Wallpaper - Greetings from Pittsburgh - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Pittsburgh wallpaper captures the vibrant, graphic spirit of mid-century travel with a vintage large-letter postcard design created by The Tichnor Brothers. Bold typography spells out "Greetings From Pittsburgh Penna.", with each block letter framing classic architectural scenes and city landmarks in rich, illustrative detail. Set against a luminous sky blue to warm yellow gradient background and defined by sharp orange and black graphic outlines, this retro screenprint-inspired design brings dynamic energy and nostalgic storytelling to any wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper, our wallpapers are straightforward to hang and feature a subtle physical structure in the paper surface.

In the room

Because the motif relies on strong horizontal lettering and intricate landmark scenes, we find this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the typography can be read clearly from across the space. In a living room or vacation home, placing the wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa or along a main gathering wall gives the large-scale print room to stand out without competing with heavy vertical furniture. The warm yellow-to-sky-blue gradient brings an open, airy feeling to the room, creating an engaging visual focal point that instantly anchors the interior.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic quality and rich illustrative details of the print, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Mid-century modern silhouettes or simple contemporary pieces in warm wood tones, such as honey oak or walnut, complement the 1940s vintage character without cluttering the visual field. Choosing solid-color upholstery and quiet fabrics allows the intricate lettering and vibrant city scenes to take center stage.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a vibrant foundation of sky blue, sunshine yellow, deep black outlines, and warm orange accents. For adjacent painted walls, soft warm off-whites or subtle creamy tones keep the space bright while allowing the blue-and-yellow gradient to pop. If you prefer deeper contrast, echoing the warm terracotta or rich ochre tones found within the lettering through surrounding cushions, ceramics, or painted trim creates a cohesive, grounded palette.
