Wallpaper - Greetings from Seattle - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Seattle wallpaper brings the classic mid-century postcard aesthetic to a larger architectural scale. Created in the iconic 1930s screenprint style by The Tichnor Brothers, the design centres on bold block lettering spelling out "Greetings from Seattle", with each letter framing distinct scenic vignettes including Mount Rainier, waterfront views, cityscapes, and regional landmarks. Set against a radiant backdrop of coral orange, warm yellow, and soft sky blue, the composition carries a lively vintage character. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the bold graphic typography and strong horizontal layout, we see this working particularly well as a focal point in a living room or a dedicated holiday home interior. The central lettering demands room to breathe, so we would place our design across a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full phrase and individual illustrated scenes remain visible without being cut off by tall bookcases or bulky wardrobes. In an open living space, mounting this mural wallpaper behind a lower-profile sofa lets the vibrant palette and retro Americana motif serve as the primary visual anchor for the space.

Styling it

When styling around such an expressive vintage print, we suggest balancing the energetic graphic elements with relatively grounded furnishings.

• Pair the warm coral and yellow backdrop with medium-toned or darker timber furniture, such as teak or walnut, which naturally complements 1930s and mid-century design themes.
• Choose low-slung seating in neutral upholstery, keeping surrounding silhouettes streamlined so the wallpaper carries the visual rhythm of the room.
• Introduce understated matte ceramic or aged metal accents to pick up the nostalgic feel of vintage screenprints without competing with the bold typography.

Colour combinations

The print itself relies on a striking palette of coral orange, vibrant yellow, and cool blue tones, bordered by crisp white lettering. When planning the rest of the room, we suggest pulling directly from these core shades. Soft off-whites or pale warm creams work exceptionally well on adjacent walls and trim, preventing the bright orange background from overwhelming the space. For larger upholstered pieces or floor coverings, muted slate blue, deep navy, or warm caramel tones echo the secondary shades within the postcard scenes while keeping the overall room feeling cohesive.
