Wallpaper - Greetings from Rochester - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Rochester wallpaper captures a classic mid-century travel scene in the style of a vintage screenprint postcard. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the composition features a vintage American Airlines jet resting on the tarmac, detailed with bold red and blue stripes and surrounded by airport service vehicles. In the background, the Rochester, New York terminal stands under a bright sky, framed by its distinctive clock tower and vibrant red postcard lettering. We produce our mural wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to bring authentic aviation history into your home.

In the room

Because this mural functions like an enlarged vintage postcard, we like seeing it on a main feature wall where the complete composition and graphic typography remain in full view. In a home office, study, or living room, giving the design an uninterrupted wall behind a desk or low seating lets the detailed tarmac scene and architecture anchor the space. The visual perspective naturally draws the eye toward the terminal building, creating depth on wide walls or in a hallway where visitors can take in the mid-century details up close.

Styling it

The distinct 1960s graphic quality of this design pairs naturally with retro and mid-century modern furniture. We recommend balancing the detailed illustration with clean-lined furniture pieces in warm or medium wood tones, which complement the nostalgic Americana feel without competing with the scene. Keeping large furniture relatively low prevents important elements like the airplane and ground vehicles from being covered, letting the wallpaper act as the primary visual feature of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on sky blue, bright red, crisp white, and cool asphalt grey tones. To create a cohesive look around the mural, we suggest pulling the soft sky blue or a warm off-white onto adjacent painted walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce stronger accents in your furniture or decor, touches of classic crimson red or deeper navy echo the airplane stripes and typography, while muted grey keeps the overall interior grounded.
