Wallpaper - Greetings from Copacabana - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Copacabana wallpaper brings the sunlit energy of Rio de Janeiro onto the wall with the distinct look of a mid-century screenprint postcard. Created in the graphic style of The Tichnor Brothers, the composition captures the sweeping crescent of Copacabana beach, where warm sand meets gentle blue ocean waters dotted with colorful sunshades. Along the curved coastline, mid-century architecture and a bustling promenade with vintage vehicles meet the lush green hill rising in the background. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, this design adds a vibrant vintage travel character to any room.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or a dedicated holiday home where the entire coastal panorama has space to unfold. Because the composition contains a high level of scenic detail, from the animated beach life in the foreground to the buildings and green hills behind, giving the mural wallpaper a central wall behind a low sofa or credenza lets every part of the landscape remain visible. The horizontal sweep of the bay naturally draws the eye across the room, making it an engaging focal point for spaces where you want to introduce movement, warmth, and retro architectural charm.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the graphic screenprint details of our wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and warm, natural elements that mirror its mid-century origins:

• Choose warm mid-tone wood furniture, such as teak or warm oak, which complements the vintage print style and anchors the beach scene.
• Introduce woven textures like rattan, jute, or linen upholstery to echo the relaxed coastal atmosphere without competing with the detailed motif.
• Keep surrounding wall decor minimal and opt for low-profile furniture so the full sweep of the shoreline and distant hills remains open to view.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around a warm palette of sandy yellow, ocean blue, and lush foliage green, accented with lively pops of color across the beach umbrellas and vintage cars. When choosing paint for adjacent walls and trim, we like soft off-white, light warm sand, or a pale, muted plaster tone to keep the surrounding space bright and airy. For larger upholstered pieces, deep navy or subdued olive green works well to draw out the rich tones found in the sea and distant landscape, while small accents in warm terracotta or ochre tie back to the energy of the promenade.
