Wallpaper - Greetings from Lavallette - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Lavallette wallpaper reimagines a classic 1940s screenprint postcard by The Tichnor Brothers as an expressive, large-scale design. Bold block lettering spelling out "Greetings from Lavallette, N.J." frames miniature vignettes of sunny beaches, boats, and coastal cottages across the centre. In the background, a warm gradient shifts from soft pink into glowing orange and saffron tones, while colourful umbrellas and beachgoers bring lively detail to the lower scene. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings a vibrant, vintage feel to feature walls.

In the room

Because the design uses a strong central graphic with bold lettering, we think it works best on an open, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full postcard composition can be taken in at once. It sits naturally behind a low-backed sofa in a living room, above a plain headboard in a guest bedroom, or along an entryway where it creates an immediate point of interest. In a holiday home or a coastal-inspired space, the warm sunset tones and lively beach scenes bring energy without overwhelming the rest of the room, especially when the surrounding walls are kept clean and neutral.

Styling it

To balance the graphic typography and saturated saffron and orange shades, we suggest pairing this design with quiet, uncomplicated furniture. Mid-century silhouettes or clean, contemporary pieces in light or warm wood tones let the artwork remain the focal point. Plain woven textiles in off-white or natural ecru help soften the overall look, while simple matte black accents can pick up the printed linework in the illustration without adding visual clutter.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a warm palette of saffron, vibrant orange, and soft pink, grounded by the cooler blues and greens found inside the postcard letters. To let these shades stand out, we suggest keeping neighbouring walls in a clean off-white, light cream, or pale stone. If you want a more cohesive, sun-drenched look, warm sand or muted terracotta tones on painted woodwork or larger furniture pieces echo the background gradient nicely.
