Wallpaper - Greetings from Hyannis - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Hyannis wallpaper captures the classic look of mid-century Americana travel postcards. Created from historic artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold, blocky "HYANNIS" lettering set across a coastal harbor scene. Each dimensional letter reveals a miniature vignette of Cape Cod life, including breezy beaches, sailboats, and charming regional architecture. Sailboats drift across the lower water against a warm orange and amber sky, while the upper corner showcases a busy harbor pier. With its authentic screenprint-inspired grain and vibrant warm tones, this wall mural brings a distinct retro personality to any room. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this design functions as a large, graphic postcard, we think it works best on an unobstructed accent wall where the central lettering and panoramic harbor view can be appreciated as a whole. It makes an eye-catching focal point in a living room, entryway, or a dedicated vacation home. In a home office or creative studio, placing the mural on the wall opposite your desk provides a scenic, nostalgic view during the workday.

We would avoid placing tall bookcases or high-backed furniture directly against the center of the wall, as keeping the dimensional typography and sailboats visible helps maintain the narrative quality of the artwork. In spaces with generous natural light, the warm orange sky and deep water tones create a welcoming atmosphere throughout the day.

Styling it

The distinct 1940s travel aesthetic invites casual, heritage-inspired furnishings that celebrate classic American coastal style.

• Pair the mural with warm mid-tone wood furniture, such as teak or oak, to complement the nostalgic tone of the print without competing with its bold graphics.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large textiles simple, opting for solid woven textures in navy, cream, or muted indigo rather than busy patterns.
• Incorporate simple lighting with matte black or aged bronze fixtures to echo the graphic outlines within the vintage illustration.

Color combinations

The dominant palette in our design pairs warm sunset orange, ochre, and golden yellow with harbor blues, soft teals, and accents of forest green.

For adjacent walls and painted trim, a warm off-white or soft cream provides a crisp frame that highlights the vintage postcard aesthetic. If you prefer deeper contrast, pulling a classic navy or muted harbor blue from the water onto neighboring walls or built-in shelving gives the room a cozy, grounded feel. Accents in terracotta, rust, or weathered brass can naturally tie into the warm gradient of the sky.
