25 Beautiful Websites Using Subtle Textures
Published in GalleriesTextures can serve as a prominent element in a design, or they can subtly add character to a design without drawing much attention.

In this post we’ll showcase 25 websites that make excellent use of textures without allowing them to dominate the design.

Great post! We used subtle textures in a site we launched recently for Rush3 Studio: http://www.rush3studio.com
A plaster texture was used on the homepage, a linen treatment on the main product page and an parchment texture on the “About Rush” page.
Excellent stuff, really enjoy the Mediovski one.
