Wallpaper - Greetings from Coral Gables - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Coral Gables wallpaper brings classic mid-century Americana directly to the wall through a vintage screenprint postcard design by The Tichnor Brothers. Bold, oversized block lettering arches across the composition, with each character framing detailed vignettes of sunny Florida life, including poolside scenes, palm trees, historic architecture, and coastal moments. Set against a background that transitions from sky blue to warm sunset orange, the design carries a distinct retro aesthetic with printed halftone textures and rich, popping tones. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition relies on large graphic lettering across the horizontal plane, this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire postcard artwork can be viewed without awkward breaks. In a living room, hallway, or guest space in a holiday home, placing the wallpaper across the primary wall gives the bold typography and vivid scenes room to set the tone. It sits comfortably behind lower-profile furniture such as a low sideboard or low-back sofa, keeping the detailed letter vignettes visible and uncluttered.

Styling it

To balance the graphic energy and rich retro character of our mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing them with simple, clean-lined furnishings. Mid-century modern silhouettes in warm woods such as teak or walnut complement the 1940s holiday aesthetic naturally. Keeping upholstery and larger textiles in quiet neutrals or soft off-white allows the lively illustrated scenes within the letters to serve as the visual focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vibrant palette built around sky blue, warm sunset orange, golden yellow, and lush tropical greens within the letter insets. For adjacent painted surfaces, woodwork, or larger accent pieces, we suggest pulling from the softer warm tones in the background, such as a gentle cream, muted ochre, or pale terracotta. Alternatively, balancing the mural with a soft coastal blue or a deep foliage green provides a grounded contrast that echoes the illustrated details without competing with the central lettering.
