Wallpaper - Greetings from Forsyth - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Forsyth wallpaper captures the classic look of a 1940s American screenprint postcard by The Tichnor Brothers. Large block letters spelling out Forsyth take centre stage, with each letter containing colourful miniature scenes of local buildings, green trees, and a winding river. A deep blue sky forms the background, framed by radiant rays in warm orange and soft purple, while the word Montana anchors the bottom in striking black and yellow. The graphic print style, clear typography, and lively palette give this design an unmistakably nostalgic character. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the large-scale typography and detailed letter vignettes form a single, cohesive graphic, we find this mural works best on a prominent feature wall where the full lettering remains unobstructed. It brings great character to a home office or study, serving as an engaging focal point behind a desk. In a living room or hallway, giving the design an uninterrupted wall allows the balance between the radiant sky and the ground typography to be appreciated from across the room. The blend of rich blues and warm sunrise rays creates a welcoming visual atmosphere without overwhelming medium or larger spaces.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic quality of the postcard artwork, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Mid-century modern sideboards, tailored sofas, or dark wood desks sit naturally alongside the 1940s aesthetic. Selecting furniture in deeper walnut tones or warm leather provides a solid grounding that complements the bold black lettering at the base, while avoiding overly busy decorative patterns on nearby upholstery keeps the visual focus firmly on the wall mural.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a vibrant foundation of deep blue, vivid orange, purple, sunny yellow, crisp white, black, and lush green. For adjacent painted walls, soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted cream shades help the rich background blue pop cleanly. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping scheme, drawing out the deeper navy from the sky or echoing the warm ochre tones in surrounding painted woodwork creates a tailored, cohesive interior.
