2021 really snuck up on us after a very turbulent year, but luckily our Printed.com customers are one step ahead when it comes to Calendar designs. From minimalist florals and neon veg to whimsical wildlife and cultural collabs – read on for all the 2021 Calendar inspiration you need!

Aim Studio Co

First up are the awesome Aim Studio Co. This stunning design uses delicate floral illustrations to frame each calendar month, with a subtle nod to the changing seasons. Printed on our uncoated card stock the final finish has a very natural texture that really brings the colours to life. Order yours here!

Little Red Boots

Freelance illustrator Kathryn of Little Red Boots is based on the edge of the New Forest. It’s no wonder therefore that her Wall Calendar design is inspired by the surrounding wildlife. Kathryn believes that now more than ever people are turning to nature for comfort and distraction, and we couldn’t agree more. Finished with a luxurious (and ‘strokable’) velvet lamination, your can grab your very own copy here

Anila Patel (collaborative calendar)

2020 has definitely been a year for creative collaboration, and the work of these amazing British Asian designers is the perfect example! The idea behind this beautiful 2021 Calendar was to create an Indian inspired design, that celebrates both the artist’s backgrounds and their culture in various creative styles. 

Huge kudos to all of the designers; Anila Patel, Dina Mistry, Vijesh Sonigra, Nina Mistry-Rhoades, Jitesh Patel and Sanjay Pankhania. Get your hands on your very own copy here

Astrid Weguelin

Lockdown has been tough on everyone this year, but it’s been inspiring to see creatives using the extra free time to their advantage. Astrid Weguelin set herself a challenge to create a series of illustrations on just one subject – vegetables! These gorgeous, organic drawings have beautiful varying shapes and colour patterns, which tie in perfectly to her 2021 Calendar. Don’t miss out on getting yours here.  

Katie Ruby Miller

Every year we greatly anticipate Katie Ruby Miller‘s Calendar design, and we’re pleased to see it’s better than ever! Katie curates her twelve favourite cat pun illustrations into a Calendar annually. This year she has changed the format slightly, opting for an A5 Double Page Calendar. From David Meowie to Alan Purrtridge – ‘The Punderful World of Cats’ is an absolute necessity for your home or office next year. Get one here while you still can!

Sarah Frances

Tabitha Macbeth
