Wallpaper - Greetings from Rochester - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Rochester wallpaper brings a classic vintage travel postcard straight onto the wall. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design captures a 1960s American Airlines jet parked on the tarmac in front of the Rochester, N.Y. airport terminal and its distinctive clock tower. Surrounded by tarmac service vehicles and crowned with bold red postcard lettering against an open blue sky, the composition combines graphic typography with aviation history. The palette blends clear sky blue, crisp white, bold red, and neutral grey tones. Like all our wall murals, it is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

Because the motif is structured like an authentic postcard, we see this working best as a dedicated focal point on a main wall. In a living room, hallway, or home study, giving the wallpaper an uninterrupted surface ensures the full aircraft, terminal architecture, and vintage headline remain clearly visible. The horizontal layout of the airfield naturally draws the eye across the space, making it an engaging backdrop behind a low desk or positioned across from an entryway where the full composition can be appreciated from a distance.

Styling it

To let the graphic postcard aesthetic take centre stage, we would pair this design with clean-lined mid-century or retro furniture. Simple silhouettes in warm timber tones or painted neutral finishes balance the bold print without competing for attention. Keeping surrounding wall decor minimal allows the typography and airport details to serve as the primary visual interest in the room.

Colour combinations

The palette within the mural wallpaper centres on bright sky blue, bold red accents, clean white, and soft airport greys. For surrounding walls, trim, or nearby textiles, we suggest pulling from the softer grey and off-white tones to create a balanced backdrop. If you want to introduce a subtle accent colour elsewhere in the room, picking up the classic red from the lettering or the deep navy from the aircraft stripes creates a cohesive connection across your decor.
