Wallpaper - Greetings from New London - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from New London wallpaper brings the graphic charm of classic mid-century postcard art directly to your wall. Based on an archival design by The Tichnor Brothers, bold block lettering spells out the vintage greeting, with each letter framing distinct illustrated scenes of local landmarks, beaches, waterfront views, and a submarine. Set against a clean light blue background with red and white dimensional outlines, the composition captures an unmistakable 1940s screenprint aesthetic. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle paper texture, this design gives travel-inspired art a striking, graphic presence.

In the room

Because of its strong horizontal composition and bold typographic structure, we see this design working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall. In an entryway or hallway, it creates an immediate point of visual interest as soon as you step inside, setting a relaxed, characterful tone for the rest of the home.

In a living room or a dedicated study, the motif functions much like oversized graphic artwork. Giving the mural a wall with minimal visual clutter allows the detailed vignettes within each letter, from the architectural facades to coastal scenes, to remain clearly readable from across the room.

Styling it

To let the detailed postcard motif take centre stage, we would pair this design with simple furniture shapes and clean silhouettes. Modern mid-century pieces in warm wood tones, such as teak or walnut, naturally complement the 1940s graphic heritage without making the room feel overly themed.

We suggest keeping large upholstered pieces and nearby floor finishes relatively neutral. Simple woven rugs and matte, painted finishes create a quiet backdrop that lets the bright typography and coastal imagery stand out with clarity.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a fresh sky-blue background balanced by vivid primary accents, including bright red, crisp white, navy, and golden tones inside the individual letter illustrations.

When decorating the surrounding space, soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted sandy neutrals on adjoining walls keep the room feeling bright and open. If you want to echo the palette of the print, deep navy accents, warm terracotta details, or rich cobalt touches in small decor objects tie the whole setting together naturally.
