Wallpaper - Greetings from Connecticut - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Connecticut wallpaper brings mid-century American travel nostalgia straight onto the wall. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features the classic screenprint postcard aesthetic with bold block lettering spelling out the state name, each letter framing a detailed miniature vignette of scenic Connecticut landmarks, from historic watermills and coastal lighthouses to quiet harbours and manicured gardens. Anchored by the Connecticut State Capitol alongside clusters of pink Mountain Laurel blossoms, the motif rests over a warm sunshine yellow and soft blue pastel gradient. Produced custom made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinctive visual statement for lovers of retro Americana and vintage print art.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal point in an entryway, hallway, or living room. Because the postcard lettering and architectural scenes create a clear central narrative, giving the design a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the complete graphic composition to be appreciated without being broken up by tall furniture. In a holiday home or a dedicated study, the balanced pastel palette of warm yellow and soft blue creates an inviting backdrop that carries plenty of character without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

To let the graphic screenprint character of the motif lead the space, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined mid-century or retro-inspired furnishings.

• Warm wood furniture such as teak, walnut, or honey-toned oak complements the sunshine yellow base and vintage print character naturally.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger textiles in simple, solid neutral tones so the detailed illustrations within the lettering remain the primary focus.
• Accents in muted navy, soft sage, or matte black ironwork echo the fine screenprint lines and graphic typography of the design.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a soft pastel gradient combining sunshine yellow with sky blue, accented by rosy pink floral tones, leaf greens, and the crisp white and dark outlines of the vintage lettering. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling directly from the design with warm ivory, soft cream, or a delicate sky blue. If you want a more defined contrast, deeper navy or warm golden ochre accents will highlight the rich graphic history of the print.
