Wallpaper - Greetings from New York - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from New York wallpaper channels the graphic charm of classic mid-century souvenir postcards, created by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, block lettering spells out "NEW YORK" across the centre, with each letter framed like an individual window revealing historic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, a racetrack, and the state capitol in Albany. The warm apricot, orange, and yellow gradient background is dotted with subtle white stars, while pink pasture roses and rich green leaves bring a delicate botanical balance to the bold graphic typography. Printed to your exact dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle paper texture that complements the vintage screenprint aesthetic.

In the room

We see this vibrant design working exceptionally well in a living room, home office, or a dedicated creative space where you want the wall to set a lively, nostalgic tone. Because the artwork functions as a single graphic statement with bold typography and detailed vignettes within each letter, we recommend placing it on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall where the complete composition can be seen from a distance. In a study or home workspace, positioning the wallpaper behind a desk creates an energetic visual backdrop without feeling cluttered, while in a living area it serves naturally as an expressive accent wall behind a low sofa.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic quality and bright retro character of this design, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean-lined and uncomplicated.

• Mid-century modern furniture in warm woods such as teak or medium oak complements the 1940s vintage aesthetic of the artwork.
• Simple, low-profile seating in neutral upholstery keeps the room grounded and prevents visual competition with the dense lettering.
• Matte black metal lighting or hardware echoes the dark screenprint outlines in the motif, adding contemporary definition to the space.

Colour combinations

Our design features a rich palette anchored by warm orange, apricot, and sunny yellow gradient tones, contrasted with deep greens, vibrant pink florals, and classic architectural hues inside the lettering. When choosing surrounding wall colours, we suggest pulling from the softer tones in the background, such as a muted warm white, gentle cream, or pale apricot paint on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you prefer a richer contrast, a deep forest green or tailored charcoal grey drawn from the screenprint details creates an intimate and grounded interior scheme.
