Wallpaper - Greetings from Bar Harbor - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Bar Harbor wallpaper brings the vibrant aesthetic of classic mid-century American travel postcards directly to your interior. Created in collaboration with historic prints from The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold block lettering spelling out "Greetings from Bar Harbor, Maine," where each individual letter frames a distinct scenic vignette: coastal views with sailboats, lush greenery, classical park structures, fountains, and vibrant red floral accents. A warm, luminous orange-to-yellow gradient background anchors the composition, delivering rich nostalgic character. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an expressive focal point that is simple to hang.

In the room

Because of the bold central lettering and horizontal layout, we see this wall mural working especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire postcard composition can be taken in at once. In a living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa or along a primary open wall gives the artwork room to breathe without interrupting the scenic details inside the typography.

The graphic nature of the design also makes it a natural fit for a vacation home, whether in a shared gathering space, entryway, or guest living area where you want to introduce a distinct coastal Americana mood. In rooms with generous daylight, the warm orange, coral, and golden yellow tones in the background catch the light beautifully, while softer evening lighting brings out the deeper greens and blues contained within the lettering.

Styling it

When styling around such a graphic, expressive wall mural, we suggest keeping larger furniture relatively clean-lined to let the typographic artwork take center stage. Mid-century silhouettes, relaxed coastal furnishings, or classic vintage pieces complement the 1940s travel heritage naturally.

To maintain visual balance across the room:

• Choose warm or medium-toned wood furniture, which echoes the sunny warmth of the background gradient without competing for attention.
• Incorporate solid, tactile textiles in neutral linen or muted denim blue, picking up the maritime hues inside the letters while giving the eye a restful contrast.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent walls minimal so the bold lettering remains the undisputed focal point of the interior.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper features a vivid palette centered on rich coral, bright orange, and warm sunny yellow in the background, accented by coastal blues, forest greens, and vibrant pops of red within the scenic vignettes.

When painting adjacent walls or selecting trim, warm off-white or soft cream provides a calm, balanced frame that lets the gradient pop. If you want to draw out the coastal details in the lettering, surrounding the mural with muted marine blue, soft slate, or a desaturated sage green creates an intentional, cohesive palette that grounds the warmer background tones.
