Wallpaper - Greetings from Boston - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Boston wallpaper captures the graphic character of a mid-century travel souvenir, based on an original 1940s design by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, dimensional block letters spell out the city name, with each individual character framing a different historic building and landmark in rich illustrative detail. A saturated sky blue sky transitions into vivid orange across the background, giving the screenprint-style composition an energetic contrast and unmistakable Americana spirit. As with all Wallism designs, this wall mural is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this is a large-format illustrative scene rather than a small repeating pattern, we find it works best on an open, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full phrase and landmark vignettes can be seen clearly. In a living room, it naturally anchors a main seating zone when placed behind a low-backed sofa or along a primary feature wall.

It also makes an immediate impression in an entryway or hallway, bringing graphic interest and a sense of destination to arrival spaces. If you have a holiday home or vacation property, the retro travel motif fits right into that relaxed atmosphere. We suggest keeping tall storage units away from the central lettering so the artwork remains unobstructed.

Styling it

The graphic presence and vintage character of this mural wallpaper pair naturally with mid-century modern shapes and classic American design elements. We would balance the bold print work with relatively straightforward, warm timber furniture such as teak or medium oak, which complements the orange and gold tones in the lettering.

To keep the room feeling cohesive rather than overly busy, we recommend keeping surrounding upholstery and large floor rugs relatively plain. Clean lines, tailored neutral fabrics, and simple matte finishes help ground the vivid colours of the wallpaper without competing with the detailed illustrations.

Colour combinations

The palette is built around an expressive contrast between deep sky blue and warm sunset orange, supported by the multicoloured architectural details inside each letter.

To create a balanced interior around our wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with clean off-white or soft warm stone paint on adjacent walls. If you prefer deeper tones, picking up the rich navy or warm amber from the design on surrounding woodwork, shelving, or accent cushions helps connect the mural to the wider room.
