Wallpaper - Greetings from Cape Cod - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Cape Cod wallpaper brings the graphic charm of classic mid-century postcard art directly to your wall. Based on an original 1940s design by The Tichnor Brothers, the motif features bold large-scale typography spelling out "Greetings from Cape Cod Mass.", with each letter revealing detailed coastal scenes including historic lighthouses, windmills, ferries, and sailboats. Rendered in a distinct screenprint-inspired style with vivid accent shades against an open sky-blue backdrop with soft clouds, this design creates an expressive, nostalgic statement. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom-made to your exact dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this design working best on an open, uninterrupted feature wall where the central typographic composition and detailed letter vignettes can be appreciated in full. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a sofa or along a main focal wall anchors the space with a warm, nostalgic character. It also suits a holiday home, a relaxed hallway, or a home study where graphic Americana artwork adds distinct personality without cluttering the room. Because the visual focus is concentrated within the lettering, giving the mural adequate breathing room from tall shelving units lets the full postcard layout stand out naturally.

Styling it

To balance the graphic character and multi-coloured elements of this design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined, grounded furnishings. Mid-century modern wooden furniture in warm oak or teak tones naturally complements the 1940s illustration aesthetic. Choose solid, unpatterned upholstery in cream, navy, or natural linen so the room remains calm and balanced around the mural. Keeping decorative wall art on adjacent walls minimal lets the central postcard composition serve as the primary visual anchor in the space.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a soft sky-blue backdrop, balanced by crisp white clouds and a multi-coloured palette within the lettering that includes marine navy, bright red, sunshine yellow, forest green, and sandy tones. On adjacent walls, trim, or skirting boards, a clean off-white or soft linen hue complements the background while keeping the room feeling airy. For a slightly more grounded look, drawing out the deeper coastal navy or warm timber tones in your surrounding furniture creates a cohesive contrast against the lighter blue canvas.
