Wallpaper - Greetings from the Monarchs - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Monarchs wallpaper brings together three celebrated New York landmarks in a vintage postcard screenprint composition by The Tichnor Brothers. The design presents the Chrysler Building with its Art Deco spire on the left, Rockefeller Center in the centre, and the Empire State Building on the right, set against a soft sky blue backdrop with gentle white clouds. What we particularly like is the balance between the graphic architectural silhouettes and the nostalgic pastel palette, giving the city view a distinctive mid-century character. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an engaging sense of architectural heritage to an interior wall.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a living room, home office, or dedicated study where the three vertical skyscraper panels can be appreciated across a main wall. Because the composition is arranged across distinct architectural sections, giving it a wider uninterrupted wall allows the full tripartite sequence to unfold naturally. In a study or home office, placing the mural behind a desk creates a focused, graphic backdrop that draws the eye upward with the vertical lines of the towers. In a living room setting, positioning the design along the primary feature wall gives the space a clear focal point while keeping the room feeling airy, thanks to the open expanse of pale blue sky across the upper half of the motif.

Styling it

To complement the 1930s screenprint aesthetic, we would pair this design with clean-lined mid-century furniture or classic heritage pieces that echo its vintage architectural spirit. Streamlined wooden desks, tailored seating in neutral tones, and simple shelving work well alongside the bold vertical lines without competing for attention. We suggest keeping surrounding accents relatively quiet, perhaps incorporating subtle dark metal lighting fixtures or simple picture framing elsewhere in the room to mirror the defined linework within the print.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a soft sky blue ground complemented by pastel accents and the tonal architectural colours of the skyscrapers. To create a balanced scheme around it, we suggest pairing the wall mural with surrounding walls in off-white, pale chalk, or soft stone tones that let the blue sky stand out gently. For woodwork, trim, and adjacent painted surfaces, a deeper slate grey, muted navy, or charcoal can pick up the graphic details of the building silhouettes, while muted warm neutrals across larger textiles help anchor the space.
