Wallpaper - Greetings from PanAm - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from PanAm wallpaper captures the golden era of travel through a vintage screenprint postcard motif by The Tichnor Brothers. Centered in the composition is a classic white seaplane marked with Pan American Airways soaring across a soft sky blue backdrop. Below, calm coastal waters meet a vibrant shoreline filled with bright red, sunny yellow, and crisp white buildings set against muted mountain silhouettes. The design features a distinctive painted texture and 1930s screenprint aesthetic that brings nostalgic warmth and storytelling to an interior wall. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure based on your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We love this design as a feature wall where the vintage aviation scene can act as a natural focal point. It works particularly well in a home study, library, or bedroom, bringing a sense of historic charm and wanderlust to spaces dedicated to reading or quiet focus. Because the composition balances open sky in the upper portion with detailed architecture along the bottom, placing it on a wider wall behind a desk or bed lets the full narrative unfold without feeling crowded. In rooms with steady natural daylight, the pastel sky tones and crisp coastal hues stay bright and open throughout the day.

Styling it

To complement the 1930s graphic character of this wall mural, we suggest pairing it with clean, heritage-inspired furniture that allows the illustration to take center stage. Rich mid-tone or dark wood pieces, like a walnut desk or mahogany shelving, echo the classic travel era without overwhelming the room. Simple brass hardware and vintage-style task lighting add subtle warmth that harmonizes with the print’s nostalgic feel. Keep surrounding upholstery and window dressings in quiet, solid textures so the colorful architecture at the bottom of the pattern remains the visual anchor.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper revolves around expansive sky blue, soft pastel mountains, and lively pops of primary red and yellow along the shoreline. For adjacent walls and trim, warm off-white, light cream, or a very pale grey-blue will keep the space feeling airy and cohesive. If you want to introduce deeper accents through painted cabinetry, shelving, or textiles, classic navy blue or a muted vintage burgundy will pick up the darker tones of the illustration and add grounding contrast to the room.
