Wallpaper - Greetings from Maine - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Maine wallpaper takes inspiration from classic mid-century postcard art, originally created by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, graphic "MAINE" lettering anchors the composition, with each letter filled with distinct regional vignettes including a domed landmark building, mountain scenery, a forest bear, and a rocky ocean coastline. Framed by a vivid yellow and red border against a blue and green gradient background, this design brings bright, retro character to a feature wall. Like all our mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the bold horizontal text and distinct postcard frame, we see this design working best on an open, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full graphic composition can be seen at once. In a living room or a dedicated holiday home lounge, placing it behind a low sofa keeps the central lettering in clear view. The strong presence of the motif also suits an entryway or hallway wall, setting a distinctive vintage tone right as you walk through the door. Because the composition functions as a complete artwork rather than an all-over repeating pattern, giving it space away from tall storage units or cluttered shelving allows each illustrated scene inside the letters to stand out.

Styling it

The graphic, mid-century Americana style pairs naturally with simple, functional furnishings that let the wall mural remain the primary focal point. We would lean toward warm mid-toned woods or clean vintage pieces rather than overly ornate furniture. Keeping larger upholstery in neutral tones helps balance the energetic multi-coloured palette, while smaller accents can pick up on individual details from the print. Simple lighting positioned to wash evenly across the wall will keep the vibrant printed elements legible without creating harsh glare.

Colour combinations

The motif features an expressive palette centered on rich blues and greens in the gradient backdrop, accented with primary yellows, reds, and scenic landscape tones within the lettering. For adjacent walls and surrounding trim, soft off-whites, warm stone, or muted neutral creams work well to let the colourful mural stand forward. If you prefer a richer, more cohesive room feel, drawing out one of the deeper blues or forest greens for nearby woodwork or adjoining walls creates a handsome, considered backdrop.
