Wallpaper - Greetings from Wisconsin - Screenprint Postcard

Our vintage postcard design brings classic mid-century Americana directly to the wall. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the artwork features bold block lettering that spells out "WISCONSIN", with each character framing a distinct regional scene: dairy cows grazing in green pastures, historic architecture, lighthouses, sailboats on the water, and curing cheese wheels. The composition is anchored by an illustration of the State Capitol in Madison and delicate purple violets, the state flower, against a soft sky-blue backdrop with warm peach and yellow tones. Printed with a distinct screenprint-inspired texture, our custom made-to-measure wallpaper offers a nostalgic graphic focal point on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its expansive horizontal lettering and rich illustrative detail, this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full graphic composition can be appreciated without major breaks. We love how it functions in an entryway, welcoming guests with vintage charm and regional character right at the front door. It is also well suited for a vacation home, lakeside cabin, or casual family living space, where the retro travel motif adds personality and warmth. In rooms with ample daylight, the pastel blues, warm yellows, and soft greens stay crisp and distinct, while softer artificial lighting in the evening enhances the warm, nostalgic tones of the printed sky.

Styling it

To let the detailed postcard graphic remain the primary visual focus, we suggest pairing this design with relatively understated furnishings. Mid-century modern pieces, warm wood furniture, and clean-lined architectural shapes complement the 1940s travel aesthetic naturally.

• Pair with warm natural woods like cherry, walnut, or vintage oak to echo the nostalgic mid-century feel.
• Keep surrounding textiles simple and textured, utilizing woven neutral rugs and plain cotton or linen curtains rather than competing patterns.
• Incorporate vintage-inspired accents such as matte black hardware, classic ceramics, or retro travel accessories to reinforce the Americana theme.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a balanced palette of sky blue, warm peach, soft golden yellow, grassy green, and deep brick red, along with accents of lavender and violet.

To create a cohesive room scheme, consider using a soft warm white or pale sky blue on adjacent painted walls to continue the airy open feel of the background. If you prefer a richer, more grounded look, drawing out the deeper brick red or muted forest green for trim, baseboards, or a low credenza creates an intentional dialogue with the letter shading and landscape illustrations.
