The Windows 11 reveal has got us excited, but as with most major operating system announcements, you’ll have to wait for this one to ship. While Windows Insiders will be able to use the betas pretty soon, most people will have to wait until later in 2021 or early 2022 to get the update.
The quickest way to give your PC a nice Windows 11 feel is by adding the lovely new wallpapers to your desktop. Even if your PC can’t run Windows 11, these wallpapers are sure to make you feel like you’re living in the future.
Top 5 Windows 11 Wallpapers
Windows 11 has lots of awesome wallpapers, but we picked the cream of the crop so that you don’t have to. Let’s dive right in and take a look at the five best Windows 11 wallpapers.
1. Folded Fabric
Windows 11 has several variations of the folded fabric wallpaper. To some, it looks like an artistic way to depict fabrics, whereas others might just see what clothes look like inside a washing machine. No matter which camp you belong to, it’s hard not to like this pattern against a dark background.
2. Sunrise, Blue Skies
If you prefer to have your PC calm you down the moment you boot it, the sunrise set of Windows 11 wallpapers is just for you. This idyllic landscape is our favorite from the sunrise set.
3. Glowing Orb
Windows 11 has a few glowing orb wallpapers, and the green variant is our favorite. It reminds us of beautiful shots from nature documentaries, particularly the ones that focus on tropical rainforests.
4. Fabric-ception
If you thought that there wasn’t quite enough of the folded fabric aesthetic in our first pick, this one is sure to sate your needs. It’s got enough fabrics to make tailors proud while still leaving a lot of space for icons and widgets to beautify your desktop.
5. Fluidic Flow
Windows 11’s fluid wallpapers have a clean aesthetic that we really like. Our pick here depicts the ebbs and flows of life really well, and the color is soothing enough to put you in a good mood right as you boot your computer.
