Wallpaper - Greetings from Delaware - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Delaware wallpaper brings the distinctive visual character of mid-century screenprint postcards into a large-format wall mural. Created by The Tichnor Brothers in the 1940s style, the composition centers on bold block lettering spelling out Delaware, with each letter framing vignettes of coastal beaches, historic architecture, lighthouses, and local landmarks. Warm saffron yellow, orange, and soft pink tones create a vibrant background gradient, accented by blooming pink peach blossoms and the red-brick State Capitol. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, giving your wall an authentic retro Americana feel.

In the room

Because this design functions as a graphic feature mural, we like using it on an entryway wall, a hallway, or in a vacation home living area where the complete lettering can be taken in at once. The large-scale typography and detailed vignettes benefit from an open, relatively uninterrupted wall space so the text and individual scenes remain legible. In an entry or foyer, it establishes an immediate sense of place and nostalgic warmth, while in a living room, placing it along a primary feature wall keeps the energetic layout balanced without overwhelming smaller adjacent surfaces.

Styling it

To complement the graphic Americana style of this mural, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined mid-century or traditional furniture that does not compete with the bold lettering.

Warm wood tones like walnut or natural oak echo the golden saffron and orange hues in the sky gradient. Choosing upholstered pieces or painted accents in subdued neutral tones allows the vivid colors of the postcard artwork to serve as the visual centerpiece of the room.

Color combinations

The artwork is anchored by warm saffron orange, golden yellow, and dusty pink, balanced by the red-brick tones of the Dover Capitol and the blue and green accents within each letter.

For surrounding walls and trim, we recommend pulling out creamy off-white or muted warm beige to keep the space bright and cohesive. If you want a richer accent on adjacent cabinetry or baseboards, a deep brick red or soft coastal navy connects naturally with the illustrated details inside the letters.
