Wallpaper - Greetings from Wilmington - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Wilmington wallpaper brings the vibrant graphic charm of a classic mid-century travel souvenir directly to the wall. Created in collaboration with historic postcard art by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features bold Americana typography filled with miniature illustrations of local landmarks across Delaware. Set against a clean powder blue base and framed by dynamic diagonal accent stripes in orange, yellow, green, and purple, this screenprint-inspired motif delivers an authentic 1940s vintage aesthetic. Produced as a made-to-measure design on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our mural wallpapers bring distinct visual character and graphic warmth to your interior.

In the room

We love how this wall mural functions as a striking focal point, particularly across an accent wall in an entryway or living room. Because the typography and landmark vignettes carry detailed graphic work within a defined central composition, the design benefits from a relatively open wall area where the full postcard layout can be seen without heavy visual obstruction. In an entryway or hallway, it sets an immediate, welcoming tone as guests arrive. Within a living room, placing this wallpaper on the main wall behind a lower-profile sofa or media console keeps the central lettering and colorful diagonal banding clear and prominent.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork and bright palette stand out, we suggest pairing this design with relatively clean-lined furniture and restrained accent pieces. Mid-century modern sideboards, warm wood tones like teak or medium oak, and simple upholstered pieces in neutral tones allow the retro graphic elements to take center stage. You can naturally pick up on the energetic accent stripes by incorporating small decorative objects or cushions in mustard yellow, rust orange, or muted olive green without overwhelming the room.

Colour combinations

The foundation of this design is built on a soft powder blue background, accented by warm ochre yellow, vivid orange, forest green, and hints of deep purple within the diagonal stripe details. For surrounding walls and trim, off-whites, creamy linen tones, or a pale sky blue that reflects the wallpaper background work beautifully. If you prefer a richer contrast, deep olive green or warm terracotta on adjacent elements complements the retro Americana color palette while keeping the overall space grounded.
