Your phone’s wallpaper says a lot about you. It’s an opportunity to be creative, and represent your mood, aspirations, and emotions. Sometimes this means setting a photo of your happiest memories, or a using a wallpaper with bright, vibrant colours and quotes. And sometimes it’s better to keep it simple with a black aesthetic wallpaper for your phone.
Having a black phone background doesn’t have to represent a sad time in your life – although it can. Black is an incredibly powerful colour, and is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a simple, minimal wallpaper. I’ve used a black wallpaper for many years of my life, as I feel it works as a neutral choice of background – especially if you have a black phone or phone case.
I’ve created 30+ black aesthetic wallpapers for you to use. Whether you’re looking for sad, aesthetic black and white photography, dark galaxy wallpapers, simple or minimal black wallpapers, or wallpapers with cartoons, quotes, or illustrations, then this is the place for you.
These wallpapers are – as always – completely free for you to use however you like. But if you love them or end up using one of them or your phone, then please consider sharing this post on social media so others can use them too!
