Wallpaper - Greetings from Pennsylvania - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Pennsylvania wallpaper draws on the classic mid-century large-letter postcard style, originally created by The Tichnor Brothers in the 1930s. Set against a vibrant sky-blue backdrop, the bold block lettering arches across the wall in warm yellow, orange, and red tones, with each character framing iconic regional vignettes such as the Capitol dome, the Liberty Bell, a pagoda, and historic industrial figures. The screenprint-inspired graphic aesthetic brings crisp line work and retro charm together in a cheerful, expressive composition. Produced to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because the motif functions as a single graphic statement with strong horizontal lettering, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in an entryway or hall, where the full greeting can be taken in at once upon arrival. In a holiday home or a casual living area, giving the design a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the individual illustrations tucked inside each letter to stay clearly visible without being cut off by high furniture. The bright sky blue and contrasting warm lettering add plenty of visual energy, making it an engaging focal point in spaces dedicated to gathering, hobbies, or travel memories.

Styling it

To let the vibrant colours and bold typography lead the space, we suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings relatively understated:

• Pair the wallpaper with mid-century modern or vintage-inspired wooden furniture in warm honey or medium oak tones that complement the golden-yellow and orange lettering.
• Introduce dark metal or matte black lighting fixtures and hardware to echo the crisp graphic outlines within the screenprint design.
• Keep surrounding textiles simple in neutral off-white or unbleached tones so the large-scale print remains the primary visual focus in the room.

Colour combinations

The palette of our mural wallpapers centres on clear sky blue, highlighted by rich golden yellow, orange, and accents of red. On neighbouring walls, a crisp off-white or light warm grey offers a clean contrast that lets the blue background pop. For trim, skirting, or painted furniture, picking up a deeper navy can ground the brightness of the mural, while small decorative accents in mustard or terracotta naturally tie back into the lettering.
