Wallpaper - Greetings from Burlington Airport - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Burlington Airport wallpaper brings the charm of mid-century travel into focus with a classic postcard aesthetic by The Tichnor Brothers. The design features the historic red-brick terminal of Vermont's Burlington Municipal Airport, complete with its control tower, railings, and a fluttering American flag, while a crisp red-and-white propeller plane glides in against a soft blue sky with light clouds. We love the graphic character of the screenprint-inspired style, where earthy brick tones meet gentle sky shades to create a warm visual narrative. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle surface texture in the paper that complements vintage architectural motifs.

In the room

Because of its illustrative composition, we see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, home office, hallway, or study. The artwork carries a clear focal point with the terminal building and approaching aircraft, meaning it benefits from an uninterrupted wall where the full scene can unfold without being heavily obscured by tall bookcases or bulky furniture. In a study or home library, placing it along the primary wall creates an inviting backdrop that draws the eye across the architectural details.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with interior elements that echo its vintage Americana roots while keeping the surrounding room grounded:

• Ground the space with warm wood furniture, such as mid-century walnut or warm oak, which naturally complements the earthy brick reds of the terminal illustration.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and textiles relatively muted, opting for tailored neutral seating and quiet woven rugs so the graphic artwork remains the visual anchor of the room.
• Incorporate simple retro-inspired decorative accents, like vintage desk lamps or clean-lined framed prints, to support the 1940s travel aesthetic without overcrowding the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself centers on warm brick red, earthy terracotta tones, crisp white accents, and a calming backdrop of soft sky blue and neutral cloud shades. When decorating around it, we suggest pulling the muted sky blue or warm off-white onto adjacent painted walls or baseboards to keep the room feeling open. Deeper tones like rich terracotta, forest green, or charcoal work beautifully in smaller accent pieces, such as cushions, desk accessories, or drapery, adding depth while balancing the artwork's lighter sky.
