or soft ochre accents that pick up on the subtle highlights in the landscape. Deeper charcoal or muted navy on adjacent trim can also help frame the scenic mural and ground the room.
