Wallpaper - Greetings from the Inlet - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Inlet wallpaper captures a tranquil coastal scene inspired by vintage mid-century postcards. Illustrated by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features two boats resting on calm blue waters, set beneath an open sky that shifts softly from light blue into gentle yellow and pink tones. A quiet shoreline pathway in the foreground grounds the view, giving the entire composition a serene, nostalgic balance. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper structure, it makes a distinctive focal point for living spaces, bedrooms, or hallways where you want to introduce easy coastal character.

In the room

Because of its scenic horizontal layout and open horizon, we see this wall mural working particularly well across a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room or a coastal bedroom, giving the design room to breathe allows the full balance between the boats, open water, and soft sunset gradient to stand out naturally.

The composition also works beautifully on a feature wall behind a low sofa or headboard, where the furniture sits below the water line without obscuring the main boat details. In narrower rooms, hallways, or entryways, the gentle perspective and light sky tones help create a sense of visual openness rather than closing in the space.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with relaxed, natural interior elements that complement its vintage Americana feel without competing for attention.

• Choose warm, lighter wood tones such as ash, natural pine, or bleached oak for furniture and architectural trim to echo the sandy shoreline.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger rugs plain or subtly woven in soft off-whites, neutral linen tones, or faded denim blues to let the mural carry the visual focus.
• Incorporate simple lighting with understated brass or matte white fixtures that cast a gentle, warm evening glow across the design.

Colour combinations

The palette within our mural wallpapers design is defined by soft sky blues, calm sea tones, sandy shoreline beiges, and subtle touches of pale yellow and dusky pink in the evening sky.

To complement these shades, we suggest using off-white, light warm cream, or pale sandy beige on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you prefer deeper contrast, a classic muted navy or slate blue on painted cabinetry or accent trim ties in naturally with the deeper water tones.
