Wallpaper - Greetings from Westborough - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Westborough design reimagines classic Americana in the style of a vintage 1940s screenprint postcard by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, three-dimensional letters spell out "WESTBOROUGH" across the centre, each filled with detailed illustrations of local architecture and trees. Above the main typography sits a flowing red cursive "Greetings from", anchored below by a bright yellow "MASS.". A warm, sunny gradient shifts across the background from sky blue to yellow and rich orange. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the bold horizontal text and distinct graphic presence, this design works particularly well as a focal point in a living room or an entryway. In an entrance hall, the welcoming postcard motif sets a playful, retro tone right as you step through the front door. In a living room, we recommend placing it on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall behind a sofa or low sideboard. Giving the mural wallpapers space to breathe ensures the full lettering and surrounding gradient remain clear and legible across the room.

Styling it

The graphic quality of this screenprint artwork calls for relatively quiet, grounded furnishings that let the typography stand out. Mid-century modern shapes and clean retro furniture pair naturally with the 1940s graphic style. We would combine it with warm wood finishes such as teak or medium oak to echo the nostalgic feel without competing with the bold composition. Keeping larger upholstery neutral helps balance the strong visual energy, while simple accents in muted primary tones can subtly reinforce the palette.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vibrant mix of sky blue, warm yellow, rich orange, and crisp red lettering against a soft, sunny gradient. When painting neighbouring walls or selecting surrounding finishes, soft off-white or light warm grey creates a clean, calm border that frames the motif cleanly. If you prefer to draw on the richer tones of the artwork, deep navy or a muted terracotta on adjacent surfaces can create a cohesive, vintage-inspired palette that anchors the brighter highlights in the wall murals.
