Wallpaper - Hey Rainbow

Our Hey Rainbow wallpaper by Moira Hershey brings a playful, graphic energy to the wall with retro 1970s typography. The design centres on the word "hey" rendered in dark slate grey lowercase lettering, casting long, diagonal shadow stripes in sunny yellow, warm terracotta orange, and dusty sage green. Set against an off-white paper-textured background with subtle speckles, the bold diagonal cast creates a clean sense of motion and cheerful character. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the wallpaper paper that complements this illustrated design.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well as an accent wall in a teenage room, playroom, or creative space where its graphic greeting sets an upbeat tone. Because the focal typography and vibrant shadow stripes sit surrounded by open, neutral space, the design feels airy rather than overwhelming. In a smaller room, placing the design on an uninterrupted focal wall allows the bold diagonal lines to stretch out freely. We would keep the wall relatively clear of tall furniture so the lettering and retro rainbow stripes remain fully visible.

Styling it

The distinct 1970s revival feel makes it easy to pair with both retro-inspired pieces and clean contemporary furniture. We would complement the warm tones of the shadow stripes with natural light oak or warm pine furnishings, letting the wood grain balance the flat graphic illustration. Low-profile desks, modular storage, or simple painted furniture in off-white or soft grey keep the surrounding area grounded, allowing the wallpaper to remain the main visual focus.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a palette of deep slate grey, golden yellow, muted terracotta, and dusty sage green, all resting on a warm, speckled off-white base. For surrounding walls and trim, matching that warm off-white creates a seamless, cohesive backdrop. If you want to draw out the warmer notes, introducing accents in terracotta or mustard yellow through textiles or painted accents works beautifully, while a soft sage green on adjacent surfaces offers a cooler, grounded contrast.
