Wallpaper - Greetings from Newark - Screenprint Postcard

Featuring artwork by The Tichnor Brothers, our Greetings from Newark wallpaper captures the classic look of mid-20th-century American travel postcards. Bold three-dimensional block lettering spells out "NEWARK" across a vibrant saffron-orange sunburst and warm sky, with each letter framed like a window looking onto city views, historic architecture, streets, and transportation. Black script in the corner and bold red lettering anchor the graphic composition with vintage screenprint character. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings energetic color and nostalgic character to a feature wall.

In the room

Because the design is structured around one large central graphic composition, we see it working especially well as an accent wall in an entryway, living room, game room, or home office. The bold typography and horizontal momentum give the motif a strong focal presence, making it ideal for a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full "Greetings from Newark" greeting and architectural lettering remain completely visible. Placing it on a wall behind a low credenza, sofa, or desk keeps the detailed letter vignettes in clear sight.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic quality of the screenprint style, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with mid-century modern furniture, clean industrial lines, or retro-inspired accents. Warm wood finishes like walnut or medium oak connect naturally with the sunburst backdrop, while matte black metal lighting and simple hardware echo the dark outline of the 3D lettering. Keeping surrounding decorative accessories minimal allows the rich visual storytelling within each letter to take center stage without visual clutter.

Color combinations

The artwork features a warm palette anchored by saffron orange, golden yellow, soft blue, and rich red accents, balanced by deep black outlines and green architectural detailing inside the lettering. On adjoining walls, we suggest pulling out a soft warm white, muted cream, or subtle slate blue to create an inviting contrast that lets the mural wallpapers pop. For bolder interior schemes, deep navy or burnt orange decor accents complement the vintage Americana tones.
