Wallpaper - Greetings from Springfield Mass. - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Springfield Mass. wallpaper brings classic mid-century postcard art directly to the wall. Created in the distinctive 1940s large-letter style by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold lettering spelling out the city name, with each character filled with detailed illustrations of local architecture, civic towers, and historic scenes. A warm gradient background shifting between orange and cool blue tones gives the composition its sunny, graphic contrast. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper texture, it provides an authentic screenprint-inspired look for retro-inspired interiors.

In the room

Because this design functions as a single graphic statement, we see it working best on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room or a dedicated holiday home, giving the mural a clear expanse allows the entire panoramic lettering to be read without visual break. The strong horizontal composition draws the eye across the room, making it an engaging focal point behind a low-profile sofa or along an open dining area wall. In spaces with good natural light, the contrast between the warm orange sky and the deep blues in the architectural vignettes becomes especially vivid.

Styling it

When decorating around such an expressive, graphic mural, we suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings simple and grounded. Mid-century furniture with clean profiles, warm wood tones, and uncluttered silhouettes complements the 1940s aesthetic without competing with the typography. To balance the vibrant imagery, choose neutral upholstery or solid fabrics rather than competing patterned textiles, letting the wall mural carry the visual character of the space.

Colour combinations

The design centres around warm orange, sky blue, and vibrant pops of colour nestled within each illustrated letter. To create a cohesive look across the wider room, consider pulling the soft off-white or cream tones from the postcard border for your adjacent walls and trim. If you prefer a richer palette, pairing the wallpaper with surrounding woodwork painted in muted navy or deep slate mirrors the dark ink outlines in the screenprint artwork.
