29 Days Of Inspiration (February 2024 Wallpapers Edition)
What will you make of the extra day that February has in store for us this year? Call an old friend, explore a new place, or get stuff done you have put off for so long maybe? Whatever you might have planned this month, our new collection of desktop wallpapers is bound to cater for a little inspiration spark along the way.
Created by artists and designers from across the globe, the wallpapers in this post come in versions with and without a calendar for February 2024 and can be downloaded for free — a monthly tradition that has been going on here at Smashing Magazine for more than twelve years already.
As a little bonus goodie, we also added some February favorites from our wallpapers archives to the collection. So maybe you’ll spot one of your almost-forgotten favorites in here, too? Thank you to everyone who challenged their creative skills and shared their artwork with us this month! Happy February!

“The shortest month of the year is not so short and gives us one more day to share, enjoy, and discover. We have been to Antarctica and we are going to almost the opposite extreme, Norway, to navigate through its fjords and discover unique spaces. And there, where the only company is a moose that has come down to drink, we remember Sophie and her particular way of seeing the world: ‘To children, the world and everything in it is new, something that gives rise to astonishment. It is not like that for adults. Most adults accept the world as a matter of course.’ Sophie’s World - Jostein Gaarder” — Designed by Veronica Valenzuela from Spain.

“I wanted to draw some very cozy place, both realistic and cartoonish, filled with little details. A space with a slightly unreal atmosphere that some great shops or cafes have. 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.

“February is the month of love par excellence, but also a different month. Perhaps because it is shorter than the rest or because it is the one that makes way for spring, but we consider it a special month. It is a perfect month to make plans because we have already finished the post-Christmas crunch and we notice that spring and summer are coming closer. That is why I like to imagine that maybe in another place someone is also making plans to travel to unknown lands.” — Designed by Verónica Valenzuela from Spain.

“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.
