Wallpaper - Greetings from Hampton Beach - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Hampton Beach wallpaper brings the vibrant spirit of mid-century Americana straight to your interior. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers in the 1940s, this screenprint-inspired design features bold, blocky three-dimensional lettering spelling out "HAMPTON BEACH N.H.", topped with cursive script reading "Greetings from". Each letter acts as a window into coastal holiday life, showcasing swimmers, sunbathers, boardwalk scenes, and classic seaside architecture. Set against a graphic backdrop of radiating diagonal stripes in coral, orange, golden yellow, sky blue, and navy, this lively wall mural creates an instant focal point. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, giving your wall an authentic, artful presence.

In the room

Because the motif functions as a large-scale graphic statement, we see this wallpaper working exceptionally well as an accent wall in a living room, hallway, holiday home, or games room. The expansive letterforms and rich miniature scenes naturally draw the eye, making it ideal for a wider, uninterrupted wall area where the entire layout can be enjoyed without heavy disruption. In a social living space or dining area, positioning the mural behind a low sofa, credenza, or dining table keeps the energetic lettering and coastal vignettes completely visible while anchoring the room.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic quality and nostalgic seaside motif of this design, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively grounded and clean-lined. Mid-century modern pieces in warm wood tones, such as teak or warm oak, naturally complement the 1940s vintage aesthetic without competing with the busy imagery. For soft furnishings, solid-coloured fabrics in off-white, denim blue, or muted terracotta provide visual rest against the multi-coloured diagonal background, letting the artwork remain the undisputed star of the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on an expressive palette of coral, burnt orange, golden yellow, cerulean blue, and deep navy, balanced by soft sandy neutrals in the beach vignettes. When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we recommend picking up on the softer tones within the print. A warm linen white or creamy off-white keeps the room feeling bright and open, while a muted coastal blue or sandy beige creates a relaxed, cohesive backdrop that ties directly into the vintage seaside theme.
