Here at Mixkit, we spend a lot of time looking at Trello Boards throughout the day, and we like to change our Trello backgrounds whenever we can.
Not only does updating the background of each board give us something nice to look at, but the right custom image can also help set the tone of a project, and when used effectively, can amuse, inspire or motivate the team.
If you’re a Trello Gold or Business Class subscriber, take a tip from Mixkit and customize your Trello Board background with content from our library of awesome free illustrations, whatever the project you’re working on! Here’s a couple of ideas to get you started:

Trello is an essential tool in our working day, so it’s no surprise to us that at least 40% of users create Trello boards to help them achieve their personal goals, too. If you find yourself carding up your dreams, why not choose an image to constantly remind you that you’re on the right track every time you open your board.

Trello Boards can do more than help you keep track of your work. When you add an awesome, relevant background image to your board, you can also say something about the importance of that work, and the spirit of your team.
