Wallpaper - Greetings from Cape Cod Map - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Cape Cod Map wallpaper captures the graphic charm of mid-twentieth-century travel illustration. Designed in the visual character of a classic screenprint postcard from The Tichnor Brothers, this design features sunny yellow landmasses outlined with bold red roads, set against soft baby blue waters. Prominent landmarks and bodies of water, including Buzzards Bay, Cape Cod Bay, and Nantucket Sound, are clearly charted alongside beloved coastal towns like Provincetown, Hyannis, and Falmouth. The graphic lines and retro print aesthetic give the entire composition a vibrant, nostalgic feel. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this mural is made to measure to fit your dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We find this map design works exceptionally well when given a prominent wall in a living room, where the detailed town names and road routes can be explored up close. Because it balances large expanses of baby blue water with graphic landforms, it anchors an open-plan seating area or a holiday home lounge without visually overpowering the space. If you are placing it behind a sofa or low credenza, we recommend positioning the main Cape Cod hook above furniture height so the most intricate geographic details remain in plain sight. In rooms with steady natural daylight, the contrast between the warm yellow land and soft blue coastal waters feels especially crisp and welcoming.

Styling it

To complement the mid-century illustration style, we like pairing this wallpaper with simple, casual furnishings that do not compete with the busy graphic lines of the map.

Warm wood tones such as teak, warm oak, or pine echo the sunny yellow landforms and vintage print character. For upholstered pieces, we suggest choosing neutral creams, unbleached canvas, or deeper navy textiles to keep the room grounded while letting the wall mural stand as the primary decorative feature.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its baby blue coastal waters, warm yellow landmasses, and striking red highway lines, along with crisp black lettering.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling directly from the design. A soft off-white or light cream on adjacent walls creates an airy, relaxed backdrop. If you prefer more colour, a muted coastal blue or soft navy on surrounding joinery picks up the aquatic tones, while small decorative accents in warm tomato red can echo the distinctive road markings.
