Wallpaper - Greetings from the UN - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the UN - Screenprint Postcard wallpaper brings classic mid-century graphic design to the wall with the distinctive look of a vintage souvenir postcard. Created from work by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold, blocky letters spelling out "Greetings from the United Nations New York City," with individual architectural views and interior scenes of the UN headquarters set inside each letterform. A vibrant sky blue backdrop with radiating yellow sunburst rays creates strong graphic contrast against the deep red and black lettering outlines. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an authentic 1950s screenprint character to larger focal walls.

In the room

Because of the strong central typography and horizontal postcard composition, we see this wall mural working best on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full lettering can be viewed without being cut off by tall furniture or door frames. In a dedicated home office, study, or home library, it serves as an engaging graphic anchor behind a desk or low shelving. The high visual contrast and bold lettering make it an ideal feature wall choice, giving the room a clear architectural point of interest while maintaining an open, airy feeling thanks to the broad expanse of sky blue.

Styling it

The graphic quality of this retro screenprint postcard pairs naturally with mid-century modern and vintage-inspired interiors. We suggest choosing streamlined furniture with clean geometric lines, such as a low credenza or desk in warm teak or medium walnut, which anchors the bright palette of the wall. To maintain visual balance, keep surrounding accessories relatively simple and let the detailed imagery inside the lettering stand out. Matte black hardware or simple framed desk lighting can pick up on the black outlines in the print, while quiet, neutral textiles keep the focus squarely on the mural wallpaper.

Color combinations

The primary palette of our wallpaper is defined by vivid sky blue, golden yellow rays, crisp white, and graphic red and black accents. When decorating around it, we suggest pulling in warm neutrals such as soft off-white, light gray, or muted beige on adjacent painted walls to allow the central artwork to pop without overwhelming the room. If you want to carry the palette further into the decor, small accents in brick red, mustard, or navy blue on desk accessories, book bindings, or upholstery create a cohesive connection to the vintage screenprint colors.
