How can a calming Desktop background help?

Here is the List of Calm Desktop Backgrounds

We have tried to keep something for everyone in these 25+ calming backgrounds for desktop.

Starting with the waves of sea…

A glance of the sea has a calming effect on our brain!

Sea waves, colorful sky, and clouds… calmness amplified!

Talking about the sky, it too can make you feel calm at one point and inspire you to keep moving further in life. As they say, sky’s the limit! Keep going…

Sky, clouds, mountains and the moon! Peace peace everywhere! Such wallpapers are very relaxing.

Or does a colorful sky make you feel calm and happy?

A quick fact check- Colors have an impact on your brain (generally positive). But, often the poor color BLUE is seen in negative light (that’s a myth). In fact, the blue color is found to bring peace and calm in our lives! So, how about having a blue calming background for your desktop?

Hues of blue perfect to find your calm. You can choose this as a relaxing computer background.

A blue colored wall will not only add a rustic touch to your desktop but will also help you stay calm.

We have covered the sky and water! Now it is time to explore greenscape! Basically, greenery loaded wallpapers for your desktop. Looking at plants and greenery can actually help you reduce symptoms of stress (even if they are virtual). Interesting right?

Greenscape with waterfall is complete peace (no arguments please)

Another green calm Desktop Background. Didn’t this green land with curvy lines just left you awestruck? (Curvy lines lead to pleasure, making us feel calm. Just human things!)

This reminds me that, even non-human creatures can also make your brain feel calm. Wondering who and how? Cute animals (puppy, kitten, baby panda, and more) evoke an instinct of parenthood in us thus leading to feeling calm.

You can even give this good boy love by some between breaks Boop-Boop

Didn’t this soothing desktop background make you smile? (Topping the charts for me for sure)

Apart from these cuteness overloaded non-human god creations flowers are also found to soothe our brain. The vibrant colors of flowers radiate much positivity than we can think of.

Just Bloom Where You Are Planted! This is a very relaxing computer background.

Even vector flowers will serve the purpose! So pretty and vibrant to look at.

You can intensify the soothing effect of floral calming backgrounds for desktop by having words on motivation on it! You can read the quote and look at the flowers and increase the calming effect manifold.

Now these words of motivation can be put straight in the center…

Apart from these flowers, there is one flower in particular that has calming and soothing effects multiplied. Any guesses?

It is SUNFLOWER! Its yellow color promotes happiness, positivity, energy & optimism and the flower itself symbolises to look at the brighter side of life.

Looking at this sunflower is truly brain soothing

Just look at the brighter side of life and find your calm

Apart from looking at the brighter side of life, you can also look at the fractals! Sounds gibberish? Well, fractals are repetitive patterns that put our brain on repetition mode thus, letting the feeling of peace and happiness flow in!

Natural fractal. Sheer peace to look at.

A digitally created fractal will also have a similar impact on your brain
