It’s a paradox: our love for fresh-fallen snow, and hatred for the ruthless cold weather that makes it. Wintry wallpapers… I think most of us can live with that. It’s the perfect compromise. You get to enjoy the eerie beauty of nature on your desktop in the safety and warmth of home or the office. Nature is never as harsh when viewed from behind the screen of a computer.

To celebrate the month that we associate most with Winter, here is a beautiful collection of winter wallpapers that we hope will find a home on your screen. If however you prefer darker wallpapers, we have that too.
