Wallpaper - Greetings from Avon-by-the-sea - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Avon-by-the-sea wallpaper brings the vibrant graphic energy of a classic 1940s souvenir postcard directly to your wall. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design centres on large block lettering spelling out the seaside town, with each letter filled with coastal vignettes of sandy beaches, a classic boardwalk, a swimming pavilion, and historic architecture. A rich sunset gradient runs through the backdrop, moving from saffron orange and warm yellow down into cool blue, framed by crisp red, white, and blue outlines. Printed to your dimensions on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it makes a spirited statement wall.

In the room

Because of the graphic lettering and horizontal composition, we see this wall mural working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full phrase and panoramic coastal scenes can be taken in at once. In a living room or a dedicated holiday home sitting area, placing the design behind a low-backed sofa allows the bold lettering to sit cleanly above eye level without visual breaks. It also brings lively character to a long hallway or home study, where the smaller illustrated scenes within each letter invite closer looking as you walk past.

Styling it

The expressive retro screenprint style has plenty of personality, so we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded. Mid-century silhouettes, clean-lined low cabinetry, and warm wood finishes like teak or birch sit comfortably alongside the vintage travel aesthetic without competing with the bold typography.

To balance the energetic palette, we suggest choosing plain upholstery and woven textiles in neutral off-white or deep navy. Keeping larger surfaces simple gives the artwork space to stand out as the primary visual anchor in the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vivid palette of saffron orange, golden yellow, ocean blue, crisp white, and bright red accents.

To build a balanced room scheme, we would look to the deeper blue from the lower gradient for adjacent painted walls or large upholstery, which creates a grounded backdrop for the warmer lettering. Warm white or muted cream on the surrounding trim softens the contrast nicely. If you prefer a lighter, more relaxed look, pairing the wall mural with sandy beige tones and subtle denim accents lets the saffron and orange lettering take centre stage.
