Wallpaper - Greetings from New London - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from New London wallpaper captures the graphic charm of mid-century travel souvenirs, recreating a vintage screenprint postcard design by The Tichnor Brothers. Large block letters spell out "Greetings From New London Conn.", with each character framed by a 3D-effect red and white outline and filled with scenes of coastal landmarks, historic architecture, sandy beaches, harbour views, and a submarine. Set against an open light blue backdrop, the composition balances vibrant illustrative detail with clean graphic spacing. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif is anchored by large typographic elements and multiple miniature scenes, we like seeing this wallpaper mural on a primary feature wall where the full graphic banner can be viewed across its entire width. An entryway or hallway makes a fitting setting, introducing a welcoming, travel-inspired focal point right as you step inside. In a living room or home study, giving this design an uninterrupted wall behind a low sofa or a desk keeps the illustrative letters open to view, allowing each individual vignette inside the lettering to be appreciated up close.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furnishings relatively quiet in form and finish so the lively graphic layout remains the focal point. Mid-century silhouettes, clean-lined timber pieces, or vintage-inspired metal accents work naturally with the 1940s postcard aesthetic. Selecting furniture with lower profiles prevents taller storage units from cutting across the central lettering, while simple neutral upholstery helps ground the bolder retro elements.

Colour combinations

The design features a clear light blue background, complemented by bright red and crisp white outlines and multicoloured illustrative vignettes across the lettering. To create a cohesive look around our mural wallpapers, you could draw on the pale blue sky tone for surrounding walls or woodwork to give the room an airy, unified backdrop. Alternatively, soft off-white, light warm grey, or muted navy accents in surrounding textiles or painted surfaces will frame the energetic red lettering without competing with the illustration.
