Wallpaper - Greetings from Salisbury Beach - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Salisbury Beach wallpaper brings the vibrant, retro character of classic mid-century postcard art directly to your interior. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold, dimensional block lettering spelling out "Salisbury Beach, Mass.", with each individual letter filled with lively seaside vignettes—from sunbathers along the coastline and a red-roofed pavilion to illuminated boardwalk attractions and vintage amusements like the Dodgem cars. Set against a dynamic starburst backdrop of sage green, sky blue, peach, and sunlit yellow, this screenprint-inspired motif creates an instantly engaging focal point. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our mural wallpapers offer a joyful, nostalgic celebration of vintage coastal travel.

In the room

Because the composition functions as a large-scale graphic artwork, we especially like using this design on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall where the full typography and intricate inner scenes can be appreciated without visual clipping. It works naturally in casual residential spaces such as a games room, open-plan family living area, hobby space, or holiday home lounge where a playful, expressive tone is welcome. The large lettering anchors the space, making it an excellent backdrop behind lower seating or along an open hallway where visitors can take in the nostalgic details up close.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork take centre stage, we would pair this wallpaper with clean-lined, mid-century-inspired furniture or relaxed vintage furnishings. Warm timber tones such as teak, honey oak, or mid-tone walnut bring out the retro character of the print while grounding the bright palette. Keep surrounding upholstery and large fabrics relatively quiet in solid neutrals or textured weaves so the wallpaper provides the main visual energy in the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself is rich with popping vintage tones, including warm terracotta reds along the lettering shadows, bright sky blues, soft sea greens, and sunny apricot yellows in the rayed background. For surrounding painted walls, skirting, or doors, we would draw out soft off-white, muted sandy beige, or a gentle coastal sky blue to harmonise with the print. For accents and smaller decorative elements, deeper brick red or navy blue can pick up on the bold architectural shadows within the letters.
