Wallpaper - Greetings from Odessa - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Odessa wallpaper brings the classic mid-century linen postcard style into large scale wall murals. Designed around the 1940s screenprint aesthetic by The Tichnor Brothers, the design spells out "Greetings from Odessa, Texas" in bold block lettering, with each letter framing architectural and local vignettes including City Hall, oil derricks, and sunny Texan landmarks. Set against a high-contrast orange and blue ground, this design carries a vibrant Americana spirit and a distinct retro character. Like all Wallism wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure according to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

Because this is a graphic mural wallpaper with a large central text motif, it works best when given an uninterrupted feature wall where the complete lettering can be taken in from a distance. In a living room, hallway, or home office, placing it behind a sofa, desk, or low credenza keeps the artwork clear of tall visual obstructions. The bold contrast between warm orange and saturated blue creates a focal point that naturally anchors an open living area or entryway, giving the space an energetic retro feel without requiring busy wall decor elsewhere.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furnishings relatively grounded to let the graphic character of the wallpaper lead the room. Mid-century modern shapes, vintage leather seating, or warm wood furniture in teak or walnut complement the 1940s roadside aesthetic naturally. For accents, simple matte ceramics or industrial-leaning metal lighting fixtures in dark finishes balance the bright screenprint colors without competing for attention.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built on a vibrant base of saturated orange, sky blue, golden yellow, and brick red. When choosing paint for neighboring walls and trim, we like pairing it with warm off-whites, soft sand, or muted cream to keep the room light and let the mural pop. If you want a moodier, more cohesive feel, drawing out the deep navy or dusky blue from the background for trim or lower wainscoting creates a tailored, period-appropriate frame for the artwork.
