Wallpaper - Greetings from Nebraska - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Nebraska wallpaper reimagines the classic mid-century linen postcard format as an expansive wall mural. The composition centers on bold, block-letter typography across the upper half, with individual illustrated scenes framed inside each character. Iconic state landmarks, architectural details, and an airplane sit within the lettering against a sky blue backdrop with radiating sun rays. Along the base, the Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln rises beside bright yellow goldenrod blossoms. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings graphic nostalgia and rich color to an accent wall.

In the room

Because this design has a distinct focal point and bold horizontal lettering, we see it working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire postcard layout can be seen without heavy obstruction. In a living room, dining area, or a home office, placing the mural on a central wall gives the architecture and lettering space to breathe.

The strong contrast between the sky blue background and the golden yellow details at the bottom also suits spaces like a vacation home, entryway, or hallway where you want an immediate sense of character. We recommend keeping taller furniture away from the lower half of the wall so the state capitol building and goldenrod remain clearly visible.

Styling it

The graphic, 1930s-inspired look of this mural pairs naturally with retro and mid-century modern furniture, as well as classic Americana decor.

• Choose warm wood tones like walnut or honey pine to echo the warm accents in the lettering and flowers.
• Select upholstery and painted furniture in tailored, solid colors rather than competing prints, allowing the illustrated mural to stand out.
• Incorporate simple lighting or clean-lined framed wall accents nearby to keep the visual focus directly on the vintage postcard artwork.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in a vibrant sky blue base, accented by bright goldenrod yellow, warm reds, crisp white, and architectural greys.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls and trim, softer off-whites and pale creams provide a clean transition that keeps the room light. For a cozier look, bringing in a warm ochre or mustard yellow through cushions, throws, or accent chairs will tie directly back to the goldenrod at the bottom of the mural. Deep navy or soft slate grey on neighboring woodwork can also anchor the design and frame the central illustration nicely.
