Wallpaper - Greetings from Erie - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Erie wallpaper brings the classic mid-century linen postcard style directly to your walls. Designed originally by The Tichnor Brothers, this graphic wall mural features bold, dimensional lettering spelling out "ERIE, PA." that frames scenic vignettes of sailboats, harbor views, bridges, and coastal greenery. Radiating behind the title is a warm sunburst in stripes of sunshine yellow, orange, and deep red, contrasted against a soft retro blue background with a subtle screenprint-inspired texture. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a gentle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif functions as a centered graphic statement, we see this mural wallpaper working particularly well on an uninterrupted accent wall where the full lettering and radiating lines can spread out comfortably. In an entryway or entry hall, it creates an inviting, characterful greeting that immediately sets a nostalgic tone for the home. It also feels right at home in a vacation home, lakeside retreat, or open living area where you want the wall to serve as a conversational focal point. Giving the wallpaper a wall free from tall bookcases or high-backed furniture helps preserve the full view of the harbor and landscape scenes nestled inside each letter.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic quality of the screenprint artwork, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean and grounded. Mid-century modern pieces, warm wood sideboards, and vintage-inspired leather seating complement the 1940s Americana aesthetic naturally. In a hallway or entryway, a simple low wooden bench beneath the mural anchors the wall without cutting across the lower details of the lettering. Choosing quiet, solid textures for nearby rugs and upholstery allows the vibrant sunburst pattern to remain the primary visual focus in the space.

Color combinations

The palette is built around sunshine yellow, rich orange, brick red, and vintage sky blue, framed by crisp black and cream letter outlines. To create a cohesive room scheme, consider pulling the soft blue tone onto adjacent painted walls or trim for a relaxed, atmospheric look. Alternatively, warm off-white or cream woodwork mirrors the aged linen paper background and lets the primary colors pop. For furniture and decorative accents, warm cognac leather, terracotta ceramics, or deep navy upholstery tie directly into the warm and cool shades woven throughout the scenic letters.
