Wallpaper - Greetings from Hermosa Biltmore Hotel - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Hermosa Biltmore Hotel wallpaper brings the visual charm of a vintage 1930s screenprint postcard to a full wall scale. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the motif captures sunny Hermosa Beach, California, with bright umbrellas scattered along the sandy shore, beachgoers strolling by the water, and swimmers out among the waves. In the background, the historic hotel structure anchors the coastal scene beneath a soft blue sky. The print-inspired palette combines warm sand, ocean blue, and vivid yellow and red accents. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this coastal scene working particularly well as a feature wall in a living room, hallway, or guest bedroom where the detailed horizontal landscape has space to unfold. Because the composition has distinct visual layers, from the populated shoreline in the foreground to the open water and architecture above, it benefits from a wall that is not overly crowded by tall, solid furniture. In a home office or a vacation home dining area, placing low credenzas or seating beneath the horizon line lets the character of the beach scene remain entirely visible across the room.

Styling it

To balance the lively details and retro character of the print, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean and grounded. Simple mid-century or vintage-inspired shapes with painted surfaces or warmer wood finishes let the illustration feel right at home without fighting for attention. Choosing quiet, unpatterned upholstery allows the lively beach figures and colorful umbrellas in our wall murals to serve as the main focal point in the room.

Colour combinations

The motif is built around sky blue, ocean tones, and warm sandy shades, accented by punchy pops of primary red and sunny yellow. To create a cohesive setting, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with soft off-white, light warm sand, or a pale sky blue on adjacent painted walls and woodwork. If you prefer a richer palette, pulling out the deeper navy from the water or subtle terracotta tones from the architectural details creates a warm, grounded contrast on cabinetry or surrounding trim.
