Wallpaper - Greetings From Chicago - Screenprint

Our Greetings From Chicago - Screenprint wallpaper brings mid-century travel nostalgia to the wall with bold red and white lettering arched across iconic Windy City landmarks. The vintage postcard collage composition features Union Station, the Adler Planetarium, historic skyscrapers, and grand fountains under a bright blue sky, rendered with the graphic character of a classic screenprint. Cherry red script creates a striking focal point against the detailed cityscape, lending authentic retro charm to an entryway or vacation home. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because the motif is designed as a dynamic, layered travel postcard, we recommend giving this wall mural an uninterrupted accent wall where the full composition and bold lettering can be appreciated without tall furniture cutting across the landmarks. It makes an immediate graphic statement in a front entryway or hallway, setting a welcoming, vintage tone the moment you step through the door. In a living area or vacation home, placing the wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa or along a dedicated feature wall allows the architectural details and vivid blue sky to fill the room with nostalgic energy.

Styling it

To balance the expressive retro graphics and primary color accents, we suggest keeping adjacent furniture clean-lined and understated. Mid-century modern furniture shapes in warm wood tones, such as teak or walnut, naturally complement the 1940s travel poster aesthetic without competing for attention. Simple black metal accents or quiet brass hardware on lighting fixtures can subtly anchor the room while letting the screenprint artwork remain the centerpiece.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by vibrant cherry red lettering and a bright sky blue backdrop, balanced with soft whites, stone architectural grays, and deep navy accents in the city collage. When choosing surrounding wall colors or trim, warm off-whites, soft creams, or muted slate grays create a calm frame that lets the red script pop. If you want a richer palette, pairing adjacent walls with a deep navy or a subdued warm gray echoes the tonal depth of the buildings in the print.
