Wallpaper - Greetings from Miami - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Miami wallpaper brings the graphic character of a classic 1940s screenprint postcard directly to the wall. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design centers on arched, dimensional lettering spelling out "MIAMI", with each letter framing a detailed miniature scene: coastal palms at dusk, vintage airplanes on the airfield, sunny beachgoers, a bustling city skyline, and leisure boats sailing the bay. A radiant gradient backdrop moves from warm sunset yellow into clear sky blue, anchored below by bold red typography. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper texture, it adds nostalgic charm and vibrant color to any space.

In the room

This is a graphic, illustrative wallpaper that makes its strongest statement when given a clear, uninterrupted focal wall. In a living room or a dedicated vacation home living area, we recommend placing it on the primary feature wall, such as behind a sofa or across an accent wall that receives direct sightlines upon entering the room.

Because the central lettering forms a single arched visual block with fine scenic details inside each letter, keeping the middle of the wall relatively open helps preserve the full postcard composition. In open-plan living spaces, the vivid split between the sunny yellow upper field and the bright blue lower background helps anchor a conversation or seating zone, providing an energetic backdrop that enlivens the entire room.

Styling it

To let the detailed vintage illustration take center stage, we suggest styling the surrounding room with clean, mid-century-inspired or casual retro pieces rather than heavily patterned furnishings.

• Choose low-profile furniture in warm woods like teak or walnut, which naturally ground the bright yellow, sky blue, and red tones of the graphic print.
• Incorporate simple painted surfaces or crisp neutral upholstery to balance the high visual energy of the lettering and scenery.
• Bring in subtle coastal accents, such as natural woven reed or rattan details, to complement the tropical Florida motif without overwhelming the artwork.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a dynamic, sun-drenched palette dominated by clear sky blue, vibrant golden yellow, soft sunset orange, and accents of bright red and deep palm greens.

When decorating around this wall mural, we love pairing it with soft warm white or pale sand paint on adjacent walls, which allows the rich blue and yellow gradient to pop cleanly. If you prefer a richer, more immersive color scheme, drawing out the ocean blue for accent chairs or using deep coral and terracotta tones across throw pillows and smaller decor pieces creates a cohesive, retro-inspired color harmony.
