Wallpaper - Greetings from Coeur d'Alene - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Coeur d'Alene wallpaper brings classic mid-century postcard aesthetics directly onto the wall. Created by The Tichnor Brothers in a 1940s screenprint style, the graphic centers on large block letters spelling out Idaho's famous lakeside destination. Each letter acts as a window into a scenic vignette, featuring peaceful lakes, sailing boats, evergreen forests, and regional landmarks. Soft powder blue, pale pink, and yellow tones blend across the background, balancing the vivid colors packed inside the typography. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

Because this design functions as a large-scale graphic artwork, we see it working particularly well on a dedicated focal wall. In an entryway or hallway, it sets an immediate, welcoming tone with its vintage travel character. The strong typography and scenic letter fills naturally draw the eye, so giving it an uninterrupted wall where the full phrase can be read across the room makes the most impact. It also feels right at home in a vacation home, guest room, or casual living space where you want the wall murals to introduce a sense of nostalgia and Americana.

Styling it

To let the graphic personality of the wallpaper stand out, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined mid-century or retro-inspired furniture. Simple pieces keep the surrounding space feeling uncluttered while complementing the 1940s origins of the design.

• Choose warm wood finishes, like teak or warm birch, to balance the vibrant lettering without competing with the illustration.
• Keep surrounding accessories understated, opting for simple ceramics or matte metal hardware that echo the nostalgic roadside-postcard era.
• Position the wallpaper along a wall that allows enough viewing distance so the large lettering and internal landscape details can be enjoyed together.

Color combinations

The wallpaper combines a soft base of powder blue, gentle yellow, and pale pink with punchier greens, deep blues, and warm tones nestled inside each letter. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or trim, off-whites, creamy ivories, or muted powder blues pick up on the background wash nicely and keep the atmosphere light. For furniture, cabinetry, or textiles, drawing out the deeper forest greens or lake blues from inside the letters adds visual weight and anchors the entire room.
