Wallpaper - Hey I Like You

Our Hey I Like You wallpaper, designed by Kent Youngstrom, brings graphic typography into a room with an expressive, personal feel. Set against a deep charcoal gray background, the hand-drawn white text spells out "hey- i like you" with the spontaneous visual character of paint drawing and spray paint. The high contrast between the dark base and the energetic lettering gives the design a bold, contemporary presence that feels creative rather than formal. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper structure, it makes an immediate visual statement while remaining easy to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a teenage room or a creative home studio. Because the graphic message is centered and carries strong visual weight, it benefits from a wall area with relatively few tall interruptions, allowing the complete typography to be read at a glance. In a compact space, the deep charcoal backdrop creates a focused, grounded atmosphere, while in a larger open area it can define a dedicated work or lounge zone. Placing it across the wall behind a desk, a casual seating area, or a low bed frame lets the playful phrase act as the focal point of the space.

Styling it

The minimalist two-tone structure allows for straightforward styling that leans into contemporary and urban aesthetics. We would keep the surrounding furniture relatively simple and let the wallpaper carry the decorative focus.

Clean-lined pieces in matte black metal or powder-coated steel echo the graphic quality of the dark charcoal base, while lighter natural wood surfaces can soften the overall contrast. To maintain an uncluttered visual balance, pair this mural with solid, unpatterned textiles rather than busy motifs that might compete with the lettering.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centers on a rich charcoal gray base paired with clean white lettering.

Around the mural, crisp white or off-white on adjacent walls and trim provides a sharp, cohesive frame that mirrors the typography. For a moodier, enveloping look, matching the surrounding walls to a similarly deep slate or charcoal gray allows the white script to stand out vividly. If you want to introduce an accent tone through surrounding objects, muted ochre, mustard, or olive green pairs naturally with the dark backdrop without overwhelming the graphic simplicity.
