Wallpaper - Greetings from Long Branch - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Long Branch wallpaper captures the graphic charm of mid-twentieth-century travel art, created by The Tichnor Brothers in the style of classic 1940s souvenir postcards. Large, bold block lettering spells out "LONG BRANCH", with each letter containing distinct illustrated vignettes of seaside landmarks, coastal avenues, vintage cars, and beach life along the New Jersey coast. Set against a soft gradient background blending sunshine yellow, warm pink, and sky blue, the composition balances vivid retro typography with miniature narrative scenes. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper texture, it provides an expressive visual centrepiece for entryways, living areas, or creative spaces.

In the room

Because this design relies on a wide typographic layout and fine illustrative vignettes inside the lettering, we see it working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full title can spread out naturally. An entryway, hallway, or living room wall behind lower seating allows the detailed scenes within each character to remain at eye level and easily visible. In a holiday home or a coastal-inspired interior, the cheerful sunshine yellow and blue gradient brings an open, sun-drenched feel across the room without needing additional decorative wall pieces.

Styling it

The strong graphic identity of vintage screenprint postcards calls for considered surrounding decor:

• Pair the mural with warm mid-century timber furniture, such as teak or oak, to complement the nostalgic 1940s travel aesthetic.
• Choose low-profile furniture pieces that leave the lower sections of the lettering unblocked so the narrative details inside each letter remain visible.
• Keep surrounding soft furnishings relatively simple, drawing on clean off-white canvas, denim blues, or muted mustard textiles rather than busy patterns.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centres on bright sunshine yellow, vibrant pink, soft blue, and crisp white lettering outlines, alongside the multicoloured figures and buildings inside the letters. To balance this energetic palette, we suggest pairing the wall with surrounding paint in creamy off-white or light sand on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you prefer deeper contrast, furniture or accent details in navy blue or warm terracotta will anchor the brighter tones of the mural nicely.
