Wallpaper - Greetings from New Jersey - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from New Jersey wallpaper reimagines the classic mid-century large-letter postcard as a striking graphic wall mural. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold block typography angled across the surface, with each dimensional letter revealing iconic vignettes of coastal piers, monuments, and historic architecture. A warm sky gradient transitioning from dusky rose to sunshine yellow provides an open backdrop, balanced by the Trenton State Capital building in the lower right corner and delicate purple violets, the state flower, in the bottom left. As with all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its strong focal typography and rich illustrative scenes, we recommend giving this wallpaper a prominent, relatively uninterrupted wall. It works exceptionally well in an entryway or foyer, where the oversized "Greetings" immediately establishes character and a sense of place. In a vacation home or coastal retreat, it functions naturally as a statement accent wall behind low-profile seating or opposite an open doorway, allowing the full composition to remain visible. In a home office or study, positioning the mural along the primary view line brings warmth and vintage graphic interest without overwhelming functional workspace elements.

Styling it

To let the detailed illustrations within each letter remain the visual hero, we suggest balancing the space with clean-lined mid-century or retro-inspired furnishings. Low-slung wood pieces, such as a teak console table or a simple walnut desk, ground the warm gradient without competing with the bold lettering. For surrounding decor, keep artwork on adjacent walls minimal, opting instead for simple ceramics, matte black hardware, or understated lighting that echoes the 1940s vintage aesthetic.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a warm palette anchored by sunshine yellow, blush pink, lavender-purple violets, and deep slate tones within the architectural vignettes. When decorating the surrounding space, we suggest picking up the golden yellow or soft rose tones in decorative textiles, accent cushions, or adjacent trim to create an inviting continuation. If you prefer a more grounded look, pairing the mural with deep charcoal, warm off-white, or muted olive green on adjacent walls helps the vibrant letterforms pop with clean contrast.
