Wallpaper - Greetings from St Petersburg - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from St Petersburg wallpaper captures the classic look of mid-century travel postcards, originally created by The Tichnor Brothers in the 1940s. The design features bold, graphic lettering spelling out "Greetings from St. Petersburg, Florida", with each character revealing coastal vignettes of sunny beaches, local architecture, and seaside figures. Radiating behind the large typography is a dynamic sunburst rendered in vivid shades of orange, coral, yellow, and clear blue. Printed on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this made-to-measure wallpaper mural creates an expressive focal point that celebrates vintage American travel graphics.

In the room

Because of the strong central lettering and wide sunburst composition, we see this wall mural working best on a main, uninterrupted wall where the full graphic layout can be appreciated without heavy visual breaks. It makes an engaging feature wall in an open-plan living area or a holiday home living room, positioned behind low-profile seating or across a dining space. In a hallway or entryway, the bold scale and warm seaside imagery provide a bright, welcoming arrival. For rooms with generous wall widths, the radiating rays expand naturally across the space, while keeping the surrounding surfaces relatively simple helps the vintage typography stand out as the primary visual element.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this graphic wallpaper with furnishings that have clean, simple profiles to balance the visual energy of the screenprint motif. Mid-century modern sideboards, low sofas, and streamlined dining pieces in warm woods like teak or lighter oak sit comfortably alongside the retro 1940s character.

To keep the room feeling cohesive and uncluttered, we suggest choosing quiet upholstery in neutral fabrics and incorporating accents that echo the coastal theme, such as matte ceramic details or simple framed graphic prints on adjacent walls.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design centers on bright coral, rich orange, warm sunny yellow, and contrasting sky blue tones. When planning adjoining painted walls and trim, we like using a soft off-white or light sand tone to let the bold tones of the mural remain the hero of the room. If you prefer to draw out the warmer hues, soft terracotta or muted peach can work well on adjacent woodwork or decorative textiles. For a fresher contrast, subtle coastal blues pulled directly from the sky and sea elements in the lettering create a balanced, sunlit atmosphere.
