Wallpaper - Greetings from New York City - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from New York City wallpaper brings the charm of mid-twentieth-century travel ephemera straight onto the wall. Created in collaboration with historic prints from The Tichnor Brothers, this design features three classic landmarks; the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, and the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center; arranged in bold circular vignettes against a warm saffron-yellow backdrop. A distinctive screenprint aesthetic gives each architectural vignette a soft, graphic grain, framed by retro lettering across the lower composition. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural on subtly structured paper, it makes a striking statement wall for urban living spaces and creative rooms.

In the room

Because of its strong central layout and bold circular motifs, we find this mural wallpaper works best where it can be appreciated as a complete composition. In a living room or a dedicated sitting area, placing it along an uninterrupted focal wall; such as directly behind a low-profile sofa or along a main entertaining wall; allows the landmark illustrations and vintage typography to stand out without visual interruption.

The graphic nature of the design also lends itself well to a study, home library, or vacation home living area where you want to introduce architectural character and a clear sense of place. If you are decorating a room with standard ceiling heights, the horizontal balance of the three medallions helps anchor the room, drawing the eye across the space rather than making it feel enclosed.

Styling it

We recommend letting the bold graphic quality of the wallpaper lead the room, keeping large furniture pieces grounded and relatively simple in form. Mid-century modern furniture shapes or clean-lined contemporary pieces in warm wood tones, such as teak or medium oak, create a natural dialogue with the 1930s screenprint style.

To balance the strong saffron yellow and defined black print lines, you can incorporate matte black metal details in lighting fixtures, chair frames, or shelving. Upholstery in textured neutral weaves or deep navy accents will echo the blue architectural tones in the artwork while keeping the overall space feeling tailored and intentional.

Color combinations

The primary palette of our design centers on an energetic saffron yellow base, accented by crisp sky blues, architectural neutrals, and deep black print details.

When choosing paint colors for surrounding walls, baseboards, or cabinetry, consider pulling directly from these contrasting tones:

• Deep navy or midnight blue on adjacent walls or trim creates a rich, dramatic frame that makes the yellow ground pop with extra vibrancy.
• Soft warm off-white or light sand allows the wallpaper mural to remain the focal point while keeping the rest of the room airy and cohesive.
• Charcoal or soft black accents in furniture and woodwork reinforce the vintage screenprinted typography and graphic frames.
