Wallpaper - Greetings from the Inlet - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Inlet wallpaper captures a tranquil coastal scene in the style of a mid-century postcard, created by The Tichnor Brothers. Two boats drift across calm blue waters, one carrying passengers and another smaller vessel alongside, set beneath a soft sky that transitions gently between pale blue, warm yellow, and light pink tones. A quiet sandy pathway frames the foreground, grounding the composition with a distinctly nostalgic character. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an inviting, scenic focal point for coastal homes and relaxed living spaces.

In the room

In a living room or sitting area, we would place this mural wallpaper on an uninterrupted main wall where the full expanse of the water and sky can be appreciated without heavy visual breaks. The horizontal balance of the inlet scene works particularly well behind a low-backed sofa or along a dining wall, drawing the eye outward. In a holiday home, lake house, or guest room, it brings an easygoing seaside presence that feels gentle rather than overwhelming. The soft horizon line also sits comfortably in rooms with standard ceiling heights, adding a sense of open distance to the interior.

Styling it

• Pair the scenic motif with painted timber furniture in off-white, muted navy, or soft sand tones to pick up on the shoreline and nautical details.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings relatively plain, opting for understated textures like washed cotton or woven wool rather than competing patterns.
• Choose warm brass or brushed metal accents on hardware and lighting to reflect the subtle sunny hues in the painted sky.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a gentle palette of water blue, sandy cream, pale yellow, and soft blush pink. For adjacent walls and trim, warm off-whites, pale linen shades, and light sand tones create a cohesive, bright backdrop that allows the mural to stand out naturally. If you prefer deeper contrast, a muted slate blue or deep nautical navy on skirting boards, doors, or neighbouring cabinetry draws out the tones of the inlet water.
