Wallpaper - Greetings from Colorado - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Colorado wallpaper brings classic mid-century postcard art into the home with bold typography and rich vintage character. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers in the 1930s large-letter postcard style, the design features block lettering spelling out "COLORADO," with each character revealing distinct regional vignettes including mountain landscapes, a mountain goat, a waterfall, and historic landmarks. The Colorado State Capitol and the purple Columbine flower anchor the scene against a vibrant gradient of green, sky blue, and warm orange tones. Printed to your specific wall measurements on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this mural wallpaper offers an expressive graphic narrative on any accent wall.

In the room

This design works especially well as a focal point in a living room, hallway, home office, or vacation home where you want a playful sense of Americana and vintage travel nostalgia. Because the composition relies on large horizontal lettering and detailed scenic vignettes inside each letter, we recommend placing it on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full typography can be viewed from a comfortable distance.

In an entryway or living space, the vibrant sky blue, orange, and green tones create an engaging welcome without needing competing artwork nearby. For a study or vacation cabin, positioning the wallpaper behind a desk or sofa allows the detailed historic buildings and mountain illustrations to serve as an artistic backdrop that invites closer viewing.

Styling it

• Pair the graphic screenprint style with warm wood furniture, such as mid-century walnut, teak, or honey-toned pine, which harmonizes naturally with the rustic mountain imagery.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large furniture pieces in solid, neutral fabrics like oatmeal linen or dark denim blue so the detailed lettering remains the primary visual focus.
• Add simple vintage or industrial accents, like matte black light fixtures or aged bronze hardware, to echo the classic 1930s travel poster aesthetic.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a dynamic palette built on sky blue, grassy green, vibrant orange, purple accents from the Columbine flower, and warm earth tones throughout the landscape scenes.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls and trim, warm off-white or soft cream creates a balanced and airy frame for the bold lettering. If you want a more cohesive, enveloped look, pull a muted sky blue or a grounded sage green from the background gradient to paint neighboring walls or architectural millwork.
