Wallpaper - Greetings from Virginia Beach - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Virginia Beach wallpaper brings the graphic charm of mid-century Americana straight into your home. Designed by The Tichnor Brothers in the classic 1940s large-letter postcard style, the artwork showcases bold, dimensional lettering spelling out Virginia Beach VA, with each character framing sunny seaside vignettes, coastal landmarks, and beach life. The vibrant typography is set against a flowing, graphic backdrop of soft pastel waves in sky blue, seafoam green, and blush pink. As with all Wallism wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal composition and graphic typography, we see this design working best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing it along the main wall behind a low sofa allows the central lettering and postcard framing to be appreciated without tall furniture cutting into the illustrated scenes.

The lighter sky blue base and pastel wave movement keep the mural wallpapers feeling airy rather than overly heavy, making it equally fitting for a relaxed holiday home or a bright family lounge. For rooms with plenty of daylight, the soft gradations in the background waves and the vivid primary tones inside each letter stand out with distinct clarity.

Styling it

When styling around such an expressive, vintage-inspired motif, we recommend letting the wall mural serve as the primary focal point and balancing it with simpler mid-century or retro-leaning pieces.

Low-profile furniture with clean lines keeps the lettering visible and anchors the space without competing for visual attention. Warm wood tones, such as teak, walnut, or honeyed pine, naturally complement the 1940s character of the illustration and bring an inviting warmth to the coastal palette. For upholstery and textiles, plain woven fabrics in sandy neutrals, crisp off-whites, or soft chambray blues provide a calm foreground that lets the colourful beach scenes pop.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a lively palette centred on clear sky blue, pastel wave tones of pink and soft green, and rich pops of red, yellow, and navy within the lettering vignettes.

To create a cohesive scheme, we suggest painting adjacent walls and trim in a soft, chalky off-white or a very pale sky blue drawn from the background pattern. If you prefer deeper contrast, accents in nautical navy or warm brick red echo the classic tones of the postcard graphics without overwhelming the surrounding room.
