Wallpaper - Greetings from Niantic - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Niantic wallpaper captures the nostalgic charm of classic mid-century travel souvenirs. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers in the 1940s, this screenprint-inspired design centres on bold, arched lettering filled with miniature coastal vignettes, from sunlit beaches and boardwalks to calm waters and seaside cottages. Set against an avocado green backdrop, the motif is accented with an anchor, a coiled nautical rope, and a sailboat gliding across gentle waves in soft pastel shades of blue, pink, and pale yellow. Custom-printed as made-to-measure mural wallpapers, this PVC-free design features a subtle paper texture that gives any room a warm, retro coastal identity.

In the room

Because the design is structured like an oversized vintage postcard, we see this working best as a dedicated focal point on a clear, uninterrupted accent wall. In a living room, dining area, or a coastal holiday home, placing the wallpaper behind a low sofa or a dining bench allows the prominent typography and detailed beach scenes to remain fully visible. The gentle balance of avocado green with pastel sunset tones also suits bright entryways and guest bedrooms, where the large-scale graphic artwork brings an immediate sense of warmth without feeling visually overwhelming.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this retro graphic with clean, relaxed interior pieces that let the artwork take centre stage. Mid-century silhouettes, warm honey-toned woods, and vintage-inspired coastal accents harmonize naturally with the 1940s illustration style. Keeping surrounding furniture relatively low and unfussy ensures the lettering and nautical details at the base of the mural remain uncluttered and legible across the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a distinctive palette of avocado green, sky blue, sunset pink, and sandy pastel tones. When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, we like picking out the soft off-white or light sand from the beach scenes for a bright, breezy finish. Alternatively, a muted pale sage or soft slate blue creates a tonal backdrop that draws out the vintage ink shades of the illustration.
