Wallpaper - Greetings from South Carolina - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from South Carolina wallpaper brings the graphic energy of a mid-century souvenir postcard straight to the wall. Created by The Tichnor Brothers in a classic 1940s screenprint style, the design features bold, oversized lettering where each character frames a distinctive local landmark, from coastal lighthouses and bridges to historic architecture. Anchored by the South Carolina State Capitol in Columbia, the composition is set against an expressive purple and orange diamond backdrop, accented by bright yellow jasmine blooms. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, it adds vibrant Americana character with a subtle physical structure in the wallpaper paper.

In the room

This is one of our most graphic mural wallpapers, designed to make an immediate statement rather than sit quietly in the background. Because the typography and scenic vignettes require visual breathing room, we see it working particularly well on a main feature wall in an open living room, hallway, or dedicated home study. It also feels completely at home in a holiday home or games room where nostalgic travel themes can take centre stage.

To get the most out of the scenic details within each letter, we recommend hanging this design on a relatively uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal postcard layout remains clearly visible. In rooms with higher ceilings, the large geometric diamond framing gives the wall a strong sense of vertical balance, while the saturated colours hold their depth effectively under both bright daylight and focused evening spotlighting.

Styling it

When styling a room around a piece with this much visual punch, we like to let the wallpaper carry the pattern and keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded.

Mid-century modern silhouettes, vintage Americana accents, and clean retro lines complement the 1940s screenprint aesthetic naturally. For furniture, warm timber tones like teak or medium oak work well alongside the warm orange and yellow accents in the print. To balance the saturated palette, we suggest choosing upholstery in textured neutral fabrics, or introducing dark metal accents that echo the crisp typographic outlines of the print.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a rich, saturated palette of vibrant purple and deep orange, punctuated by sunny yellow jasmine flowers and multi-toned architectural vignettes.

To create a cohesive interior, we suggest drawing out one of the secondary tones for surrounding painted surfaces. A soft, warm off-white or muted cream on adjacent walls keeps the room feeling bright and open while letting the central motif pop. If you prefer a bolder, more enveloping scheme, styling surrounding woodwork or cabinetry in a deep navy, warm ochre, or slate blue creates a considered, design-led connection to the illustrated lettering.
