Wallpaper - Howdy Rainbow

Our Howdy Rainbow wallpaper brings a bright, playful energy to the wall with bold green lettering set against a clean white backdrop and vivid diagonal stripes in orange, yellow, green, pink, and blue. Designed by Moira Hershey, this graphic mural wallpaper draws on a 1970s revival aesthetic, pairing a paint-on-paper visual feel with crisp, flat illustration lines. The cheerful retro rainbow motif creates an immediate sense of warmth and optimism across the room. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on a PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in an entryway or hallway, where the welcoming greeting and vibrant diagonal movement create an instant focal point the moment you step through the front door. Because the lettering and rainbow stripes are bold and graphic, giving the design an uninterrupted wall allows the composition to be seen in its entirety. It also feels completely at home in a dedicated playroom, bringing a youthful, lively character that suits creative, family-centred spaces. In rooms with plenty of natural daylight, the bright contrast between the white backdrop and the saturated stripes reads particularly crisp and clean.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork lead the space, we would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Mid-century silhouettes and warm-toned wood, such as teak or warm oak, sit naturally alongside the 1970s character of the motif without competing with its colours.

For accessories and smaller furnishings, choosing one or two colours from the rainbow stripes helps tie the room together. A low-profile bench in a hallway or understated shelving in a playroom allows the wall mural to stay in focus while keeping the space practical and balanced.

Colour combinations

The design itself centres on a crisp white ground layered with bold green typography and warm diagonal bands of sunny yellow, vibrant orange, soft pink, deep blue, and leafy green.

When painting adjoining walls or woodwork, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with a soft, warm off-white that mirrors the background without feeling stark. If you want to introduce more colour into the wider room, pulling the dusty pink or warm mustard yellow into surrounding painted surfaces or soft furnishings creates a cohesive, cheerful palette.
