Wallpaper - Greetings from Bar Harbor - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Bar Harbor wallpaper brings the classic mid-century American travel souvenir into a large format. Based on historic print work by The Tichnor Brothers, the design centres on bold block lettering where each character reveals a distinct coastal vignette, from quiet harbour waters and sailing boats to lush green trees, park fountains, and bright seaside blooms. A vivid gradient background shifting from warm orange to golden yellow frames the typography, giving the entire motif a sunlit, nostalgic presence. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure that hangs cleanly on your wall.

In the room

With its graphic lettering and rich scenic details inside each letter, we see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated lounge in a holiday home. The panoramic layout and strong horizontal title benefit from an open, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full typography can be read without tall furniture cutting across the centre. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa allows the warm backdrop and detailed coastal views to anchor the seating area.

Styling it

Because the motif carries significant visual energy and typographic character, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Natural timber pieces in warm honey or mid-toned finishes complement the vintage print aesthetic without competing with the illustration. Pairing the mural with clean-lined seating in neutral upholstery, such as natural canvas or oatmeal fabric, lets the artwork remain the focal point of the room while keeping the overall atmosphere relaxed and inviting.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is led by the bold orange, coral, and warm yellow gradient across the background, balanced by the blues of the coastal waters and rich greens within the lettering. For adjacent walls, we suggest softer off-whites, warm biscuit tones, or gentle linen shades that echo the warm ground without overwhelming the space. Deep navy or coastal blue accents in surrounding soft furnishings can also pick up the maritime tones inside the scenic vignettes, tying the broader room together.
