Wallpaper - Greetings from St Louis - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from St Louis wallpaper captures the playful spirit of classic Americana with a design inspired by vintage 1930s linen screenprint postcards by The Tichnor Brothers. Set against a textured mid-blue backdrop with soft clouds, large dimensional block letters spell out the city name, with each letterform revealing a picturesque scene of St. Louis landmarks, historic architecture, lush park gardens, and river bridges. The combination of vivid sky blues, deep red drop shadows, and verdant greens gives the design a cheerful, retro graphic punch. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because of its bold typography and horizontal composition, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, entertaining space, or holiday home. The design carries substantial visual narrative, so giving it an uninterrupted wall area allows each letter vignette to be admired up close. In a living room, placing it behind a low-backed sofa or along a main focal wall creates an instant conversational backdrop. It also brings plenty of nostalgic personality to a creative home office or hallway where you want to make an immediate, welcoming impression.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork take centre stage, we suggest balancing the space with mid-century modern or retro-inspired furniture with clean silhouettes. Warm timber tones such as walnut or teak bring out the architectural hues in the illustration, grounding the vibrant print. You can introduce simple upholstery in neutral woven fabrics or muted leather to keep the surrounding scheme calm without competing with the dynamic letterforms. Matte black metal accents or simple industrial-style lighting will also echo the crisp typography and vintage print aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The palette is anchored by a solid cornflower blue background, energised by vivid crimson red shadows and crisp white highlights. Inside the letters, warm terracotta, earthy stone, and parkland greens provide natural warmth. To complement the mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing the surrounding walls with soft off-whites, warm biscuit neutrals, or a muted denim blue that gently echoes the backdrop. For a richer accent, deep navy or burnt orange through cushions, throws, or painted woodwork will tie the retro palette together seamlessly.
