Wallpaper - Greetings from Lexington - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Lexington wallpaper brings the energetic charm of a classic mid-century souvenir postcard straight to the wall. Created in the signature large-letter style by The Tichnor Brothers, the design spells out "Greetings from Lexington Virginia," with each block letter framing an illustrated local landmark, historic building, statue, or lively marching band scene. Behind the bold lettering, dynamic diagonal bands of sunshine yellow, soft green, and pink create a vibrant screenprint-inspired backdrop. Produced as custom made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design gives any interior an unmistakable vintage character.

In the room

Because the design centers around a single panoramic composition, we see this working best on an open, relatively uninterrupted feature wall where the full typography and detailed letter vignettes can be appreciated from edge to edge. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a main seating area or along a long side wall creates an immediate focal point that anchors the entire space. The bold graphic structure holds up well across wider horizontal wall dimensions, while the individual miniature illustrations invite closer viewing when you step up to the wall.

Styling it

We recommend balancing the vibrant graphic quality of this mural with understated, grounded interior choices. Clean-lined mid-century modern or contemporary furniture pieces keep the room feeling curated rather than overly busy. Low-profile seating in neutral fabrics allows the lettering and horizontal motion of the diagonal bands to stand out without competing for visual dominance. Warm wood tones, such as honey oak or walnut, pair naturally with the 1940s vintage aesthetic of the artwork. Keep secondary wall decor and busy patterns to a minimum, letting the wallpaper act as the primary visual statement in the room.

Color combinations

The palette in this design is led by a bright sunshine yellow base paired with pastel pink, leaf green, and crisp white lettering outlines. To create a cohesive look across the rest of the room, you can draw from the softer tones in the background stripes. A gentle off-white, muted warm cream, or pale sage green on adjacent painted walls and trim will complement the lively artwork without overpowering it. For accents in cushions, throws, or decorative ceramics, subtle pops of mustard yellow or dusty rose tie directly back into the print's screenprinted character.
