Desktop Wallpaper: May 2025 With Jeres

New month, new screens. For May’s Designer Desktop, we’re featuring the colorful, kinetic world of Los Angeles–based code artist and digital painter Jeres (Jeremy Schoenherr). Forget AI – Jeres writes his own algorithms, building systems that set the rules for color, texture, and composition. But within those boundaries, there’s room for endless variation. Think of it as part blueprint, part wild card: each piece starts with a seed – a tiny set of instructions that grows into something vivid, rhythmic, and completely unique. Inspired by pioneers like Vera Molnar, Jeres transforms simple lines and shapes into dynamic landscapes of color and movement. While technology powers the process, it’s the intentional design behind it – the rule-based systems – that gives Jeres’ work its distinct feel. It’s art that feels alive, balancing chance with precision, chaos with control. This month’s wallpaper captures that dynamic energy, with colorful strokes flowing through open space. Free to download, we invite you to slow down, look closer, and get lost in the rhythm of tiny, intentional gestures of this desktop wallpaper.

An Unsightly Apartment Gets a New Look With Stained Glass Doors and Colorful Wallpaper

Sometimes the solution to awkward elements like load-bearing transoms and an incredibly long doorway is simple: decorate.Houses We Love: Every day we feature a remarkable space submitted by our community of architects, designers, builders, and homeowners. Have one to share? Post it here. Project Details: Location: Almaty, Kazakhstan Designer: Sdelaemremont.kz / @sdelaemremont.kz Footprint: 925 square feet  Styling: Elina Mussakulova Photographer: Sergey Krasyuk / @skrasyuk From the Designer: "This long-extended apartment in an old building in the city center was uninteresting and even ugly to us. At first, it seemed impossible to make a good hallway, and generally, the apartment was some kind of trailer. The previous owners made some mistakes while remodeling: the sewerage in the bathroom was done incorrectly, which led to an unpleasant smell in the apartment, and we had to redo everything. "We didn't like the vast load-bearing transoms coming down from the ceiling in the living room and the bedroom (they happened to be in the middle of the rooms). We didn't understand what to do with them or how to play with them so they could blend nicely into the interior. Another headache was an incredibly long doorway. Eventually, instead of trying to hide these construction elements, we decorated them! Now, the transoms attract your attention with plaster corbels and the long seismic corridor looks like a nicely-framed passageway. "It started with the wallpaper by ZAK+FOX . I wanted to use this particular wallpaper with monkeys as they remind us of our client, Raushan, an active young woman with curly red hair. I was honest with her and said I saw the parallel between her and these monkeys while presenting this wallpaper. She laughed and said that she could see the resemblance, too. The purple fruits on the wallpaper gave us the color of the kitchen cabinets, too. "The stained glass was ready-made. We blew up the whole city trying to find the specialist who could make them. The colors of the glass we found were quite limited, but we like how we combined the chosen ones into one complete picture. Our client only cooks a little, and she wanted the kitchen to be more of a relaxed area for meeting with friends. This brief made it easy to go for a tiled countertop."

Desktop Wallpaper: December 2024 With Joseph Patton

Another year of Designer Desktops is coming to a close! Rounding out our last desktop of the year is the talented Joseph Patton, a Mississippi-born illustrator and animator who now splits his time between Zürich and the San Francisco Bay Area. Patton’s work feels like an invitation to step into a storybook brought to life, blending hand-drawn and digital techniques to craft illustrations that are as whimsical and heartwarming as they are thought-provoking. From playful comics to heartfelt children’s tales, his portfolio brims with projects that celebrate the art of storytelling in its many forms. For December’s desktop, Patton’s fitting illustration of interwoven hands symbolizes connection, unity, and the warmth of togetherness—a perfect visual reminder to close out the year with gratitude and a sense of community.

LG’s Impossibly Thin 9mm Wallpaper TV Goes Wireless at CES 2026

The original Wallpaper OLED from 2017 felt like a sci-fi prop, impossibly thin but tethered by cables and living in carefully staged rooms. CES 2026 is where LG brings that idea back with the OLED evo W6, a Wallpaper TV that now calls itself true wireless, nine-millimeter-class thin, and ready to live in actual homes instead of just concept apartments with perfectly curated shelves and no hint of where the clutter went. The W6 moves all inputs and processing into a Zero Connect Box that can sit up to 10 m away, sending 4K video and audio wirelessly to the panel. The TV itself becomes a sheet of OLED that mounts flush to the wall, with no visible ports or cables, so the usual tangle of consoles, set-top boxes, and sound systems can hide in a cabinet across the room or behind furniture instead of snaking up the wall. Designer: LG A living room with big windows is where most TVs struggle, fighting reflections and glare all afternoon. The OLED evo W6 leans on Hyper Radiant Color Technology and a panel that earns Reflection Free Premium certification, combining Brightness Booster Ultra, up to 3.9 times brighter than conventional OLEDs at peak, with the lowest reflectance in LG’s lineup. Daytime viewing does not require blackout curtains or strategic seating, which changes how the TV fits into daily routines. A movie night brings the α11 AI Processor Gen3 into focus, with its 5.6 times more powerful NPU and Dual AI Engine. Instead of choosing between smoothing noise and preserving texture, it runs parallel algorithms to do both, keeping film grain and skin detail intact while cleaning up compression artifacts. The image stays crisp without looking over-sharpened or plasticky, even on older content pulled from streaming libraries that were compressed years ago. The hours when nobody is actively watching are where Gallery+ turns the OLED evo W6 into a canvas for more than 4,500 visuals, from cinema stills to game art, plus your own photos and generative AI pieces, all paired with mood-matched music. The TV stops being a black rectangle and becomes part of the room’s atmosphere, changing with seasons, gatherings, or whatever you feel like seeing when you walk past between tasks or while cooking dinner. A late-night gaming session is where the OLED evo W6’s 4K 165 Hz support, 0.1 ms response time, and compatibility with NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium matter. Auto Low Latency Mode kicks in, input lag drops, and the same panel that showed impressionist art earlier now handles fast shooters or racing games without tearing or ghosting, making the Wallpaper TV feel less fragile and more like a serious multi-purpose display. The LG OLED evo W6 pulls together LG’s 13 years of OLED work, true-wireless experiments, and AI processing into something that finally behaves like the wallpaper TV idea always promised. At CES 2026, it reads less like a stunt and more like a sign that the next wave of TVs will be judged not only on how they look when they are on, but on how gracefully they disappear when they are not.The post LG’s Impossibly Thin 9mm Wallpaper TV Goes Wireless at CES 2026 first appeared on Yanko Design.

A Line of Mural Wallpapers from Astek Celebrates ‘Eterna Nouveau’

Living in a high-rise apartment or a house with a small yard comes with the disadvantage of not having access to garden space. Fortunately, fine wallpaper manufacturer Astek has a way to bring beautiful blooms indoors. The company’s collection of dreamy floral mural designs called Eterna Nouveau is conceived as a reinterpretation of the Art Nouveau movement of the early 20th century, which historically flourished in Europe and emphasized nature-inspired motifs like flowers and birds. Eterna Nouveau’s arching, sinuous stems and leaves nod to its namesake style’s characteristic “whiplash” lines. “Aquavita,” for example, features lilies and other water plants that illustrates life both above and below the surface. And “Carnivoria” celebrates more unusual plants, like Venus fly traps. A variety of colorways emphasize the designs’ bold forms and delicate metallic outlines. The motifs were first created by hand, then digitized so that they can be sized up or down to fit custom spaces. Printed to order, the colors and shapes can even be customized for special projects.

Desktop Wallpaper: November 2024 With Microsoft

As we count down the final months of 2024’s Designer Desktops, Microsoft Design is bringing us a dose of zen just in time for the bustling holiday season. This month’s desktop design is ready to calm your screen and your spirit. You might be giving away your age if you can recall the Bliss wallpaper that Microsoft designed in the fall of 2001 from memory. Those vibrant, rolling green hills, paired with the charming antics of Clippy, shaped a whole era of tech. That image graced computers everywhere – from our home desks to library kiosks – and cemented its place in desktop history. Now, as Microsoft prepares to celebrate a massive milestone – 50 years in 2025 – their designers are reimagining Bliss through a modern lens, evolving the landscape scene with fresh expressions for today’s world. For November, the desktop takes a quirky, cute turn: a moss-covered frog-like house floats serenely on a lily pad amid open waters. It’s a playful wink to the Bliss of yesteryear while offering a calm, refreshing space for your tech – because who says a little whimsy can’t be relaxing?

Desktop Wallpaper: September 2025 With Vratislav Pecka of PosterLad

A new month, a new reason to refresh your screen! For September’s Designer Desktop, we’re turning up the volume with a jolt of color and clean geometry from Vratislav Pecka of PosterLad. Known for his bold approach to minimalism, Pecka has built a cult following with his punchy palettes, pleasing symmetry, and compositions that feel like Bauhaus and Brutalism got a modern-day digital upgrade. There aren’t hidden messages to decipher because, as Pecka himself puts it, the goal isn’t to deliver deep meaning, but rather to create something visually engaging that catches the eye and brings a moment of joy. And that’s exactly what this month’s desktop design, Crystal, brings. Vivid gradients of warm oranges and fiery pinks dissolve into electric blues, slicing across the screen like refracted light in rhythmic symmetry. It’s full of energy and movement, yet still calm enough to bring a sense of visual peace when your eyes land on it. A soft landing spot for your scattered icons – and maybe your scattered thoughts too. Download the wallpapers for free with the links below for all your tech devices today!
