Wallpaper - Greetings from Colorado - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Colorado wallpaper brings the graphic energy of a classic 1930s Americana screenprint postcard to a larger wall format. Designed by The Tichnor Brothers, the motif centres on bold block lettering spelling out "COLORADO", with each character revealing a distinct illustrated vignette, from soaring mountain peaks and a mountain goat to a waterfall, historic buildings, and the Colorado State Capitol, accented by the purple columbine flower. A soft gradient of sky blue, green, and warm orange sets a radiant backdrop behind the lettering, giving the composition its lively character. Our wall murals are made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the design functions as a complete graphic composition with strong horizontal presence, we find it works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full lettering can be read without tall furniture breaking up the scene. In a living room, hallway, or home office, placing this mural wallpaper behind a lower sofa, a desk, or an open entryway allows the vintage travel artwork to set the character of the space. It also feels naturally suited to a vacation home or a guest bedroom, where the pictorial details and scenic vignettes create an immediate talking point.

Styling it

The screenprint character and 1930s travel poster aesthetic pair naturally with mid-century modern, retro, and relaxed traditional interiors. To keep the focus firmly on the artwork, we suggest balancing the energetic typography with simple, clean-lined furnishings.

• Choose warm wood furniture, such as mid-tone oak or teak, to echo the retro feel without competing with the detailed illustrations.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger textiles in quiet neutrals or muted tones drawn from the artwork, allowing the vibrant lettering to stand out.
• Incorporate simple lighting that washes the wall evenly, ensuring the rich sky blues, warm oranges, and fine landscape details remain clear throughout the day.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper balances vibrant sky blues, leafy greens, and sunlit oranges against the deeper tones of the illustrated landmarks and the purple columbine flower. When decorating around the mural, we like using a soft off-white or light sand on adjacent walls and trim to provide a neutral frame. For accent pieces, cushions, or cabinetry, pulling a subtle slate blue or muted forest green from the mountain and landscape scenes creates a cohesive link throughout the room.
