Say Hello to August with Free Wallpapers

I don’t know about you, but August always feels like a gentle shift. It’s still summer —technically, but the energy softens. You start craving slower mornings, cozy evenings, and maybe even a hint of fall. So for this month’s wallpapers, I leaned into that transitional mood with soft palettes, rich florals, warm textures, and a little glassy magic to pair with Apple’s newest Liquid Glass for the upcoming fall season.

Whether you’re soaking up the last picnics or already dreaming about sweater weather, I hope these wallpapers bring some calm beauty to your screens this month. 🧺🌸

P.S. I didn't create phone or tablet-specific wallpapers this month, but I did include calendar-free versions of all these wallpapers for you to resize and crop how you like for your other devices!

🧺 Here’s the full folder of all the wallpapers!

🌸 Featured August Wallpapers

01. Farmer's Market Florals

This one is August in bloom. Inspired by a fresh bouquet I picked up at the local market— full of cosmos, zinnias, and late-summer roses. It’s bold but grounding, the kind of background that gives your screen a pop of happy.

02. Glassy Desert Calendar

This one was made with iPadOS 26 in mind. That soft circle of glass? Totally liquid-glass inspired. The subtle gradients behind it mimic a dreamy desert scene at sunset. Calm. Ambient. Layer-friendly.

03. Picnic Season

A little nostalgic, a little romantic. This one’s for the last picnic days of summer. Apples, sparkling juice, and baby’s breath. Captured on a woven blanket. I layered a tiny calendar into the corner so it doubles as a functional visual treat.

04. August Flow

I created two versions of the August Flow wallpaper. This one is abstract and playful — think of it as August’s energy in motion. Warm coral waves collide with cool aqua, balanced with buttery peach. It’s the most flexible of the set, working well with app layouts or minimal widgets. And I think these two are my personal favorites for the month, and the calendar-free version is perfect year-round!
