Wallpaper - Greetings from Lawrence - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Lawrence wallpaper brings the vibrant spirit of mid-century Americana straight to your interior. Based on an authentic vintage postcard design by The Tichnor Brothers, this screenprint-style motif features bold, three-dimensional lettering spelling out Lawrence, Mass. across a diagonal warm yellow and sky-blue gradient. Each letter contains a classic architectural landmark, including the town hall, post office, and local churches. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings graphic energy and historic character to any wall.

In the room

Because this design functions as a large-scale graphic artwork, we especially like it on a main feature wall in a living room or a relaxed vacation home. The strong horizontal tilt and sharp typography naturally draw the eye, making it well suited to a wide, open wall area where the full lettering and town vignettes can be viewed from a distance.

In a living space, positioning the motif behind a low-backed sofa or along an accent wall keeps the composition clear and legible. The sunny yellow centre and soft blue edges bring a warm, cheerful atmosphere into the room without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork take centre stage, we would keep surrounding furniture relatively simple and understated. Mid-century modern shapes and clean retro silhouettes pair naturally with the 1940s postcard aesthetic.

Natural warm wood finishes, such as teak or warm oak, complement the rich ochre and orange shadow lines in the lettering. Adding textured fabrics or muted upholstery around the room helps ground the vibrant primary tones while keeping the overall interior balanced and welcoming.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper palette combines sunshine yellow, sky blue, and warm orange-red striping with the muted architectural tones found inside each letter.

To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend pairing the mural with soft cream or warm off-white on adjacent walls, allowing the bright central yellow band to stand out. For trim, cabinetry, or accent decor, deep navy blue, terracotta, or muted olive green echo the vintage inks in the postcard illustrations.
