Minimalist wallpapers for a screen that stays out of the way

Minimal does not mean empty

A blank colour is restful for a day, then it starts to feel unfinished. One small object gives the eye somewhere to land when you clear your windows, and makes the screen feel like yours. Open a window and the wallpaper simply becomes a colour again.

Because the drawing is small, it survives a dock, a menu bar, desktop icons and a few widgets without being lost behind them.

Choosing a colour you can live with

Muted mid-tones are the easiest to keep all day. Warm grounds like mustard and terracotta feel softer in the evening; cooler sage and dusty blue look crisp next to bright light-mode apps. If you change your mind often, the Complete Collection gives you all 69 and lets you rotate through them.

On a Mac, point System Settings → Wallpaper at a folder and let it rotate every hour or every day. On Windows, use Personalization → Background → Slideshow. Our step-by-step guides cover both.

Fewer things asking for attention

There are no logos or watermarks on the files you buy, and no subscription: one price per set and a download link that keeps working.
