Wallpaper - Greetings from Cape May - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Cape May wallpaper captures the graphic charm of mid-century travel art with its iconic vintage postcard layout. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features large, bold block lettering that frames illustrated coastal scenes of beach days, lighthouses, boats, and seaside strolls. Vivid saffron orange, yellow, and blue tones give the motif an energetic, retro screenprint look that instantly commands attention on a wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

Because of the graphic nature of the lettering and the distinct focal scenes inside each letter, we see this wall mural working best on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, hallway, or dining space, giving the design enough width ensures the full typography and coastal vignettes remain easily visible from across the room. It also brings a cheerful, nostalgic character to a holiday home or reading corner where you want a playful accent wall.

Styling it

The expressive 1940s travel illustration style pairs naturally with simple, unpretentious interior choices. We would keep the surrounding furniture relatively understated, choosing clean-lined Mid-Century or modern pieces so the visual energy stays focused on the artwork. Warm timber pieces, such as teak or medium oak, echo the warm saffron tones in the print, while simple white or neutral upholstery prevents the space from feeling overcrowded.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a bold palette of saffron orange, warm yellow, and coastal blues alongside crisp white accents. On adjacent walls, we recommend balancing this intensity with softer off-whites, warm cream, or pale sand tones. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deep blue from the motif for surrounding woodwork or painted accents creates a tailored, cohesive look.
