Wallpaper - Greetings from Fort Lauderdale - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Fort Lauderdale wallpaper captures classic mid-century holiday nostalgia through a graphic screenprint postcard composition. Designed with artwork from The Tichnor Brothers, the design centres on bold block letters filled with scenic vignettes of boats, palm-lined architecture, and sunny coastal scenes. Soft gradient bands of pastel pink, yellow, and blue create the backdrop, accented by bright yellow script lettering. As with all our wall murals, it is produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this design functions as a large, graphic piece of vintage travel art, we think it works best as a dedicated focal point on a clear, uninterrupted wall. In a living room or holiday home, positioning the mural wallpaper behind a sofa or across the main seating area gives the typography and detailed letter vignettes room to be seen in full.

The horizontal layout and generous pastel background help keep the design feeling open rather than crowded. To let the vintage screenprint details stand out, we suggest choosing a wall that is not overly broken up by high cabinetry or heavy wall art, allowing the bold lettering to ground the room.

Styling it

When decorating around this wallpaper, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and uncomplicated so the graphic typography remains the main feature. Mid-century modern shapes or relaxed coastal furnishings sit naturally alongside the 1940s postcard aesthetic.

• Pair with lighter wood or warm timber furniture to echo the sunny, relaxed mood of the artwork.
• Choose upholstered seating in quiet, solid tones like soft sand or warm cream to let the colourful scenes in the lettering stand out.
• Incorporate simple retro-inspired lighting, such as warm brass or matte white fixtures, to subtly complement the mid-century character without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper brings together a cheerful palette of pastel pink, soft yellow, sky blue, and vibrant yellow script, alongside deeper tones inside the scenic letter vignettes.

When choosing paint for adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, pale cream, or muted sandy tones create a calm setting that lets the pastel gradient take the lead. For a slightly more cohesive scheme, you can pull the soft yellow or sky blue from the background into smaller painted details, cushions, or accent seating.
