Wallpaper - Penn Waters - Screenprint Postcard

Our Penn Waters wallpaper brings the graphic charm of a mid-century scenic screenprint into a classic landscape composition. Originating from artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, the design captures a winding blue river carving its way through layered fields of green, warm yellow, and earthy brown. On the left, a rocky cliffside framed with red floral accents and rich foliage hosts a quiet figure beneath an evergreen tree, while soft blue and pale yellow tones open up the sky. Our made-to-measure wallpaper is PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its pictorial depth and panoramic sweep, we especially like this mural on an expansive, uninterrupted wall where the river and distant hills can stretch out across the room. In a living room, placing it behind a main sofa anchors the seating area with an inviting outdoor view.

The calm, scenic character also makes it a wonderful fit for a bedroom behind the headboard, or along a quiet reading wall in a study or home library. In a dining room or entry hall, the vintage travel aesthetic establishes a warm, nostalgic mood as soon as you step inside. If your space has good daylight, the contrast between the cornflower blues in the water and the sunny yellow fields becomes particularly vivid.

Styling it

The screenprinted illustration style pairs naturally with Americana, rustic, and traditional interior spaces, as well as mid-century settings that welcome vintage graphic art.

We suggest balancing the visual detail of the landscape with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes. Warm wood furniture, such as honey pine, maple, or walnut, complements the earthy tones of the fields and rock formations without competing for attention. Keeping surrounding upholstery and drapery in solid, textured neutrals lets the colorful scenery remain the primary focal point of the room.

Color combinations

The palette in our design centers on cornflower blue and soft sky tones balanced by earthy moss greens, rich browns, ochre yellows, and small touches of red foliage.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, warm off-whites, pale cream, or muted linen shades keep the atmosphere bright and open. If you want a more enveloping, moody room, pulling a deep forest green or dusty river blue from the mural onto surrounding millwork creates a cohesive and tailored backdrop.
