Wallpaper - Howdy Rainbow

Our Howdy Rainbow wallpaper brings together a cheerful typographic greeting with bold 1970s revival energy. Designed by Moira Hershey, the motif features "howdy" rendered in bold green lettering set against a clean white backdrop, underscored by vibrant diagonal stripes in orange, yellow, green, pink, and blue. The painted-on-paper look gives the graphic shapes an approachable, tactile quality while keeping the layout graphic and punchy. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its expressive focal point and playful 1970s aesthetic, we love using this mural wallpaper in areas where you want an instant burst of optimism. An entryway or hall makes a natural home for the bold greeting, offering a friendly, characterful welcome the moment anyone steps through the door. It also works wonderfully in a playroom, where the saturated rainbow bands and upbeat message suit a lively, energetic atmosphere.

For the composition, we recommend placing this wallpaper on a primary feature wall with enough breathing room for the diagonal stripes and typography to be seen in full. While it carries plenty of graphic punch, the clean white background prevents the design from overwhelming smaller spaces, making it surprisingly adaptable across both compact entry halls and larger open-plan family areas.

Styling it

When styling around such a colourful, graphic design, we like to keep surrounding pieces grounded in simple retro or modern silhouettes. Mid-century furnishings, warm timber finishes, and clean-lined storage work nicely without competing against the bold typography.

To keep the room feeling balanced, let the wallpaper serve as the main focal point. Pair it with neutral seating or low-profile benches, then echo one or two of the stripe tones through small decorative touches like a painted coat hook, a colourful lamp base, or vibrant cushions.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on a crisp white ground layered with bold green, warm orange, bright yellow, soft pink, and clear sky blue.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, a clean warm white creates a fresh, cohesive backdrop that lets the rainbow stripes pop. If you want to lean into the retro mood, consider picking out the golden yellow or olive-toned green from the stripes for interior doors, baseboards, or built-in cabinetry. Alternatively, soft terracotta or muted peach accents bring out the warmth of the orange and pink elements without cluttering the visual field.
