How to Design Ideas for Home Screen Interface on iOS 14

Choose a white and black theme for a minimalist look. Black and white icons on a simple black or white background give you a modern and elegant look. Some iPhone users also commented that the simple interface, with few colors, reduced their desire to look at the screen. If you don’t want to use custom icons or widgets, you can easily switch your phone to a black and white look just by going to the accessibility settings. Here’s how to do it: ^[1]

• Open Settings and select Accessibility .
• Select Display & Text Size , and then select Cpor Filters .
• Turn on the slider next to Cpor Filters , and then select Greyscale in the list. Now your phone is showing grayscale!
• If you want a simpler look, choose a black or white wallpaper. You can also get black and white icon packs or design your own and use those icons to create custom shortcuts for your favorite apps.

Prioritize weather information with seasonal themes. Whether you are a summer lover or a snow fanatic, the seasonal theme is the idea that makes your phone screen eye-catching. For example, create a spring style by setting a floral wallpaper, and then add a clock with a floral border. Add weather information so you can quickly catch up on what’s going on outdoors!

• You can also create a seasonal photo slideshow you like using a photo app like: Photo Widget: Simple or PHOTO ALBUM. ^[2]

Use pastel colors to make your home screen look soothing. Show your love for all things cute and airy with a pastel palette. Choose backgrounds and icons with light colors like pink, blue, yellow, green, and purple. Use a photo app like Photo Widget: Simple or Widgetsmith to add some lovely photos to your home screen along with your favorite widgets and apps.

• For example, you would use a sunset photo with purple, pink, and blue tones as your background, and then add a shortcut with a similar tone.
• Add an optional photo widget with lovely photos or inspirational quotes on pastel backgrounds.

Choose modern style with neon theme. The neon-themed home screen gives it a trendy 80s look. Get the anchor icon pack, use the one that comes with an app like Themify or Apple Icons Customizer, or design your own using the Shortcuts app. Some apps like Widgy or Widgetsmith allow you to create custom widgets with anchor or luminous themes.

• Make your home screen old fashioned with a neon lighted brick wall wallpaper. Add a neon clock at the top and layer a few neon-lit app icons below.
• You can also set up Dark Mode to highlight icons and widgets. Go to Settings , then select Display & Brightness . Select Dark to enable Dark Mode. ^[3]

Choose retro icons to create a retro style. If you want a simple style and the image is not too sharp, the retro look is an interesting choice. Apps like Retro Widgets and websites like Icon Rewind let you create classic app icons and widgets for your home screen that take you back to a time without smartphones. If you like creating icons with the old pixel style, use an app like Pixel Widget.

• Choose a nostalgic background, such as one inspired by old video games or the classic Apple logo.

Show love for your favorite show, movie, artist, or team. To prove you’re a “hard fan”, you can customize the look of your home screen. No matter if you’re into a certain popular comic or video game, you’re sure to find a custom icon pack to match. If you don’t want to design your own, search Google with keywords like “Good Omens iOS 14 icons” (Beautiful Omens icons for iOS 14) or “Chicago Bulls custom widgets for iPhone” (Chicago Bulls Widgets for iPhone) ).

• Many fans sell or donate wallpapers, widgets, and icons on sites like Etsy and Widgetopia.

Select a single line drawing theme. Icons and widgets designed in a hand-drawn style look both trendy and interesting, and make your home screen look like a diary or drawing pad. Get doodle style icon packs or design your own using an app like Widgetsmith or App Icon Creator.

• You can get a doodle or single stroke icon from sites like The Noun Project or Icon8. ^[4]
