20 Inspiring Textured Websites
Textured Websites are becoming more and more popular. Mainly because adding simple, subtle textures to a design can really make a difference and improve the visual appearance. Textures can be anything: wood, metal, brick, even simple dust scratches.
There are tonnes of great resources around the net that offer free high quality textures. Two of my favourites being Spoon Graphics and Circle Box.
Here’s a collection of what I feel are 20 of the most visually appearing and inspiring textured websites.

Conclusion
As you can see, textures can really make a difference and improve the visual appearance of a sites’ design. Do you think that the sites listed would be as appealing as they are without the textures? I wouldn’t think so.
Remember, textures can be anything: wood, metal, brick, even simple dust scratches. They don’t have to be ‘full on’ and dominating the design, subtle can be just as effective.
