Wallpaper - Greetings from the Race Track - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Race Track wallpaper captures the energetic atmosphere of vintage American thoroughbred racing in a classic postcard format. Featuring artwork by The Tichnor Brothers depicting Oak Lawn Race Track in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, the composition brings together a bustling grandstand, flying flags, towering pine trees, and thoroughbred horses thundering down the dirt track under a warm, pastel-tinted sky. The earthy palette combines rich pine green with dusty sand tones and muted architectural hues, offering a nostalgic character that stands out on a feature wall. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a living room where you want to introduce narrative and vintage character without overwhelming the space. Because the scene is structured as an expansive landscape with the architectural grandstand on one side and open track and pine trees on the other, it benefits from being placed on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. Giving the mural room to stretch across a primary wall allows the movement of the horses and the horizontal perspective to remain completely visible.

Styling it

To complement the nostalgic 1930s postcard aesthetic, we would pair this wallpaper with furnishings that reflect its heritage character. Dark or medium-toned woods, such as warm oak or walnut, echo the traditional feel of classic sporting artwork and balance the earthy tones in the print. Surrounding furniture is best kept relatively streamlined in profile so the lively race day illustration carries the visual interest in the room. Simple leather upholstery or tailored woven fabrics in muted tones will anchor the space while letting the architectural and landscape details of the design take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is grounded in earthy pine greens, warm sand, soft terracotta, and dusty sky tones. To build a cohesive room around it, consider pulling the soft cream or pale stone from the grandstand onto adjacent walls and woodwork for a light, balanced interior. If you prefer a richer and more intimate setting, deep forest or pine greens drawn directly from the surrounding trees make an excellent choice for surrounding paintwork, cabinetry, or trim.
