Wallpaper - Greetings from Bangor - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Bangor wallpaper brings the bold graphic charm of a classic mid-century postcard to your walls. Designed around the iconic 1940s screenprint style created by The Tichnor Brothers, the large-format lettering spells out "Greetings from Bangor, Maine", with each oversized letter containing an illustrated vignette of local historic buildings, quiet streets, and waterfront scenes. Rich reds, blues, and forest greens sit against a warm, printed background texture, giving the whole composition an unmistakable retro character. Like all our wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because of the strong central lettering and panoramic layout, we see this wall mural working especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, hallway, or home office. Giving the design a wider wall space lets the full "Greetings from Bangor" graphic stretch out naturally without losing the detail tucked inside each individual letter. In a holiday home or entryway, it instantly introduces a playful sense of travel and nostalgia. We would keep large, tall furniture away from the centre of the wall so the historic scenes and typography remain clear and readable.

Styling it

The graphic mid-century aesthetic of this design makes it a natural partner for vintage, retro, or eclectic interiors.

• Pair with warm mid-tone wood furniture, such as teak or walnut, which echoes the 1940s print heritage of the artwork.
• Balance the strong graphic typography with simple, solid-colour upholstery rather than competing patterns.
• Incorporate subtle brass or blackened metal accents in lighting or hardware to anchor the vintage colour palette.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a vibrant retro palette led by deep primary reds, skies of bright blue, and earthy greens, framed by a soft cream backdrop. When decorating around this wallpaper, we suggest picking up the warmer cream and parchment tones on adjacent walls and woodwork to let the central postcard stand out. For accent pieces, soft navy, muted terracotta, or forest green drawn from the letter illustrations create a cohesive and considered interior.
