Wallpaper - Greetings from Gulfstream Park - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Gulfstream Park - Screenprint Postcard wallpaper captures the animated atmosphere of mid-century Florida racing in the distinctive style of vintage souvenir art. Designed from historic artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, this scenic mural wallpaper depicts jockeys and thoroughbreds in full stride along the sandy track, framed by swaying palms, a bustling grandstand, and distant sailboats on calm blue water. Rich sky blues, lush foliage greens, and warm earth tones create an energetic yet harmonious visual story across the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper structure, our wallpaper brings narrative depth and authentic retro character to any residential interior.

In the room

Because this design presents a broad pictorial narrative, we see it working especially well across a wider, uninterrupted wall in a living room or a dedicated home library. The horizontal movement of the racing horses and the layering of background water and sky benefit from space to breathe, allowing the eye to travel across the entire illustrated scene.

In a spacious living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa lets the upper composition of palms, grandstands, and bright sky remain fully visible. For a home library, it adds a touch of classic sporting heritage, giving the room a distinctive sense of time and place without overwhelming surrounding shelving.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this scenic wallpaper with understated, heritage-inspired furnishings that complement its vintage illustrative quality:

• Choose warm mid-tone wood furniture, such as walnut or warm teak, to echo the sandy tones of the racetrack and ground the energetic motif.
• Keep surrounding upholstery relatively simple in solid, textured neutrals like woven linen or soft wool to avoid visual competition with the detailed racing scene.
• Bring in brushed brass or muted bronze accents on lighting and hardware to harmonise naturally with the warm 1940s postcard aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The design itself features a balanced palette of sky blue, rich grass greens, earthy track browns, and lively pops of primary colour on the jockeys' silks.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and trim, we suggest drawing directly from the softer background tones. An off-white or soft warm stone on adjacent walls keeps the space feeling bright and lets the wallpaper take centre stage. For a bolder, more enveloping feel, a muted sage green or dusty vintage blue drawn from the foliage and water creates a seamless, cohesive transition.
