Wallpaper - Greetings from Hyannis - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Hyannis wallpaper captures the warmth and nostalgic character of mid-century coastal Americana. Designed in the classic vintage postcard style by The Tichnor Brothers, bold block lettering across the centre frames vivid vignettes of coastal life, from quaint seaside architecture and beach scenes to quiet harbours. Across the upper section, a detailed harbour view features boats moored along the pier under a rich sunset sky, while white sailboats drift across calm blue waters along the base. The visual grain and screenprint-inspired texture give the entire mural a charmingly authentic period look. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper structure, it creates an eye-catching statement across any wall.

In the room

Because of its horizontal panorama, bold typography, and intricate multi-scene composition, we see this wall mural working best on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. It brings an inviting retro personality to a living room, dining space, or holiday home where the complete graphic layout can be appreciated without being divided. In a social space, placing it behind a low-backed sofa or along a dining wall allows the detailed postcard lettering and sailing scenes to stay clearly in view. The design also adds a warm, memorable presence to a home study or an entrance hallway, immediately establishing a relaxed coastal aesthetic.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic typography and multi-panel scenes in our mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing this design with relatively understated furnishings. Mid-century silhouettes, clean-lined low cabinetry, and simple warm wood pieces harmonise naturally with the 1940s postcard aesthetic without competing for attention.

Keeping surrounding textiles relatively simple, such as natural unbleached weaves or plain muted upholstery, lets the detailed artwork remain the focal point of the interior. Adding a few nautical or coastal accents, such as aged brass hardware or simple framed photographs, subtly echoes the maritime motif while keeping the room feeling curated and comfortable.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a warm, expressive palette built around a glowing orange sunset gradient, deep navy and ocean blue water, crisp white sailcloth, and leafy green details within the letter panels.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and trim, we suggest drawing directly from these tones:

• Soft off-white or cream woodwork complements the white sailboats and brightens the overall space.
• Warm terracotta, muted apricot, or amber accents echo the sunset sky and bring out the design's retro warmth.
• Deep coastal blue or slate grey on neighbouring walls or large cabinetry frames the mural with grounded, maritime contrast.
