Wallpaper - Greetings from New York - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from New York design brings the graphic nostalgia of vintage travel postcards into modern living spaces. Created with a classic mid-century screenprint character, the composition centres on bold block lettering where each individual letter frames historic New York landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, a classic racetrack, and the state capitol in Albany. A warm sunset gradient of apricot orange and yellow is dotted with white stars, balanced by the pink pasture rose and green foliage of New York's state flower along the base. Printed to your specific wall measurements on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design makes an expressive statement across any accent wall.

In the room

Because the motif functions as a single, large-scale graphic artwork, we recommend placing our wall murals on an uninterrupted wall where the complete lettering and surrounding illustrations can be appreciated in full. It works naturally as a feature wall in a living room behind low seating, or across the main wall of a home office or creative studio where the visual energy can set the mood. In open-plan living spaces or a vacation home, keeping the adjacent walls quieter allows the vivid postcard composition to anchor the entire room without competing for attention.

Styling it

To balance the graphic character and rich tones of this design, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively understated:

• Pair the artwork with mid-century modern or contemporary furniture featuring clean, low profiles that keep the lower details and lettering visible.
• Introduce warm wood furniture, such as teak or medium oak, which complements the apricot and golden tones in the sunset sky.
• Use solid textiles and upholstery in muted neutral tones to give the bold illustration room to stand out without visual clutter.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a warm palette of apricot orange, radiant yellow, and deep lettering accents, complemented by the soft pink and leafy green of the wild pasture rose. Around this motif, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft off-white, light cream, or gentle parchment tones that match the vintage postcard paper. For larger furniture or accent pieces, deeper olive greens, terracotta, or muted navy echo the individual landscape illustrations inside each letter while maintaining a grounded, cohesive interior.
