Wallpaper - Greetings from El Paso - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from El Paso wallpaper brings classic mid-century travel art into a bold, large-scale format. Inspired by vintage 1940s screenprint postcards by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features oversized block lettering filled with vivid local vignettes: desert flora, city structures, mountain vistas, and a cowboy on a bucking horse. Arched text announces "GREETINGS from" across the top against an open sky blue, anchored below by a rich golden-yellow border. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, this PVC-free design features a subtle paper texture that gives the retro illustrative artwork an authentic, tactile appearance on the wall.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal graphic structure and prominent typography, we see this design working best on an open, uninterrupted accent wall in a living room, hallway, or vacation home. In a spacious living room, placing the mural behind a low-backed sofa allows the full lettering and scenic details inside each letter to remain visible without being cut off by taller furniture. The bright sky blue and sunny yellow tones bring an uplifting, graphic energy to social gathering areas, while the nostalgic Americana motif adds distinct character to an entryway or open-plan family space.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork stand out naturally, we suggest pairing this design with relaxed, mid-century or retro-inspired furnishings.

• Choose low-profile furniture in warm woods such as teak, walnut, or honey oak to complement the 1940s illustrative aesthetic without competing with the bold lettering.
• Incorporate simple leather upholstery, woven accents, or clean-lined seating to anchor the vibrant color scheme.
• Keep surrounding accessories understated, balancing the busy scenes inside the typography with solid-color textiles and clean architectural lines.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a vivid palette centered on sky blue, bright yellow, and desert green, with punchy accents of red, terracotta, and soft mountain neutrals inside the lettering. For adjacent painted walls, soft off-whites, creamy linen tones, or muted warm sands work wonderfully to let the wall murals take center stage. If you prefer a richer look, pulling out the warm golden yellow or deep southwestern terracotta for accent decor, painted trim, or nearby cabinetry creates a cohesive and colorful interior.
