Wallpaper - Greetings from Traverse City - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Traverse City wallpaper brings the vibrant spirit of classic mid-century Americana to your walls with an authentic 1940s screenprint postcard aesthetic. Designed from artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, this design showcases oversized lettering where each character frames a scenic vignette, including sunny beach views, lush green trees, historic architecture, and a vintage car. Dynamic diagonal stripes in bright orange and warm yellow stretch across a sky-blue backdrop, creating an expressive graphic statement with distinct retro charm. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper featuring a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of the bold typography and distinct graphic vignettes across the lettering, we see this design working best on an open, uninterrupted wall where the full phrase and horizontal composition have space to unfold. In a living room or a dedicated vacation home, it serves naturally as a visual anchor behind a main seating area or across a feature wall. The strong horizontal energy and pop of color give the room an immediate sense of character without requiring heavy architectural ornamentation.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furnishings relatively grounded so the wallpaper remains the focal point. Low-profile mid-century modern furniture, clean-lined credenzas, and simple painted woodwork complement the vintage poster graphic without competing with its detailed scenes. Warm wood finishes, such as teak or walnut, harmonize easily with the golden yellow and orange tones, while matte black accents or simple metal lighting fixtures provide a crisp frame for the lively palette.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a vivid interplay of sky blue, citrus orange, and bright yellow, grounded by natural greens and architectural neutrals tucked inside the letter illustrations. To build a balanced palette around the room, pair it with soft warm whites or sandy beige on adjacent walls to keep the focus squarely on the mural wallpapers. If you want to draw out the print's warm undertones, incorporate deeper rust or mustard accents through throw pillows, pottery, or upholstery.
