Wallpaper - Greetings from Maine - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Maine wallpaper brings the bold character of mid-century travel art directly to your wall. Based on classic 1940s postcard art by The Tichnor Brothers, the design centers on large, graphic lettering where each individual character of "MAINE" showcases a distinct landscape vignette. Inside the letters, you will spot everything from a stately white capitol building with a gilded dome and a tranquil mountain lake to a wild forest bear and a dramatic, rocky Atlantic coast. Framed by vivid yellow and red border bands and set against a soft green-to-blue gradient backdrop, this mural wallpaper captures an unmistakable Americana aesthetic. Like all Wallism wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its strong graphic layout and central typography, we see this design working particularly well as a focal point in a living room, open entryway, or a dedicated vacation home. The scale of the large lettering and the framed border means the wallpaper benefits from a wall with enough width for the entire composition to unfold without heavy interruptions from tall storage units or large media consoles.

In a hallway or creative home studio, placing this wall mural on a feature wall instantly establishes a warm, nostalgic focal point. If you are styling a vacation home or a lakeside cabin, giving this design an uninterrupted expanse behind a sofa or dining table creates a welcoming, conversational backdrop that anchors the entire room.

Styling it

We recommend letting the bold colors and distinct 1940s aesthetic lead the styling of the room. Keep the surrounding larger furniture relatively clean-lined and understated so the detailed letter vignettes remain the visual star of the space.

• Ground the energetic primary and secondary tones of the wallpaper with natural warm wood furniture, such as a mid-century walnut sideboard or a simple pine dining table.
• Introduce understated textiles in solid neutral tones, like a light cream flat-weave rug or unpatterned window drapery, which balance the graphic nature of the print.
• Accent the room by drawing subtle colors from the artwork, such as a deep navy throw pillow or a muted mustard ceramic lamp base, tying the surrounding decor directly into the mural.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a vibrant and balanced palette anchored by an airy green-to-blue gradient base, bordered by striking primary yellow and red bands. Inside the letterforms, you will find rich forest greens, lake blues, earthy browns, and crisp architectural whites.

For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, we recommend staying with soft, calming tones that let the mural shine. Off-whites, warm stone, or a pale sky blue on trim and neighboring surfaces will create a cohesive atmosphere without competing with the vivid postcard palette. If you prefer a richer look, a deep slate blue or pine green on surrounding wainscoting or cabinetry echoes the landscape tones within the letters.
