January 2026 Desktop Wallpaper Collection from Smashing Magazine

A new year is the perfect opportunity to break free from routines, reset habits, and refine how you do things.

While you may have made plenty of New Year's resolutions, sometimes it's the small changes that work wonders — a tidy desktop and a new wallpaper, for example, that give you a little motivation boost when you need it.

In this post, you'll find desktop wallpapers to accompany you through the first month of the new year.

All wallpapers come in versions with and without a calendar and can be downloaded for free.

The artists are kindly sharing their work with you, so you can give something back to them, too: tell them how much you like their designs, check out their websites, or share their work with friends and colleagues.
