Wallpaper - Greetings from Maryland - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Maryland wallpaper captures the charm of mid-century travel souvenirs, based on an original design by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, graphic block letters spell out the state name, with each letter containing distinct local scenes such as the State House in Annapolis, coastal boating scenes, and community parades. Bright yellow Black-eyed Susans frame the composition against a bright sky-blue background dotted with soft clouds. The print features a screenprint-inspired look with vibrant red, white, and blue accents that bring a distinctive graphic quality to a wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and adds an expressive, historic character to an interior.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal point in an entryway, a guest room, a hallway, or a vacation home. Because the design is composed as one large, complete postcard motif, it benefits from an uninterrupted wall area where the full typography and detailed scenic letters can be viewed without heavy disruption.

In a hallway or long entrance, placing the mural on the primary facing wall creates an inviting, characterful greeting. For a home office or living room, positioning the wallpaper behind a lower desk or sofa ensures that the intricate letter vignettes and state floral accents remain clearly visible across the room.

Styling it

The graphic weight and bold primary tones of this design call for considered surrounding pieces that balance its energetic visual presence.

We would pair this wall mural with clean-lined, mid-century modern furniture or relaxed classic pieces that echo its vintage period roots. Opting for simple profiles in warm woods helps ground the brighter sky-blue and yellow elements without competing with the detailed illustrations.

Keeping larger surrounding textiles relatively quiet in unpatterned, neutral weaves allows the detailed scenes inside each letter to stand out as the primary visual interest in the space.

Colour combinations

The design centres around a vivid palette of sky blue, bright yellow, bold red, and clean white, accented by deeper nautical blues and architectural tones within the letter illustrations.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling directly from the quieter shades in the motif. Soft off-whites or subtle cream tones work well on adjacent walls and skirting boards to give the design breathing room. Alternatively, pulling a muted slate blue or a rich navy onto neighbouring painted surfaces creates a cohesive, tailored setting that complements the postcard's blue sky and vibrant lettering.
