Wallpaper - Greetings from Lavallette - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Lavallette wallpaper brings the nostalgic charm of classic 1940s travel postcards straight to your walls. Designed by The Tichnor Brothers in a distinct screenprint style, the motif features bold block lettering spelling out "Greetings from Lavallette, N.J.", with each character filled with sunny vignettes of coastal houses, sailing boats, and shoreline scenes. A warm sunset gradient shifts from soft pink to vibrant saffron and orange across the sky, anchored by a lively beach scene in the foreground. Printed as made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our design offers an eye-catching retro accent.

In the room

Because this design functions as a graphic focal point, we like giving it a prominent, uninterrupted wall where the full lettering and coastal vignettes can be appreciated from a distance. In a vacation home or a coastal-inspired living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a main seating area or along an entryway wall instantly establishes a relaxed, sun-drenched atmosphere. The wide horizontal composition and open sky also make it a playful addition to a guest room or family recreation area. For balanced proportions, we recommend letting this design hold the main accent wall while keeping adjoining walls quieter.

Styling it

To complement the graphic 1940s screenprint aesthetic, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with mid-century or retro casual furnishings. Clean-lined seating in neutral canvas or light cotton helps ground the bright saffron and orange hues without competing for attention. Warm, unpainted wood pieces like maple or light birch echo the sunny, laid-back mood of the artwork. Keep decorative accessories minimal and purposeful, choosing matte ceramic vases or simple framed prints that let the energetic typography and vintage illustrations lead the space.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich saffron, bright orange, and warm pink, balanced by cool coastal blues, sandy beige, and crisp white within the postcard lettering. When selecting surrounding wall paint and decor, warm off-white or soft cream provides a natural, bright companion that lets the sky gradient stand out. If you want a more cohesive coastal look, pulling a muted sky blue or soft sand tone from the letter illustrations onto adjoining walls or trim creates a gentle, harmonious transition throughout the room.
