Sci-fi wallpapers

Science fiction asks what comes next, and the pictures on this page offer some answers: corridors on a ship with long perspective, machines that are neither quite robot nor building, planetary surfaces under two moons, and spacecraft at rest in a vast hangar.

The interiors are the most distinctive. Clean surfaces, strip lighting and symmetrical design give them a calm, ordered feel, which works well as a desktop background. The exteriors are more dramatic, with large objects against a starry sky, and they are better on a phone or a wide monitor.

Colour tends to be restrained: grey, white, steel blue, with a single accent in orange or cyan to mark light sources. Because the compositions use strong perspective lines, you can find frames where the vanishing point sits in a good place for a clock.

These pictures are original designs made for the site.

For adjacent subjects, the space page has the setting without the machinery, cyberpunk has the dense city version, retro has a vintage idea of the future, and architecture shows buildings that inspired many of these forms.
