Textures are used very often in modern web design and often with great results. Typically they are used as backgrounds and on design elements such as featured content area, header and footer making them stand out and have a realistic and sometimes worn out look. However textures and patterns are very versatile and can be used in many different ways. In some cases they are used in a discrete way and visitors may not even notice them and in other cases they are a key element in the design. In this post I am presenting a showcase of 35 beautiful web sites with great use of textures and patterns. Enjoy.

This is a pretty cool list, thanks for sharing. I LURVE the hugs for monsters one – well done to Joe for designing that.

Some of them are really impressive, it’s pretty cool what you can do with a good Texture and the right ideas.
thanks for having me on here.
Thank you for listing our website.
Some pretty nice use of textures on some of those sites, even though it’s kinda old now I guess.
