Wallpaper - Greetings from Rochester - Screenprint Postcard

Capturing the vibrant feel of a classic mid-century postcard, our Greetings from Rochester wallpaper brings vintage aviation directly into the home. The scene centres on a classic American Airlines jet resting on the airport tarmac, accented by bold red and blue stripes and framed by ground service vehicles. In the background stands the distinctive Rochester, N.Y. terminal building with its clock tower, set beneath a wide expanse of clear blue sky. Graphic lettering across the top completes the retro look, balancing rich architectural detail with generous open space. Printed made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our mural wallpapers are straightforward to hang and make an eye-catching focal point.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, hallway, or dedicated home office. Because the motif is arranged like a vintage postcard, with the primary aircraft, tarmac vehicles, and terminal architecture sitting lower in the frame, it accommodates low-profile furniture naturally. Positioning a desk or low sideboard along the lower section leaves the clock tower, the open blue sky, and the bold header text fully visible. The generous field of sky across the upper half helps the composition feel open and expansive, making it an engaging feature in rooms with higher ceilings or wider, uninterrupted wall areas.

Styling it

To complement the mid-century character of this wall mural, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined retro furniture and simple, functional materials:

• Work with warm wood tones such as teak, walnut, or warm oak to naturally complement the 1960s aesthetic of the artwork.
• Select upholstery and textiles in solid, neutral fabrics or rich primary accents that echo the colours in the print rather than competing patterns.
• Keep wall lighting and hardware restrained, using matte black metal or warm brass finishes that anchor the graphic elements of the print.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around clear sky blue, crisp white, aviation red, and soft neutral greys across the tarmac and terminal building. When planning surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling from these existing shades. A crisp off-white or light stone grey on adjacent walls creates a clean transition that lets the mural take centre stage. For a bolder, cohesive look, deep navy or soft slate blue on surrounding trim or cabinetry ties directly into the aircraft detailing and open sky.
