Wallpaper - Greetings from Ocean City - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Ocean City wallpaper brings the sunny, graphic charm of a mid-century American travel postcard directly to your wall. Based on classic 1940s screenprint artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, the design centers on bold, blocky lettering filled with vibrant summer scenes: beachgoers under colorful umbrellas, lively boardwalks, and sweeping ocean views. Warm tones of sunny yellow and vibrant orange transition into rich blues, accented by vivid pops of red, green, and crisp black outlines that give the composition its distinct retro character. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an expressive statement for any coastal or vintage-inspired space.

In the room

We see this design working especially well as a focal point in a living room, family lounge, or vacation home where you want to introduce color and nostalgic character. Because the postcard composition is graphic and self-contained with large typography, it benefits from a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall area, such as behind a low-profile sofa or along an open wall where the entire scene can be appreciated without being broken up by tall cabinetry. If you are decorating a beach house or summer cottage, using it on a main gathering wall instantly sets a welcoming, relaxed tone while keeping the rest of the room feeling light and breezy.

Styling it

To balance the bold lettering and dynamic screenprint artwork, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Mid-century modern or relaxed coastal furnishings in warm natural woods, such as teak or light oak, echo the 1940s heritage of the motif without competing with its details. Solid, textured upholstery in soft cream, sand, or navy allows the colorful letter vignettes to stand out. Simple matte black or warm brass lighting accents complement the sharp outline work of the print, anchoring the overall room scheme.

Color combinations

The wallpaper incorporates a lively palette of golden yellow, warm orange, ocean blue, rich red, and lush green, framed by graphic black lines. To build a cohesive palette around it, consider pulling out the softer warm white and sandy tones from the design for adjacent painted walls and trim. If you prefer a richer contrast, deep navy or muted olive green on surrounding woodwork creates a grounded, tailored frame for the energetic mural.
