Wallpaper - Greetings from Houston - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Houston wallpaper brings the bold graphic energy of classic mid-century postcard art directly to your wall. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers, this design features large white "HOUSTON" block letters outlined in black, each framing detailed scenes of iconic city landmarks, architectural views, and lush greenery. "TEXAS" is picked out in a punchy red banner beneath, anchored against a radiant sunburst backdrop of dark orange, gold, and vivid blue rays. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical texture.

In the room

Because of the strong central lettering and radiating sunburst geometry, we love seeing this wallpaper on a primary accent wall in a living room or a dedicated entertaining space. It naturally commands attention, making it an excellent backdrop behind a low-profile sofa, a media credenza, or along a main wall in a vacation home living area. Giving the design an uninterrupted wall surface lets the complete postcard frame and radial lines display their full graphic scale without visual clutter.

For home offices, hallways, or creative studio spaces, the design introduces a warm sense of nostalgia and vibrant urban character. In narrower spaces or entryways, catching sight of the bold typography as you walk in establishes a playful, vintage-inspired tone right away. We recommend keeping larger furniture pieces relatively low or positioned away from the center of the wall so the letterform imagery and central "HOUSTON" text remain the focal point.

Styling it

When styling around such a graphic, color-rich design, we prefer balancing its vintage Americana feel with clean, mid-century modern lines and warm, grounding materials.

• Choose furniture in warm wood tones such as walnut, teak, or warm oak, which sit comfortably alongside the golden yellow and dark orange rays.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large rugs in neutral, solid textiles like oatmeal, warm cream, or charcoal to let the detailed postcard typography take center stage.
• Introduce accent pieces in matte black metal or vintage brass to echo the bold black letter outlines and warm up the surrounding room.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built on a high-energy palette of dark orange, golden yellow, sky blue, and bright red, balanced by crisp white and black detailing. When painting adjacent walls or selecting room trim, we recommend pulling directly from the quieter tones in the print. A warm cream, soft sand, or muted off-white on adjoining walls softens the overall contrast while allowing the vibrant sunburst to pop.

If you want a more saturated, retro look, pairing the wall mural with deep teal, slate blue, or rich terracotta on adjacent surfaces creates a wonderfully enveloping, mid-century atmosphere. For baseboards and door casings, crisp white keeps the transition sharp and mirrors the clean letter fills, while a muted warm grey provides a softer, grounded framing.
