Wallpaper - Greetings from Pittsburgh - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Pittsburgh wallpaper captures the iconic mid-century aesthetic of large-letter souvenir postcards by The Tichnor Brothers. Bold, dimensional lettering spells out "Greetings From Pittsburgh Penna.", with each blocky letter revealing detailed graphic vignettes of the city’s architectural landmarks and bridges. Set against a luminous sky blue to warm yellow gradient background, vibrant orange and crisp black graphic outlines lend this retro cityscape mural a distinct screenprint-inspired character. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings graphic energy and vintage travel nostalgia into residential interiors.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a focal point in a living room, hallway, or home office where a full feature wall can give the wide typography room to breathe. Because the horizontal arrangement and distinct lettering carry strong graphic weight, our wallpaper benefits from being placed on an uninterrupted wall area where the entire composition remains clearly visible. In open-plan living areas or creative work spaces, the sunny transition from blue to golden yellow adds a bright, welcoming horizon that draws the eye across the space without feeling heavy.

Styling it

To complement the expressive 1940s graphic style, we recommend pairing our wallpaper with clean-lined mid-century or contemporary furniture that lets the large-scale typography stand at the centre of the room.

• Choose streamlined seating or low-profile credenzas in warm wood tones, such as teak or warm oak, which resonate naturally with the golden yellow backdrop.
• Balance the energetic postcard motif with solid, unpatterned textiles in muted neutrals or navy blue to keep the surrounding space grounded.
• Incorporate subtle matte black accents or simple metal lighting fixtures that echo the crisp black lettering outlines in the print.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a vibrant foundation of sky blue, bright yellow, warm orange, and rich black linework. For adjacent painted walls, skirting boards, or built-in joinery, we suggest pulling directly from the softer background tones. A pale sky blue, warm cream, or light sandy neutral on adjoining walls keeps the room cohesive and bright. If you prefer a bolder contrast, deep navy or slate grey on surrounding trims creates a handsome, tailored frame that sharpens the warmth of the orange and yellow typography.
