Wallpaper - Greetings from Burlington Airport - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Burlington Airport wallpaper brings the charm of mid-century Americana directly to the wall. Illustrated in a vintage screenprint postcard style by The Tichnor Brothers, the design depicts the red-brick terminal of Burlington Municipal Airport in Vermont, complete with its observation tower, railings, and a fluttering American flag. A classic red and white propeller plane rests nearby under a pale blue sky dotted with soft clouds. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper texture, this design offers an inviting touch of mid-20th-century travel nostalgia.

In the room

Because of its pictorial postcard composition, we see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal point in a home office, study, hallway, or guest bedroom. The horizontal balance between the architectural terminal on one side and the open sky above gives the mural a clear sense of narrative without feeling visually overcrowded.

On a feature wall behind a desk or across a main wall in an entryway, the artwork draws the eye across its detailed brickwork and vintage aircraft. In rooms with standard ceiling heights, the proportion of open sky in the upper half keeps the overall impression open, making it just as suitable for compact rooms as it is for wider, uninterrupted walls.

Styling it

To complement the retro travel character of this mural, we suggest grounding the space with mid-century or traditional interior pieces:

• Combine the wallpaper with warm, mid-tone wooden furniture, such as teak or warm oak desks and shelving, which harmonise with the illustrated brick tones.
• Introduce classic metal accents in aged brass or matte black through table lamps, door furniture, or task lighting to mirror the architectural linework of the airport tower.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger floor coverings in quiet, neutral textiles like oatmeal or warm grey so the detailed illustration remains the primary focus.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich brick red, earthy terracotta tones, crisp white, and an airy sky blue. When selecting colours for adjacent walls, skirting, or joinery, we suggest working with warm off-whites, parchment tones, or gentle cream to echo the postcard border and cloud details. For a deeper, more defined look, pulling out the warm brick red or a muted slate blue on painted woodwork creates an authentic period feel without clashing with the artwork.
