Showcase of Light Texture in Web Design

Published in Galleries

Texture is obviously a common design element that is being used on a lot of modern websites. However, texture doesn’t always have to be a part of the design that stands out immediately to visitors. Light textures can also be used to subtly improve the design of the site. In this post we’ll feature 25 sites that use texture without it dominating the design.

@O Zoke: +1!

84 colors is the one of the best stumbles for me in 2010 ;)

Thanks for featuring me in this list. Right at the bottom! My Favourite is the Atebits website. Love that noise. I think the more subtle the texture the better in a lot of cases.

It’s funny how something so subtle really makes a difference in all these designs..
