Wallpaper - Greetings from Massachusetts - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Massachusetts wallpaper captures the distinct graphic spirit of a vintage screenprint postcard. Designed with historic Americana character from The Tichnor Brothers, the composition features bold block lettering spelling out Massachusetts, with each letter framed around recognizable state landmarks including the Boston State Capitol building and historic architecture. A vivid gradient transitions from warm coral orange to cool blue in the background, balanced by an illustration of the state flower, the Mayflower. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper brings vibrant mid-century nostalgia to life across the wall.

In the room

Because of the large-scale typography and graphic postcard format, we see this wall mural working best where it can be seen from a slight distance. In a living room or a dedicated holiday home, giving the design a wide, unbroken feature wall lets each illustrated letter and landmark remain clearly legible. The bold horizontal composition also works well positioned above lower furniture, such as a credenza or low-backed sofa, ensuring the detailed vignettes across the lettering are not obscured.

Styling it

To balance the energetic 1940s travel poster aesthetic, we suggest pairing this design with relatively clean-lined furniture and restrained accents. Mid-century silhouettes and warm wood finishes complement the historic Americana look without competing with the busy graphic layout. Keeping surrounding decor simple allows the vibrant lettering and landmark illustrations to take center stage, while warm ambient lighting enhances the rich coral and golden tones across the design.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its warm coral, vivid orange, and contrasting sky blue palette, grounded by the golden yellows and architectural tones inside the letters. To complement these strong shades, we recommend using warm off-whites or soft sandy neutrals on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you want to pull out the richer accent tones, small touches of terracotta, muted teal, or mustard in your soft furnishings will echo the screenprint colours naturally.
