Wallpaper - Greetings from Aquaplaning - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Aquaplaning wallpaper brings the lively energy of a vintage mid-century screenprint postcard straight to your walls. Drawn from artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features a classic wooden speedboat carving across vivid blue water, towing three aquaplaners wearing bold red, yellow, and black swimsuits. The graphic white spray of the wake, rich warm wood tones of the hull, and textured retro print style create a cheerful, sun-drenched nautical scene full of movement. Produced custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design makes an expressive, characterful focal point.

In the room

Because the motif tells a complete horizontal story of speed and motion across the water, we especially like this design on a wider, relatively uninterrupted accent wall where the full composition can unfold. It works naturally in a living room, hallway, or recreation area, and feels especially at home in a lake house, vacation cottage, or coastal home. The bright ocean blue and high-spirited subject matter give the space an uplifting, nostalgic atmosphere without overwhelming the rest of the room.

Styling it

To balance the graphic detail and vibrant palette of our mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing the design with relaxed, unfussy furnishings. Clean-lined mid-century or retro furniture in warm teak or honey-toned wood complements the classic speedboat in the motif, while crisp white painted woodwork keeps the surrounding space fresh. Soft textiles in natural cotton or canvas help ground the energetic action on the wall, letting the wall mural stand out as the primary visual feature.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a deep ocean blue palette with warm boat-hull browns, sunlit yellow, and bright red accents set against foamy white. When painting surrounding walls or woodwork, crisp off-white or soft sandy neutrals provide a calm frame that lets the blues pop. If you want to echo the warmer notes in the print, muted mustard yellow or warm timber finishes on nearby cabinetry and trim create a cohesive, vintage Americana feel.
