Short Month, Big Ideas (February 2026 Wallpapers Edition)
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.

Plants

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.

“Greben” Icebreaker
“Danube is Europe’s second largest river, connecting ten different countries. In these cold days, when ice paralyzes rivers and closes waterways, a small but brave icebreaker called Greben (Serbian word for ‘reef’) seems stronger than winter. It cuts through the ice on Đerdap gorge (Iron Gate) — the longest and biggest gorge in Europe — thus helping the production of electricity in the power plant. This is our way to give thanks to Greben!” — Designed by PopArt Studio from Serbia.
