Wallpaper - Hello Rainbow

Our Hello Rainbow wallpaper, created by Moira Hershey, pairs graphic typography with a playful retro aesthetic inspired by 1970s design. The word "hello" appears in bold, dark charcoal lettering, anchored against an off-white, lightly speckled paper-look backdrop. Extending upward at a sharp diagonal angle, vibrant 3D shadow bands stream in muted pastel tones of sage green, warm mustard yellow, muted terracotta orange, soft blush pink, and powder blue. As with all our wallpapers, this mural design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical texture.

In the room

We love this graphic mural wallpaper in transition spaces where an inviting greeting sets the tone right away. It makes an immediate impression in an entryway, front hall, or mudroom, giving visitors a warm, cheerful visual reception as soon as they step through the door.

Because the diagonal rainbow stripes rise toward the upper right, this design works especially well along a staircase wall or a taller entryway where the vertical rise naturally echoes the angle of the artwork. The generous amount of open background space around the typography prevents the composition from overwhelming a narrower corridor. We would place this on a main feature wall that remains relatively free of high, bulky storage units so the lettering and diagonal rainbow bands stay fully visible.

Styling it

To balance the strong graphic forms and nostalgic 1970s character of this wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with clean, functional furnishings that let the wall design stand out:

• Choose warm wood accents, such as a mid-century teak console, an oak entryway bench, or a simple birch coat rack, to echo the retro warmth of the design.
• Keep wall-mounted fixtures understated by selecting matte black or dark bronze coat hooks that pick up the deep charcoal tone of the lettering.
• Anchor the floor with a flat-weave runner in a natural, neutral tone, avoiding busy patterns that might compete with the clean diagonal lines.

Color combinations

The artwork features a balanced mix of deep charcoal grey, muted sage green, mustard yellow, dusty terracotta, pastel blush, and light blue against a soft, flecked off-white background.

When painting surrounding trim, baseboards, or adjacent walls, we recommend pulling directly from that neutral backdrop with an off-white or light warm grey paint. For a bolder, cohesive look, you could also paint an adjoining door or woodwork in a muted sage green or dusty terracotta pulled from the diagonal color stripes. If you prefer a more contrasting, modern framing, charcoal trim that matches the lettering will sharply define the entry space.
