Wallpaper - Greetings from the Pastime - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Pastime wallpaper captures the lively energy of a vintage night game under the glow of four towering floodlights. The design centres on a bright fern green baseball diamond infield filled with players in motion, framed by packed grandstands and silhouette city buildings along the horizon. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers in a classic 1940s screenprint postcard style, this mural wallpaper balances rich earthy tones with dynamic retro charm. Like all our wallpapers, we produce this design made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the sweeping panoramic composition and rich architectural detail, we particularly like this design on a main feature wall where the full stadium perspective has room to unfold. In a living room, playroom, or games room, placing the wallpaper behind a low sofa or along an open wall lets the illuminated diamond and vintage cityscape serve as the visual focal point. The balance of darker night sky and the bright green field also works well in a hallway or dedicated study, giving the space an energetic, nostalgic character without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

The distinct Americana look and mid-century aesthetic give this wallpaper clear direction when it comes to interior elements. We recommend pairing it with warm, mid-toned woods and clean-lined furniture that echo its 1940s vintage roots.

To keep the focus on the stadium scene, we would keep surrounding patterns quiet and introduce texture through tailored upholstery, leather details, or subtle brass hardware. Avoid competing sports graphics or overly busy wall art nearby, allowing the screenprint aesthetic of the mural to anchor the space.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design revolves around rich fern green and warm earthy tones, contrasted against the deep night sky and the warm amber glow of stadium lighting.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling out warm off-whites, muted sand, or deep charcoal tones that complement the vintage print. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, a deep forest green or muted navy on surrounding trim will tie directly into the darker stadium edges and let the luminous centre field stand out.
