Wallpaper - Greetings from East Hartford - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from East Hartford wallpaper brings classic mid-century graphic character to the wall in the style of a vintage screenprint postcard. Designed by The Tichnor Brothers, the motif features bold lettering spelling out "EAST HARTFORD CONN.", with each letter containing detailed local scenes including buildings, trees, a swimming pool, and a nostalgic "LIBERTY STORES" sign. Set against a warm sunset gradient of yellow and orange with vivid blue, red, and black accents, this design captures timeless Americana with graphic punch. Like all our wall murals, it is made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as an accent wall in a living room, hallway, or home office where the large-format lettering has space to make an impression. Because the design relies on a single sweeping composition rather than an all-over repeating pattern, it benefits from an uninterrupted wall area where the entire postcard framing and typographic detail remain clear. In a wider room, positioning this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa or along an open dining wall lets the scenic vignettes inside each letter draw the eye without feeling obstructed.

Styling it

The distinct 1940s travel-poster graphic style pairs naturally with vintage, mid-century modern, or eclectic interiors. To keep the focus on the vibrant artwork, we suggest balancing the wall with simple furniture silhouettes and warm materials.

• Choose warm mid-tone woods such as teak or walnut for shelving, desks, or credenzas, which echo the nostalgic warmth of the yellow and orange backdrop.
• Keep surrounding seating and large upholstery in clean, understated textures, allowing the graphic typography to serve as the main focal point of the space.
• Introduce subtle black metal accents in lighting or frames to tie in with the bold outlines and dark typography within the print.

Colour combinations

The design is anchored by a warm palette of sunshine yellow, rich orange, and sky blue, balanced by crisp white highlights and dark red and black detailing. When decorating around the wallpaper, pairing adjacent walls with soft off-white or light cream allows the sunny gradient to stand out naturally. For a more grounded feel, deep navy or muted olive accents elsewhere in the room connect nicely with the postcard's detailed vignettes.
