Wallpaper - Greetings from the Inlet - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Inlet wallpaper brings a nostalgic mid-century coastal scene to life in a classic vintage postcard style. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design captures a calm inlet in Ocean City, Maryland, with two boats drifting across blue waters beneath a soft sky that shifts into warm yellow and pink tones. A sandy shoreline with a gentle path anchors the lower foreground, giving the composition a relaxed, scenic depth. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

We see this mural working beautifully on a main feature wall in a living room, bedroom, or guest room, as well as in a vacation home or lake house. Because the panoramic perspective features an open horizon, it creates an airy visual focal point that draws the eye outward. In a living area, we would place our wall murals behind a low sofa or credenza so that the shoreline, boats, and gentle sunset sky remain completely visible. For a bedroom, installing the wallpaper behind the headboard gives the space a distinct heritage character without overwhelming smaller decorative elements.

Styling it

To complement the historic postcard aesthetic, we like pairing this design with relaxed furniture and understated coastal textures. Light wood pieces or painted white side tables sit naturally alongside the sandy shoreline in the print, keeping the atmosphere bright and balanced. Crisp white linens and simple woven cotton accents in a bedroom or seating corner echo the vintage resort feeling. Keeping surrounding furniture relatively low and uncluttered allows the graphic lines and peaceful water scene to serve as the visual anchor of the space.

Colour combinations

The design centres on soft blues in the water and upper sky, balanced by warm yellow, delicate pink, and sandy beige tones along the beach. To build a cohesive room around our mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing the wall with soft warm white, sandy cream, or pale sky blue on adjacent surfaces and woodwork. If you prefer a richer accent elsewhere in the room, deep navy textiles or muted sunset peach accessories can subtly pick up the tonal accents in the boats and horizon.
