Wallpaper - Greetings from Virginia - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Virginia wallpaper brings the bold energy of a classic mid-century large-letter postcard straight to your walls. Designed by The Tichnor Brothers, this vintage screenprint motif features oversized dimensional lettering packed with historic landmarks, scenic bridges, naval scenes, and grand architecture. Anchored by the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond and a cluster of delicate American Dogwood blossoms, the warm striped backdrop of golden yellow and orange sets a spirited retro tone. Produced custom to your wall dimensions on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our mural wallpapers bring authentic mid-century character and vivid storytelling into any interior.

In the room

Because of its graphic, poster-style composition and horizontal lettering, we see this wall mural working best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room or a dedicated study, giving the complete postcard width room to breathe lets every individual letter illustration stand out without getting cropped by corners. It also makes an inviting focal point in an entryway or hallway, immediately welcoming guests with nostalgic travel charm. In a vacation home or game room, the lively vintage character creates an engaging backdrop behind lower-profile seating or a low credenza that keeps the lower architectural elements and dogwood details visible.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic quality and high visual energy of the design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and uncomplicated. Mid-century modern sideboards, warm walnut or teak credenzas, and simple upholstered seating pair naturally with the 1940s illustrative style without competing for attention.

• Pair with warm wood tones like teak or medium oak to echo the retro era while grounding the bright backdrop.
• Choose low-profile furniture along the mural wall so the Richmond Capitol and floral details remain in full view.
• Introduce neutral upholstery or muted textiles to let the vivid postcard artwork remain the clear centerpiece of the space.

Color combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is led by rich golden yellow and warm orange tones in the sunset background, framed by deep drop shadows, lush foliage greens, and crisp skies across the letter vignettes. To create a cohesive look across adjacent walls, we suggest pulling out a soft warm cream or a light sand tone from the sky elements for surrounding paintwork. If you prefer more definition, deep forest green or rich navy accents on surrounding woodwork or cabinetry beautifully complement the trees and waterscapes inside the letters.
