Let’s make the most of the shortest month of the year with a new collection of desktop wallpapers that are sure to bring a smile to your face — and maybe spark your creativity, too. All of them were designed with love by the community for the community and can be downloaded for free. Happy February!

Sometimes, the best inspiration lies right in front of us. With that in mind, we embarked on our wallpapers adventure more than 14 years ago. The idea: to provide you with a new collection of unique and inspiring desktop wallpapers every month. This February is no exception, of course.

For this post, artists and designers from across the globe once again got their ideas flowing and designed wallpapers to bring some good vibes to your desktops and home screens. All of them come in a variety of screen resolutions and can be downloaded for free. A huge thank-you to everyone who shared their design with us this month — this post wouldn’t exist without your kind support!

If you too would like to get featured in one of our next wallpapers posts, please don’t hesitate to submit your design. We are always looking for creative talent and can’t wait to see your story come to life!

  • You can click on every image to see a larger preview.
  • 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.

Eternal Tech

“The first one being older than 100 years, radio is still connecting people, places, and events.” — Designed by Ginger It Solutions from Serbia.

Plants

“I wanted to draw some very cozy place, both realistic and cartoonish, filled with little details. A space with a slightly unreal atmosphere that some great shops or cafes have. A mix of plants, books, bottles, and shelves seemed like a perfect fit. I must admit, it took longer to draw than most of my other pictures! But it was totally worth it. Watch the making-of.” — Designed by Vlad Gerasimov from Georgia.

Love Is In The Play

“Forget Lady and the Tramp and their spaghetti kiss, ’cause Snowflake and Cloudy are enjoying their bliss. The cold and chilly February weather made our kitties knit themselves a sweater. Knitting and playing, the kitties tangled in the yarn and fell in love in your neighbor’s barn.” — Designed by PopArt Studio from Serbia.
