Wallpaper - Greetings from Boston - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Boston wallpaper captures the cheerful, mid-century graphic character of classic mid-1940s Americana postcards created by The Tichnor Brothers. Bold, dimensional lettering spells out "Greetings from Boston," with each large letter framed to reveal distinct city landmarks, historic buildings, and notable monuments. The composition balances vivid sky blue in the upper half with warm orange and popping accent tones across the lettering, producing high visual contrast and an unmistakably nostalgic screenprint-inspired look. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

Because of the bold central graphic and landscape format, we think this design works best on an open, uninterrupted wall where the full typography and individual architectural vignettes can be appreciated without being broken up. In a living room, it makes a vibrant focal point behind a low-backed sofa or across an accent wall opposite the main seating area.

The bright palette and nostalgic subject also suit an entry hall, mudroom, or vacation home living space, giving guests an immediate sense of place and graphic character as soon as they step inside. Because the visual details are concentrated inside the large letters, keeping taller storage pieces away from the center of the wall helps preserve the full postcard composition.

Styling it

When decorating around such a graphic wall mural, we suggest letting the wallpaper act as the primary visual statement in the room.

• Pair with mid-century modern or vintage-inspired wooden furniture in warm oak or walnut to complement the 1940s illustrative style without competing with the bold typography.
• Keep upholstery and larger textiles relatively calm, choosing solid woven fabrics in neutral off-white or soft navy rather than competing multi-colored patterns.
• Incorporate simple lighting fixtures with matte finishes or clean geometric lines so the wall remains the focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a prominent sky blue sky alongside warm orange, terracotta, and multicolored accent tones embedded in each illustrated letter. To create a cohesive look across adjacent painted walls and woodwork, consider pulling out the sky blue for a crisp, airy feel, or choose a muted warm cream that echoes the paper tone behind the letters. Dark navy and rich burnt orange work naturally as accent colors for cushions, painted trim, or occasional chairs.
