25 Beautiful Examples of Textures in Web Design


Don’t we all love textures in web-design? I know I do. In fact I think we all do here at MediaLoot HQ. So we’ve collected 25 sites that make great use of textures. Some make use of them in a very obvious way and textures play a very important role in the site design, while others and use textures really subtly.

I hope you enjoy this post. Please feel free to chime in by leaving a comment at the end of the post.

    Lovely collection. All for design is just way too cool. I love the contrast in many websites as they are subtle and pleasing to the eyes.

    Thanks for the share. Some great inspiration here

    Nice collection, but I don’t really see many textures being used in these examples ?

    Hey guys, thanks a lot! Glad you liked the post smile

    @Aaron: well all of them use textures, some of them do use textures in a very subtle way - zoom in the some of the site’s backgrounds and you’ll see - I think ‘textures’ doesn’t necessarily mean using the obvious wooden background (imo) smile

    Is it ok to say that I am boycotting this post because it doesn’t feature my site? tongue laugh

    Seriously though, there are some killer designs here. I’ve always been a fan of textured websites, and always will be - these sites are just some examples of why.

    interesting is “that make great use of textures. Some make use of them in a very obvious way and textures play a very important role in the site design”

  • Jun 21, 2011 at 3:01 am

    Tous pour la conception est juste trop cool. J’aime le contraste dans de nombreux sites comme ils sont subtils et agréables pour les yeux. Merci pour le partage.
