Wallpaper - Greetings from Los Angeles - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Los Angeles wallpaper captures the expressive Americana spirit of classic 1940s travel postcards, originally created by The Tichnor Brothers. Large block lettering dominates the composition, with each letter filled with detailed California city scenes, palm trees, and landmark views. The background transitions smoothly from sky blue into warm saffron orange, echoing a glowing sunrise or sunset horizon. A screenprinted visual texture gives the motif its authentic retro print character. Produced to your exact measurements, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle paper structure that complements detailed graphic motifs.

In the room

Because of the scale of the typography and panoramic composition, this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the complete lettering and horizon can be seen in full. In a living room or open-plan lounge, we would position our mural wallpapers behind a low sofa or along a main entertaining wall so the graphic letters remain unobstructed. The warm transition between blue and saffron orange brings visual energy to spaces that receive plenty of daylight, while in a holiday home or relaxed sitting room, it creates an immediate conversational focal point.

Styling it

The graphic quality of this screenprint motif pairs naturally with mid-century modern furniture, retro Americana accents, and contemporary casual layouts. We suggest keeping larger upholstered furniture relatively streamlined in shape and quiet in pattern so the wall mural carries the visual focus of the room.

Warm wood tones such as teak, walnut, or honeyed oak complement the saffron and golden hues in the print. To balance the vibrant colour palette, consider incorporating neutral soft furnishings or matte black metal accents in lighting and table bases, which echo the bold outlines of the vintage typography.

Colour combinations

The motif is built around a vibrant palette of saffron orange, warm sunset tones, sky blue, and crisp graphic outlines framing scenic vignettes.

When choosing surrounding colours for adjacent painted walls or woodwork, we suggest drawing out the softer elements of the design. A clean warm off-white or light stone keeps the room airy and lets the mural take centre stage. For a moodier, cohesive look, deep navy or slate blue on adjacent walls picks up the sky tones in the lettering. If you prefer warmer palettes, muted terracotta or soft saffron textiles tie in naturally with the vintage sunset gradient.
