Let\u2019s take a look at 6 examples of simple background designs you can use on your website or in your marketing campaign.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why You Should Choose a Simple Background Design<\/h2>\n<p>Wondering how a simple background design can be such a game-changer for branded marketing materials? Let\u2019s break down why simple backgrounds are so important.<\/p>\n<h3>Professional and Clean<\/h3>\n<p>Professional designs tend to be clean and straightforward. Conversely, busy, cluttered backgrounds can make your images look disorganized\u2014possibly causing potential customers to walk away from your brand because they can&#8217;t make sense of your message.<\/p>\n<p>Your brand\u2019s content should represent you well, whether you\u2019re an established corporation or a small business in the early stages of building your audience. A simple, professional-looking background design could help you make more of an impact on those who cross paths with your brand.<\/p>\n<h3>Helps Users Focus on Core Design Elements<\/h3>\n<p>A simple background design helps users focus on the core design elements of your image, like a graphic, logo, or text. After all, you want the focus to be on your call to action so they can act on it.<\/p>\n<p>One of the worst mistakes you can make in marketing is distracting users from the next step you want them to take next, and that\u2019s exactly what poorly designed images do. With all the competition out there, you want your visuals to create a sense of urgency and make your viewers say \u201cI need this in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If users can\u2019t focus on what you want them to do, like purchasing a product or clicking on a blog post link, they\u2019ll be more likely to keep scrolling.<\/p>\n<h3>Easier to Coordinate With<\/h3>\n<p>When you use a simple design for your background, it\u2019s easier to coordinate your text and graphic elements. In other words, the elements of your design won\u2019t be clashing or competing with the background.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many different components to the images we use in our marketing. It\u2019s much easier to keep things simple so that users will have a greater chance of pausing mid-scroll to take a look at your image.<\/p>\n<h3>Easier Viewing on Small Screens or At A Glance<\/h3>\n<p>These days, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/277125\/share-of-website-traffic-coming-from-mobile-devices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">54.8% of the people browsing the web<\/a> are using mobile devices. On Facebook alone, <a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/facebook-users#facebook-mobile-vs-desktop-usage-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">98.5% of its user base<\/a>\u2014a staggering 2.8 billion users\u2014are accessing the app via mobile. And 81.8% of those users (2.33 billion) are only accessing the app through a mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>When you select a simple background design for your marketing materials, users will have an easier time viewing your designs on small screens. They\u2019ll be more likely to recognize what they\u2019re seeing at a glance, which will encourage them to take action on your posts.<\/p>\n<h3>Not Too Overwhelming for Users<\/h3>\n<p>Internet users are already taking in a tremendous amount of information simply by scrolling the feed on any given platform. Sticking to a simple background design will get your images in front of them without overwhelming their senses.<\/p>\n<h3>Versatile<\/h3>\n<p>Choosing a background that\u2019s simple and clean makes it easier to create a wide range of graphics. That\u2019s because a clean background design is more versatile than a busy one.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you might be able to easily pair a simple background design with graphic elements. On the other hand, this background style allows you to add standalone text if you\u2019d like. The right background can lend quite a bit of flexibility to your design process.<\/p>\n<h2>6 Examples of Simple Background Designs to Use &amp; How to Use Them<\/h2>\n<p>Looking for some excellent simple background designs? <a href=\"https:\/\/snappa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Snappa <\/a>has a wide range of royalty-free images and templates you can use to create eye-catching designs that are both simple and professional.<\/p>\n<p>Here are six examples of some attractive, yet simple, designs you can use in your marketing&#8211;and some tips for how to use them, too.<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract Art<\/h3>\n<p>Abstract backgrounds are a fantastic option if you\u2019re looking for a simple background design that is colorful and artistic.

When it comes to your marketing images, starscapes can provide a simple background design that conveys discovery, adventure, and innovation.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong><a class=\"template-link\" href=\"https:\/\/snappa.com\/get-started?template=S0AJKCWW9U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8411\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/starscape-endscreen-example.jpeg\" alt=\"starscape endscreen example\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/starscape-endscreen-example.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/starscape-endscreen-example-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/starscape-endscreen-example-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/starscape-endscreen-example-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/starscape-endscreen-example-1536x864.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this example, notice the clean, clean and tall, all-caps font that\u2019s paired with the image of the night sky. There\u2019s plenty of room in the design for the message to breathe, and the dark background creates excellent contrast for the bold, white text.<\/p>\n<h3>Bokeh Photography<\/h3>\n<p>Bokeh photography feels whimsical and can serve as a simple yet artistic background design. Paired with soft colors and geometric shapes, bokeh art can really help your content stand out without taking anything away from the message.<\/p>\n<p>You can search Snappa\u2019s library for bokeh art to find a wide variety of beautiful images. Consider incorporating translucent shapes with rounded edges and bold, basic text overlays for eye-catching quote images or special offers.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8412\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/bokeh-snappa-example.png\" alt=\"bokeh snappa example\" width=\"1494\" height=\"790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/bokeh-snappa-example.png 1494w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/bokeh-snappa-example-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/bokeh-snappa-example-1024x541.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/bokeh-snappa-example-768x406.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1494px) 100vw, 1494px\" \/>\n<h3>Minimalist Backgrounds<\/h3>\n<p>Minimalist principles can help you create a simple background design your followers will love. When it comes to creating minimal images, less is more.<\/p>\n<p>Consider using earth tones or neutral colors, and pairing them with clean fonts and graphic elements. The composition of the graphic below, for example, conveys a feeling of calm focus with its soothing green tones and simple design.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong><a class=\"template-link\" href=\"https:\/\/snappa.com\/get-started?template=1UV4FF3PV0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8413\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/minimalist-backgrounds-example.png\" alt=\"minimalist backgrounds example\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/minimalist-backgrounds-example.png 1600w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/minimalist-backgrounds-example-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/minimalist-backgrounds-example-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/minimalist-backgrounds-example-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/minimalist-backgrounds-example-1536x1152.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You might associate an earthy, minimalist graphic like this one with a wellness brand or a content creator that promotes growth and self-care. It\u2019s easy to tweak minimalist designs to mirror your brand\u2019s color palette and what it stands for.<\/p>\n<h3>Simple, Natural Elements<\/h3>\n<p>An image from nature can serve as a wonderful simple background for your design. In some cases, nature photography can even add an element of minimalism while maintaining a broader, more versatile color palette.<\/p>\n<p>Nature photography can complement your brand\u2019s message, particularly if you do business in the travel industry or offer content, products, or services focused on building and maintaining good health. Pair your background image with solid or translucent shapes and eye-catching fonts for a complete design.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong><a class=\"template-link\" href=\"https:\/\/snappa.com\/get-started?template=YSYMIMDXOC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8414\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/simple-natural-example.jpeg\" alt=\"simple natural example\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/simple-natural-example.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/simple-natural-example-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/simple-natural-example-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/simple-natural-example-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Clean Graphic Patterns<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, the best background is actually a clean pattern design.
