Wallpaper - Greetings from NYC - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from NYC wallpaper brings the distinctive aesthetic of a 1940s screenprint postcard to a generous architectural scale. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design centres on bold block lettering spelling out "Greetings from New York City", with each letter framing celebrated landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and classic skyscrapers. A warm, radiant red background layered with yellow sunburst rays introduces vibrant movement, anchored along the bottom by the deep blue silhouette of the skyline and bridge. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a graphic, nostalgic focal point for any interior.

In the room

Because this is an expansive, graphic mural with strong focal lettering, we see it performing best where the entire scene can be viewed without heavy interruption. An accent wall in a living room behind a low-backed sofa allows the full typographic composition and radiating background to command attention. In an entry or hallway, the vibrant theme provides an energetic welcome, instantly establishing a sense of place and vintage travel interest. For a vacation home, it works well on a primary feature wall where the nostalgic americana character adds personality without requiring an abundance of secondary decor.

Styling it

The graphic presence and vivid palette of this design invite thoughtful pairing with clean-lined furnishings and restrained decorative elements.

• We recommend pairing this design with mid-century modern furniture, such as low-profile timber credenzas or sleek seating, which echoes the 1940s graphic heritage without cluttering the foreground.
• Introduce dark, grounding accents like matte black lighting or deep navy upholstery to visually connect with the skyline silhouette along the base of the design.
• Keep surrounding accessories minimal and solid in colour so the rich pictorial detail within the lettering remains the hero of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is led by warm, popping tones: radiant red and sunburst yellow across the backdrop, balanced by deep blue in the skyline silhouette and varied multi-coloured details inside the typography. To complement these verified shades, we suggest keeping adjacent walls in muted warm neutrals, such as parchment, soft ivory, or light canvas, which allow the artwork to stand out without jarring contrast. For accent pieces or joinery, deep navy, slate blue, or rich oxblood echo the deeper tones in the print and ground the overall room scheme.
