Wallpaper - Greetings from NYC - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from NYC - Screenprint Postcard wallpaper brings the vibrant energy of mid-century graphic travel art directly to your wall. Originating from archival designs by The Tichnor Brothers, this design captures the classic 1940s linen-card aesthetic with bold, oversized lettering spelling out "Greetings from New York City." Each letter showcases vignettes of iconic landmarks, from the Statue of Liberty to towering skyscrapers, set against a radiant red and orange sunburst background with a deep blue skyline silhouette grounding the composition. Printed to your exact dimensions, our made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle physical structure in the paper that complements vintage print artwork.

In the room

Because the artwork has such strong graphic presence and rich retro color, we like seeing this design on a dedicated feature wall where the full typography and panoramic composition can be viewed without heavy interruption. In a living room, it works naturally behind a sofa or along a main entertaining wall, anchoring the space with a lively urban focal point. It is also an exciting choice for an entryway or hallway, where the welcoming postcard theme immediately sets a warm, energetic tone as soon as you step inside. For a vacation home or city apartment, the bold horizontal layout and radiant sunburst lines draw the eye upward and outward, giving narrower walls a sense of breadth and movement.

Styling it

When styling around such an expressive, high-contrast print, we recommend balancing the wall with furniture that has clean silhouettes and grounded finishes.

• Choose furniture in warm, mid-toned woods or simple painted finishes so the vibrant red and orange backdrop remains the clear focal point.
• Balance the graphic detail of the lettering by pairing the wall with solid upholstery and unpatterned textiles rather than competing prints.
• Incorporate subtle blue or charcoal decorative accents that pick up the bridge and skyline silhouettes along the bottom edge of the mural.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a warm, popping palette centered around energetic red, glowing orange, and vibrant yellow sunburst tones, contrasted with deep skyline blues and crisp postcard lettering. When selecting paint colors for adjacent walls and trim, softer neutrals work best to let the design sing. We suggest pairing it with warm off-white, creamy linen, or soft biscuit tones to maintain a bright, inviting room feel. If you prefer deeper contrast, pulling the muted navy or slate blue from the bridge silhouette into adjacent doors, baseboards, or built-in shelving creates a cohesive, tailored frame around the artwork.
