Wallpaper - Greetings from St Petersburg - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from St Petersburg wallpaper captures the sunny, graphic spirit of mid-century resort design, inspired by the classic 1940s screenprint postcard by The Tichnor Brothers. Large, bold lettering spelling out "Greetings from St. Petersburg, Florida" forms the centrepiece, with each letter filled with vignette scenes of Florida beaches, period architecture, and coastal life. Behind the typography, a vivid sunburst of coral, orange, yellow, and clear blue rays radiates outward, creating an energetic and joyful focal point. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings historic graphic charm to a feature wall.

In the room

This is a bold, poster-scale design that naturally draws the eye, making it especially effective in rooms where you want an expressive, conversation-starting focal point. In a living room or a dedicated dining space, we like positioning it on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full typography and radiating sunburst can stretch out without heavy visual interruption.

For a vacation home, guest room, or casual home office, the warm coral and sunny yellow palette brings a welcoming, holiday feel that instantly enlivens the space. Because the composition has strong central focus and vivid colour contrast, it works best when surrounding walls remain understated, allowing the wall mural to anchor the entire room layout.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork take centre stage, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined mid-century or contemporary furniture in warm natural woods like teak or light oak. Simple silhouettes keep the room feeling balanced rather than cluttered by competing shapes.

For textiles and accents, pull out solid accents that mirror the print, such as a muted coral cushion, off-white linen curtains, or simple matte ceramic pieces. Keeping patterns elsewhere in the room minimal allows the detailed illustrated letters to remain the main visual story.

Colour combinations

The palette inside our wallpaper centres around vibrant coral, warm orange, and golden yellow, balanced by crisp sky blue, deep typography outlines, and soft sandy undertones.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls, trim, or nearby cabinetry, soft warm whites, pale plaster tones, or muted sandy beiges create a quiet backdrop that lets the sunburst pop. If you prefer a richer, more cohesive look, echoing the soft terracotta or warm coral tones on a nearby painted surface or upholstery pieces ties the whole room together naturally.
