Wallpaper - Greetings from Tampa - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Tampa wallpaper captures the vivid graphic character of classic mid-century postcard art by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, dimensional block letters spell out the city name, with each individual letter framing illustrative vignettes of local scenes, parks, boats, and historic architecture. The crisp red accents and bold dark outlines give the lettering sharp definition against a soft blue and warm yellow gradient background. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design brings an engaging retro road-trip feel to any room.

In the room

Because this design functions as a large-scale graphic scene, we think it works best when given an open, uninterrupted wall where the full typography and scenic lettering can be seen from across the room. In a living room, dining area, or a vacation home hallway, positioning the wallpaper behind lower seating or a clean console table allows the intricate details inside each letter to stay clearly visible without competing with tall furniture. The warm yellow and sky-blue gradient creates an open, sunlit atmosphere that feels especially inviting in social spaces with good natural light.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this retro Americana design with clean, mid-century-inspired pieces or relaxed casual furniture that does not crowd the wall.

• Keep large furniture low in profile, choosing simple sofas or credenzas in warm timber or neutral upholstery so the artwork remains the central visual focus.
• Incorporate simple lighting or subtle matte metal hardware in dark bronze or black to echo the crisp linework of the lettering.
• Balance the graphic energy of the wall mural by keeping surrounding fabrics and rugs solid or lightly textured rather than heavily patterned.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on warm golden yellow, sky blue, crisp white, and vivid red accents. When choosing paint for adjacent walls and woodwork, soft warm off-whites, creamy parchment, or pale buttery tones create a gentle transition that supports the background gradient. If you prefer a bolder contrast, pulling out the deep red from the letter shadows or introducing accents in muted navy can tie the whole space together nicely.
