Wallpaper - Greetings from Santa Fe - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Santa Fe wallpaper captures the energetic visual character of a classic 1940s screenprint souvenir postcard by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, blocky lettering spelling out the city name serves as individual windows into Southwestern heritage, framing scenes of adobe architecture with hanging red ristras, traditional pottery shaping, weaving, handcrafted jewellery, and historic landmarks. Set against a vivid red and warm yellow backdrop with bold typography, this design brings narrative richness and graphic presence to an accent wall. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of its expressive scale and pictorial lettering, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full typography and detailed inset scenes can be seen clearly. In a living room, placing the design behind a main seating area or across a feature wall immediately establishes a warm, characterful focal point without needing additional wall art. It also translates beautifully into a vacation home or an open-plan lounge where you want the decor to celebrate travel, craft, and architectural history. Giving the design enough breathing space allows each illustrated letter to tell its individual story within the wider room.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork take centre stage, we would pair this design with clean-lined furnishings and grounded materials that echo its Southwestern roots.

• Choose warm wood furniture or mid-century pieces whose understated forms balance the energetic print without competing for visual attention.
• Incorporate woven textiles or plain, earthy upholstery that subtly reference the craft scenes illustrated inside the lettering.
• Keep surrounding decorative items relatively minimal and purposeful, allowing the rich storytelling in the mural to anchor the entire space.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by vibrant red, sunny yellow, and deep graphic contrast, balanced by the natural terracotta, adobe earth tones, and turquoise highlights found inside the vignettes. When choosing surrounding colours for adjacent walls, trim, or large furniture, warm off-whites, sandy beiges, or muted clay tones work exceptionally well to soften the transition. If you prefer a bolder interior palette, pulling a deep rust or a warm ochre from the background creates an immersive, cocooning feel across the rest of the room.
