Wallpaper - Greetings from the Sea - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from the Sea wallpaper brings a vintage screenprint aesthetic to a classic nautical motif. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers, the artwork features four sailboats gliding across textured, choppy blue waters beneath an expansive sky shifting from soft orange to open blue. Wispy clouds drift overhead while billowed white sails and small crew figures add scale and movement to the coastal scene. Printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure, our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are produced to your specific wall dimensions, balancing bold maritime character with rich, warm colour.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a focal point in a living room, hallway, study, or bedroom. Because the composition contains a clear horizon, billowing sails, and expansive open sky, it naturally benefits from a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full seascape has room to breathe. The contrasting navy blue water and warm orange horizon give the artwork enough visual weight to anchor a seating area behind a sofa or create an inviting vista along an entrance wall.

Styling it

To complement the traditional New England character and mid-century print style of the motif, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, timeless interior elements.

Natural warm wood finishes, such as mid-tone oak or antique pine, work harmoniously with the warm orange glow in the sky. Keeping surrounding upholstered furniture in understated, neutral textures allows the detailed sailing scene to remain the primary visual focus without overwhelming the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by deep navy, ocean blue, crisp white, and a gradient of warm orange against earthy undertones.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, soft off-white or light warm sand shades mirror the lighter tones in the clouds and sky. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out the deep navy blue on architectural trim or adjacent painted surfaces creates an elegant, considered contrast.
