Wallpaper - Greetings from New York - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from New York wallpaper brings the classic mid-century souvenir postcard aesthetic to life at full wall scale. Created from original 1940s imagery by The Tichnor Brothers, the design centers on bold "NEW YORK" block lettering, with each individual letter framing recognizable regional landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, a historic racetrack, and the state capitol. A warm sunset gradient of orange, apricot, and yellow glows across the sky alongside delicate white stars, balanced by pink pasture roses and green foliage in the foreground. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif is designed like an expansive vintage postcard, we see this wall mural working especially well as a focal point on a primary, relatively uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing it along a main accent wall behind a sofa allows the full graphic composition and typography to read clearly from across the room. It also brings strong character to a home office or study, where the graphic details and vivid illustration style add visual interest without feeling chaotic. For a vacation home, the nostalgic travel theme feels right at home in an open living or dining area where guests gather.

Styling it

The screenprint-inspired character and saturated 1940s color palette give this wallpaper a strong personality, so we like pairing it with furniture that has clean lines and grounded tones.

• Choose mid-century inspired furniture with warm wood finishes like teak, walnut, or honey oak to complement the retro travel artwork.
• Select upholstery in neutral tones like oat, charcoal, or cream, allowing the bold typography and sunset sky to remain the center of attention.
• Incorporate simple black metal light fixtures or hardware that echo the sharp graphic outlines inside the lettering.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a vibrant palette built around an apricot and orange sunset gradient, deep sky blue, rich greens, and soft pink floral accents. To create a balanced look, we suggest pulling from the softer background tones for adjacent walls, such as a muted warm cream or soft apricot beige. If you prefer more contrast, a deep navy or forest green on neighboring trim and cabinetry can pick up the darker tones within the letter illustrations and ground the entire space.
