Wallpaper - Greetings from Santa Fe - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Santa Fe wallpaper draws on mid-century travel imagery with the distinctive character of a classic 1940s screenprint postcard by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, blocky lettering spelling out "SANTA FE" spans the center, with each individual letter framing a detailed vignette of Southwestern culture, including traditional adobe architecture draped with red chili ristras, handcrafted pottery, weaving, historic churches, and artisan jewelry making. Set against a bold background of rich red and sunny yellow with "NEW MEXICO" anchored below, this graphic composition carries a vibrant graphic presence. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our design brings historic character and narrative detail to an accent wall.

In the room

Because of the bold central lettering and the rich storytelling within each letterform, we see this wall mural working especially well on an uninterrupted focal wall in a living room, media room, or vacation home. The scale of the typography needs room to be seen as a cohesive composition, making a wide wall behind a low sofa or along a primary open wall an ideal location. If you are styling a lounge area or a family gathering space, placing this wallpaper where it can be viewed straight on allows all the smaller illustrative vignettes to be explored up close without tall furniture blocking the lower lettering.

Styling it

To let the expressive mid-century character and vivid colors of the design take center stage, we suggest pairing it with furniture that has clean silhouettes and grounded finishes.

• Choose warm wood furniture such as pine, walnut, or vintage oak to complement the Southwestern aesthetic and balance the vibrant background tones.
• Incorporate neutral upholstery in sand, oatmeal, or unbleached canvas to keep the surrounding room calm and let the detailed artwork provide the visual energy.
• Add accents made from natural clay pottery, matte black iron, or woven textiles to reflect the traditional craftsmanship depicted within the mural's lettering.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a bold, sun-drenched palette dominated by deep brick red, bright golden yellow, turquoise blue, terracotta, and crisp white highlights within the lettering. When choosing surrounding wall colors, cabinetry, or trim, we recommend pulling directly from these warmer undertones. Muted adobe beige, warm cream, or soft desert sand on adjacent walls create a harmonious backdrop that softens the high contrast of the primary design. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, a deep rust or warm terracotta on neighboring surfaces can tie the entire room together effortlessly.
