Wallpaper - Greetings from Virginia Beach - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Virginia Beach wallpaper brings the classic mid-century screenprint postcard aesthetic into a large-scale wall mural format. Created in the signature style of The Tichnor Brothers, the design centers on bold dimensional lettering spelling out Virginia Beach, with each individual letter containing illustrated vignettes of coastal life, ocean landmarks, and sunlit shorelines. A backdrop of soft pastel waves in blue, green, and pink ties the composition together with a distinctly 1940s Americana charm. Produced as made-to-measure wallpaper with a subtle physical texture in the paper, this PVC-free design delivers expressive color and nostalgic detail to residential interiors.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal feature in a living room or vacation home, where its graphic typography and warm narrative illustrations have space to be enjoyed up close. Because the design is organized like a traditional large-letter postcard, it benefits from a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall area behind a sofa, low credenza, or daybed. Giving the full layout enough horizontal room ensures that every lettered scene remains clearly visible without being obscured by taller furniture.

In a relaxed coastal living space, the pattern acts as an anchor for the room. The sky blue foundation and pastel wave bands introduce rhythm across the wall, making it a natural choice for rooms with generous natural light that highlights the illustrated scenes within each letter.

Styling it

When decorating around this mural wallpaper, we suggest letting the graphic artwork take center stage while keeping surrounding furnishings balanced and grounded.

• Pair the vibrant screenprint colors with warm wood furniture or painted vintage pieces that reflect a classic Americana or mid-century interior style.
• Choose low-profile seating and open shelving so the complete lettering layout remains open and easy to view across the wall.
• Introduce neutral fabrics like off-white canvas or soft denim textures in throw pillows and upholstery to echo the casual beachside character without competing with the bold palette.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built on a sky blue base paired with soft wave tones of ocean green and blush pink, framed by vibrant accent colors within each letter illustration.

To create a cohesive scheme across the rest of the room, we recommend using off-white, light warm gray, or soft sand on adjacent walls and trim. If you want to carry the coastal energy into accents, pulling the muted green or sky blue into ceramics, cushions, or painted woodwork will connect the space naturally without overwhelming the eye.
