Wallpaper - Greetings from Delaware - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Delaware wallpaper brings the distinct aesthetic of mid-century Americana into large-scale interior wall murals. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, this vintage screenprint postcard design features bold retro block lettering spelling out the state name, with each letter framing detailed scenes of local landmarks, coastal beaches, historic architecture, and racetracks. Rendered against a vibrant saffron yellow to pink gradient background with accents of pink peach blossoms and the red-brick Dover State Capitol, the mural wallpaper captures an energetic, nostalgic character. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a graphic statement piece for any residential interior.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a dedicated feature wall in an entryway, hallway, or living room. Because the composition relies on strong central typography and intricate scenic details within each letter, giving it an open, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full lettering and panoramic gradient to be appreciated without visual clipping.

In a vacation home or a welcoming entrance space, the warm saffron and pink tones create an inviting atmosphere right from the doorway. If you are placing furniture along the wall, lower profiles such as a low sideboard, a hallway bench, or a console table work best to keep the main graphic elements and scenic vignettes visible.

Styling it

The bold retro aesthetic and screenprint character of this wall mural make it an ideal focal point alongside mid-century modern, vintage, or classic Americana interiors. To balance the vibrant palette and dense detail of the lettering, we suggest keeping surrounding elements relatively grounded:

• Pair the wall with warm wood furniture or painted mid-century pieces that complement the nostalgic 1940s character of the print.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large textiles in understated solid tones, allowing the graphic state motifs and typography to remain the primary focus of the room.
• Introduce subtle black metal accents or simple framed vintage decor to anchor the warm saffron and pink tones without adding competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a warm base of saffron orange, golden yellow, and rosy pink, complemented by the classic red-brick tones of the Capitol and lush green landscape accents inside the lettering.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls or trim, we recommend soft warm whites, creamy off-whites, or muted sandy tones that let the mural stand out. For a bolder, more cohesive look, you can draw directly from the motif by selecting a warm terracotta, muted brick red, or a soft peach accent colour for woodwork, doors, or neighbouring cabinetry.
