Wallpaper - Greetings from Albany - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Albany wallpaper brings classic mid-century postcard art to life on a grand architectural scale. Originating from The Tichnor Brothers, this design features large three-dimensional block lettering framing historic city landmarks, set against a radiant sunburst of golden yellow, warm coral orange, and sky blue. In the lower right, the grand New York State Capitol building grounds the energetic composition with rich architectural detail. As with all Wallism mural wallpapers, each order is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an expressive focal point in your home.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in an entryway, living area, or holiday home where its bold typography can welcome guests immediately. Because the motif relies on a strong focal composition rather than a repetitive pattern, we would give our wallpaper an uninterrupted wall surface where the full lettering and architectural details remain unobstructed by tall cupboards or shelving. In a compact entry space, placing it along a main sightline creates instant character without cluttering the floor plan.

Styling it

To balance the bold retro aesthetic and graphic energy of the motif, we suggest keeping surrounding elements tailored and unfussy.

• Pair with clean mid-century modern furniture shapes, such as low-profile sideboards or credenzas, that allow the lower cityscape and letterforms to remain visible.
• Introduce warm wood finishes such as teak or rich walnut to echo the vintage Americana aesthetic of the postcard.
• Incorporate simple matte black metal accents or quiet lighting fixtures that contrast neatly with the vibrant yellow and coral rays.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vibrant palette of coral orange, warm yellow, sky blue, and earthy brick tones within the historic buildings. Around it, we recommend drawing on the softer off-white or cream tones from the background for adjacent painted walls and woodwork to give the mural breathing space. For a bolder, cohesive look across textiles or accents, deep navy or burnt terracotta can echo the rich architectural shadows and vibrant sunburst without competing with the central artwork.
