Wallpaper - Greetings from Cape May - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Cape May wallpaper brings the nostalgic charm of a 1940s travel postcard to life on a grand scale. Created in the iconic screenprint style by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold block lettering that frames scenic coastal vignettes, from sunny beach days and lighthouses to sailboats and seaside strolls. Rich saffron orange, sunny yellow, and vivid blue tones give this mural wallpaper an energetic, vintage character that makes a playful graphic statement. Produced as a made-to-measure mural on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is straightforward to hang and adds instant personality to an accent wall.

In the room

Because the motif centers on large typography filled with illustrated scenes, we think this design works best on a wall with enough open space for the complete "CAPE MAY" lettering to be read easily. In a living room, hallway, or entryway, it serves naturally as a conversational focal point. The vibrant contrast and graphic nature also make it a charming fit for a vacation home, guest room, or a cozy reading nook where you want to introduce a touch of coastal Americana. Giving the mural an uninterrupted wall area ensures that the detailed vignettes inside each letter remain clearly visible without being obscured by tall furniture.

Styling it

With such a lively palette and strong graphic presence, we like to keep surrounding furniture relatively clean and grounded. Mid-century silhouettes, simple painted pieces, or warm wood finishes pair naturally with the 1940s vintage aesthetic. Choosing neutral upholstery or understated decorative accents allows the vibrant colors in the mural to take center stage without visual clutter.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a bold palette led by warm saffron orange, golden yellow, vivid sky blue, and deep navy outlines. To create a balanced interior, you can pull the crisp white or soft cream tones from the background into adjacent painted walls and trim. If you prefer a richer, more immersive look, echoing the warm saffron or ocean blue in accent cushions, painted furniture, or entryway details will tie the entire room together effortlessly.
