About The Author · 2026-03-31 · via Articles on Smashing Magazine — For Web Designers And Developers

With the new month just around the corner, could there be a better occasion to freshen up your desktop? If you’re looking for some unique and inspiring wallpapers to accompany you on all those adventures that April may bring — and maybe spark some new ideas, too — well, this post has got you covered.

Starting the new month with a little inspiration boost — that’s the idea behind our monthly wallpapers series which has been going on for more than 15 years already. Each month, the wallpapers are created by the community for the community, and everyone who has an idea for a design is welcome to join in — experienced designers just like aspiring artists.

For this edition, creative folks from across the globe once again got their ideas flowing and designed desktop wallpapers that are sure to bring some good vibes to your screens. You’ll find them compiled below, ready to be downloaded in a variety of screen resolutions. A huge thank-you to everyone who shared their designs with us — you’re truly smashing!

If you too would like to get featured in one of our upcoming posts, please don’t hesitate to submit your wallpaper. We can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with! Happy April!

  • 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.
