As the year winds down, many of us are busy wrapping up projects, meeting deadlines, or getting ready for the holiday season. Why not take a moment amid the end-of-year hustle to set the mood for December with some wintery desktop wallpapers? They might just bring a sparkle of inspiration to your workspace in these busy weeks.

To provide you with unique and inspiring wallpaper designs each month anew, we started our monthly wallpapers series more than 14 years ago. It’s the perfect opportunity both to put your creative skills to the test and to find just the right wallpaper to accompany you through the new month. This December is no exception, of course, so following our cozy little tradition, we have a new collection of wallpapers waiting for you below. Each design has been created with love by artists and designers from across the globe and comes in a variety of screen resolutions.

A huge thank-you to everyone who tickled their creativity and shared their wallpapers with us this time around! This post wouldn’t exist without your kind support. ❤️ Happy December!

We respect and carefully consider the ideas and motivation behind each and every artist’s work. This is why we give all artists the full freedom to explore their creativity and express emotions and experience through their works. This is also why the themes of the wallpapers weren’t anyhow influenced by us but rather designed from scratch by the artists themselves.
Submit your wallpaper design! 🎨

We are always looking for creative talent and would love to feature your desktop wallpaper in one of our upcoming posts. Join in ↬

A Quiet December Walk

In the stillness of a snowy forest, a man and his loyal dog share a peaceful winter walk. The world is hushed beneath a blanket of white, with only soft flakes falling and the crunch of footsteps breaking the silence. It’s a simple, serene moment that captures the calm beauty of December and the quiet joy of companionship in nature’s winter glow. — Designed by PopArt Studio from Serbia.

Learning Is An Art

The year is coming to an end. A year full of adventures, projects, unforgettable moments, and others that will fade into oblivion. And it’s this month that we start preparing for next year, organizing it and hoping it will be at least as good as the last, and that it will give us 365 days to savor from the first to the last. This month we share Katherine Johnson and some wise words that we shouldn’t forget: ‘I like to learn. It’s an art and a science.’ — Designed by Veronica Valenzuela Jimenez from Spain.
