Wallpaper - Greetings from Cape Cod - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Cape Cod wallpaper captures the charm of mid-century Americana through a classic 1940s screenprint postcard composition by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, graphic lettering spelling out the coastal greeting takes centre stage, with each letter filled with detailed scenic vignettes of lighthouses, sailboats, windmills, historic buildings, and ocean shores. Set against a clean sky blue backdrop with soft white cloud formations, the design balances bold typography with nostalgic pictorial detail. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this piece brings distinctive graphic character to any interior.

In the room

Because the composition functions as a large, self-contained graphic artwork, we find it works best on an open, uninterrupted feature wall where the full lettering and horizontal proportions can be appreciated. In a main living room or a holiday home sitting area, placing this design behind a low sofa or along an open dining wall lets the intricate scenes within each letter remain in clear view. The bright sky blue field and contrasting warm tones within the letters give the space an open, uplifting feel without needing high-contrast patterns across surrounding walls.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork stand out naturally, we suggest balancing the wall with understated furniture and clean silhouettes:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm timber furniture such as mid-century teak or light oak to echo the vintage print aesthetic.
• Choose neutral upholstery in off-white, oat, or unbleached canvas to keep the focus firmly on the colourful lettering.
• Bring in simple architectural accents, such as painted white skirting and classic board-and-batten panelling, to reinforce the coastal, traditional look.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in a bright sky blue base, layered with rich accent colours inside the illustrated letters, including warm terracotta, forest green, navy, and golden yellow. To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend pairing this mural with soft off-white or light stone on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you want to draw out the deeper tones, furniture or decorative accents in muted navy or warm brick red tie in naturally with the vintage print palette.
