Wallpaper - Greetings from Harwichport - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Harwichport wallpaper captures the nostalgic character of a classic mid-century souvenir postcard by The Tichnor Brothers. Large architectural block lettering spells out "Greetings From Harwichport, Cape Cod, Mass.", with each individual letter framing a distinct coastal scene filled with sailboats on calm water, sandy shores, and waterfront cottages. Rendered in a screenprint-inspired palette of soft sky blue, warm sand, and gentle pastel tones, this mural wallpaper brings a relaxed Americana feel to interior spaces. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition relies on bold typography and detailed vignette illustrations, we think this design works best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall. Giving the wallpaper full visibility ensures the complete letterforms and seaside scenes remain easy to read from across the room.

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a vacation home, lake house, or coastal cottage living room where a relaxed, nostalgic mood feels right at home. It also makes an engaging focal point in a guest bedroom behind a headboard or along a hallway where you can appreciate the smaller illustrative details up close.

Styling it

To let the graphic postcard layout stand out, we suggest pairing this mural with understated furniture that carries a traditional or vintage coastal character. Weathered or painted white wood furniture harmonises naturally with the seaside theme without competing with the typography.

For surrounding textiles, choose simple, unpatterned fabrics in washed cotton or soft canvas. Keeping larger pieces like sofas, armchairs, and curtains quiet in tone allows the charming beach scenes across the letters to draw the eye.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres around soft coastal blue, pale yellow, muted pink, and earthy sand tones. These gentle shades keep the large lettering visual without feeling stark or overwhelming against the wall.

When selecting paint colours for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we suggest drawing out the paler background tones. A warm off-white or soft cream provides a quiet backdrop that echoes the vintage paper look. If you prefer a richer accent on woodwork or doors, a muted navy or dusty slate blue pulls directly from the water and sky within the illustrated scenes.
