Wallpaper - Greetings from Ocean City - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Ocean City wallpaper brings the sunny charm of mid-century Americana straight to your space. Originally created by The Tichnor Brothers, this vintage screenprint postcard design features bold lettering filled with nostalgic seaside vignettes, from beachgoers under bright umbrellas to lively boardwalks and calm waterfront views. Warm sunset yellows and rich oranges balance against cool coastal blues, while crisp black outlines give the composition graphic definition. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers an expressive focal point that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because this design acts as a graphic mural wallpaper, we recommend giving it a clear, uninterrupted wall where the full typography and scenic lettering can be appreciated. In a living room or holiday home sitting area, it works exceptionally well as a feature wall behind a main sofa or across an open dining zone. The bold scale and energetic visual rhythm hold up nicely across wider wall areas, making the space feel vibrant without feeling cluttered. In rooms with plenty of daylight, the contrast between the sunny yellow highlights and deeper blue tones becomes particularly striking.

Styling it

When styling around such an expressive wall mural, we find it best to let the artwork take centre stage while keeping the surrounding decor grounded.

• Pair the warm tones with natural timber furniture or classic mid-century shapes that complement the 1940s vintage aesthetic.
• Choose quiet, solid-coloured upholstery such as denim blue, soft cream, or warm tan to avoid competing with the detailed letter illustrations.
• Introduce understated accents in matte black metal or warm brass to echo the bold line work and golden highlights in the print.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around vibrant summer shades: warm sunset orange, golden yellow, sky blue, ocean navy, and touches of crisp red set against a bright cream background. When painting adjacent walls, we suggest pulling directly from these lighter foundation tones with a soft off-white or light sandy neutral. If you prefer a richer, more immersive look, deep navy or slate blue on surrounding woodwork and door frames creates a striking frame around the design.
