Wallpaper - Greetings from Oregon Coast - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Oregon Coast wallpaper captures the expansive sweep of a coastal highway winding along steep rocky headlands and green hills, originally illustrated by The Tichnor Brothers in a classic vintage screenprint style. The composition pairs the deep blue Pacific Ocean and a pale cloud-scattered sky with rich earthy rock faces and warm accents of burnt orange. Printed to your exact dimensions, our made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals feature a subtle paper texture that complements the historic mid-century print character, making it a distinctive focal point for living rooms and relaxed home interiors.

In the room

Because of the sweeping panoramic horizon and the detailed road tracing the coastline, we like to see this design given an uninterrupted wall where the full landscape can unfold. In a living room, it works particularly well on the main wall behind a low sofa or along a dedicated feature wall where the visual depth can open up the space. The horizontal perspective creates a sense of openness, drawing the eye outward toward the ocean line.

If you are styling a holiday home or a coastal sitting room, this design anchors the entire room with its nostalgic travel character. The balance of warm earthy rocks and cool water ensures it adds presence without feeling heavy, while spaces with generous natural light help highlight the tonal contrast between the burnt orange terrain and the blue sea.

Styling it

The vintage screenprint aesthetic pairs naturally with retro and mid-century modern furniture shapes, especially low-profile seating and simple silhouettes that leave the landscape visible. We would keep the surrounding décor grounded with natural materials such as warm-toned timber, woven rattan, or matte terracotta pottery that echo the earthy cliffs depicted in the scene.

To let the scenic illustration lead, avoid overly patterned upholstery or busy shelving on the same wall. Instead, opt for plain woven fabrics, quiet textures, and simple black or bronze lighting fixtures that reflect the clean graphic outlines of 1930s postcard art.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on the interplay between deep ocean blue, soft sky tones, burnt orange, and rich earthy browns. To create a cohesive scheme around it, we recommend drawing from these landscape tones across your trim, woodwork, and neighbouring walls.

Off-whites, warm stone, and sandy beige on adjoining walls keep the room bright while letting the vibrant blues and oranges take centre stage. For a bolder, more enveloping feel, pulling a deep navy or a muted terracotta into surrounding accents, soft furnishings, or painted architectural features will tie the entire space back to the coastal print.
