Wallpaper - Greetings from Bar Harbor - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Bar Harbor wallpaper brings the nostalgic charm of classic mid-century travel postcards onto the wall. Created in collaboration with vintage imagery from The Tichnor Brothers, the design centers on the iconic "Greetings from Bar Harbor, Maine" lettering, where each block letter is filled with picturesque vignettes of coastal scenery, sailboats, park fountains, lush greenery, and coastal blooms. Set against a warm gradient of coral orange and sunny yellow, the motif has the distinct graphic character of mid-century screenprinting. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the large typographic layout and multiple scenic vignettes create a rich focal point, we see this wall mural working especially well as an accent wall in a living room or a relaxed vacation home. In an open living space, giving the design a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full lettering and coastal details to be appreciated from across the room.

The warmth of the coral and yellow backdrop pairs naturally with bright daylight, which brings out the smaller details within each letter, while softer evening lamplight emphasizes the retro glow of the gradient. If you are decorating a dining area or a dedicated sitting corner, placing the wallpaper behind lower furniture ensures the central postcard composition remains clearly visible.

Styling it

The distinct Americana aesthetic of this design makes it a natural match for vintage, coastal, or mid-century interior styles. We suggest pairing it with warm wood furniture, such as honey oak or teak, which complements the sunny orange background without competing for attention.

To balance the graphic energy of the typography, keep surrounding textiles and larger pieces relatively calm. Natural woven materials, such as canvas or flat-weave rugs in neutral sandy tones, provide a grounded base that lets the colors in the wallpaper stand out. Matte dark metal accents or classic framed art on adjacent walls can also tie into the crisp graphic outlines of the screenprint style.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is led by a vibrant coral orange and warm yellow gradient, balanced by the blues, foliage greens, and bright red accents inside the lettering. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or trim, off-white or soft cream provides a clean, bright contrast that keeps the room open and cheerful.

For a deeper, more cohesive palette, pulling the maritime blue from the water vignettes into nearby upholstery or painted woodwork creates a striking, balanced contrast against the warm coral backdrop. Muted olive or forest greens also connect naturally with the landscape scenes inside the letters.
