Wallpaper - Greetings from Hermosa Biltmore Hotel - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Hermosa Biltmore Hotel wallpaper brings the vibrant charm of a classic 1930s screenprint postcard directly to your interior. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design captures a sun-drenched beach scene at California's Hermosa Beach, complete with scattered, colourful parasols, figures strolling along the sand, and swimmers navigating the bright blue ocean waves. In the background, the historic architecture of the Hermosa Biltmore Hotel anchors the horizon beneath a soft sky. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this piece adds an authentic vintage travel aesthetic to any room.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper functions as a scenic vista, we like to see it placed on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall where the full horizontal composition can unfold. In a living room, hallway, or home study, positioning the design behind lower seating or a desk lets the detailed beach activity and architectural backdrop remain clearly visible. The open coastal horizon also works particularly well in vacation homes and lake houses, where the cheerful palette introduces an airy, relaxed focal point.

Styling it

The rich graphic quality and mid-century heritage of the print pair naturally with clean, retro-influenced interior elements:

• Choose simple furniture with slender profiles and warm wood finishes, keeping larger pieces relatively quiet so the detailed postcard illustration remains the focal point.
• Introduce understated textiles in natural weaves like linen or cotton to complement the vintage travel theme without competing with the vibrant print.
• Accent the room with mid-century modern lighting or matte ceramic decorative objects that echo the rounded shapes of the beach umbrellas.

Colour combinations

The illustration is defined by a vivid primary and coastal palette, featuring sky blue ocean tones, warm sandy beige, and cheerful pops of red and yellow across the parasols. For adjacent walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling from the softer background shades, such as a gentle sand, warm off-white, or muted sky blue, to keep the room balanced. If you prefer deeper contrast, a dark navy or warm terracotta on surrounding architectural features will pick out the richer print details.
