A couple posts ago I asked if anyone knew of an archive of old tiled wallpapers. There really weren't any that were curated or easily accessible, so I started one. So far there are over 12k tiles!

Please enjoy.

Additionally, during my searches I found this website. It offers some more crisp, modern options to choose from. Really nice faux-retro stuff.

Nice, looking at it made me feel surprisingly nostalgic. I guess you don't really see tiling backgrounds much anymore. Nice work on the archive too!
