There have always been many design trends which determined the most popular aspects of web design. Today we'll focus our attention on the diverse texture patterns being applied to website designs.
We all know that textures now are extremely common and popular, though it's a long way already that they have been commonly employed. The designers currently have put various textured patterns to even greater use, eventually accomplishing completely different, seamlessly tiling website styles.
But what is the point of such an insane popularity? It may well be that the textures give the websites completely different feel with all those subtle undertones which are rendered within each particular pattern. The websites with a textured look can easily articulate various messages the designer wanted to imply. Plus, the texture usually sets the overall mood of the website creating truly unique and individual foundation.
When it comes down to the applying aspect, texture patterns can be differently accomplished to a web design. In some cases textures can be used to emphasize a particular part of the design. More often they are tailored in combination with many other design elements. Throughout the layout, the textures usually remain in the background to support the tone of the design and make the website content easier to perceive. We may also spot the textured samples in headers, sidebars, footers, or other content areas – it actually depends.
In this post we're featuring the variety of 150 awesomely textured websites sorted by certain motifs – that is the texture pattern used in each particular set. Make sure, there are lots of design options to find inspirational and useful. In this stunning showcase you may also discover TemplateMonster templates where textures have been as well applied to the design. Ok, now it's high time to get started:

As you've seen in this round-up, it contains multiple different texture sets. If to examine closely most web designs usually employ wood texture. It's more likely an over-used pattern in modern web design, though paper, fabric, brick, stone textures are as well perfectly used to highlight the content. And I guess the last point we've mentioned – one of the latest design trends now is the tendency to merge the use of textures catering to a specific website look and feel.
We hope you enjoyed this showcase and that it was an impressive visual source of unique and artful aspects of textured web designs.
