Wallpaper - Hey Rainbow

Designed by Moira Hershey, our Hey Rainbow wallpaper pairs graphic typography with a playful 1970s revival feel. The word "hey" sits in dark charcoal lettering, casting long diagonal drop shadows in warm mustard yellow, burnt orange, and pale mint green across a lightly textured off-white background. The strong diagonal movement brings an energetic, cheerful rhythm to the wall, making it a distinctive graphic statement. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as an accent wall in a playroom or a teenage room, where its friendly greeting and graphic 1970s aesthetic bring personality to the space. Because the typography and diagonal color bands create a clear focal point, we recommend placing it on an open wall behind a bed, a study desk, or a low shelving unit. Keeping the surrounding furniture relatively low ensures that the full drop-shadow effect and the open, airy background remain visible across the room.

Styling it

To complement the retro graphic style of the mural wallpapers, we would pair this design with clean-lined furniture and warm, natural finishes.

• Choose furniture in warm wood tones, such as birch or light oak, to echo the warm yellow and orange bands without overwhelming the room.
• Bring in accents in muted mint or deep charcoal through painted metal desk lamps, bookends, or simple picture frames to tie directly into the typography and shadows.
• Keep surrounding bedding and larger upholstery simple and solid, allowing the crisp geometric angles of the wallpaper to hold the visual focus.

Color combinations

The design itself centers on deep charcoal lettering paired with warm mustard yellow, earthy orange, and soft mint green over a speckled off-white backdrop. For adjacent painted walls, a clean warm off-white or soft cream provides a seamless continuation of the background. If you prefer more color on surrounding surfaces, a muted sage green or dusty terracotta pulled from the diagonal bands creates a cohesive, grounded look.
