Wallpaper - Greetings from Clearwater - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Clearwater wallpaper brings mid-century American travel graphics directly to your wall. Based on a classic screenprint postcard aesthetic by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold "Clearwater" lettering filled with scenic vignettes of sun-drenched beaches, coastal architecture and palm trees. "Florida" stands out in warm yellow above a striking background gradient that transitions from rich orange and coral into soft purple, framed by deep green palm leaf silhouettes. Printed made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture, it delivers a graphic focal point full of vintage character.

In the room

Because of the bold central lettering and horizontal layout, we see this wall mural working best on a main feature wall where the typography has enough space to be appreciated in its entirety. In a living room, placing this design behind a low sofa creates an engaging visual anchor without dividing the central illustration. It also works brilliantly in a dedicated holiday home or vacation cottage, setting an upbeat, retro tone as soon as you walk in. For narrower spaces like hallways or study areas, positioning the mural on an end wall with minimal tall furniture ensures the complete postcard composition remains visible.

Styling it

To let the expressive screenprint aesthetic take center stage, we recommend balancing the room with clean lines and considered textures:

• Choose mid-century inspired furniture with warm wood tones, such as teak or dark oak, to echo the authentic 1940s character of the artwork.
• Introduce natural woven accents like rattan lighting or jute floor coverings to complement the tropical palm details without adding competing visual pattern.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large textiles relatively understated, choosing solid neutral fabrics in off-white, oatmeal or muted cream.

Colour combinations

The palette within this wallpaper is anchored by vibrant coral, sunny yellow, rich orange and dusky purple, balanced by forest green in the palm leaves. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and architectural woodwork, we suggest pulling directly from the softer notes in the design. A warm, creamy off-white on adjacent walls keeps the room feeling bright and open while letting the mural pop. If you prefer deeper contrast, pairing the wallpaper with a muted olive or forest green on nearby trim creates a grounded, cohesive look that mirrors the botanical background.
