Some beautiful websites, thanks for sharing!
Very inspirational. I know textures are one of the trends to watch out for this year and will be involved in a lot of the designs we see this year. We have introduced textures into our website but too heavy. Bookmarked as a resource, cheers.
Very nice examples, Mike. Seems everyone found the right amount of textures without overdoing it.

beautiful examples, thx a lot. :-)
Hey here is a good example of textures – http://www.insafehandschildcare.com
:)
I’m honored to be featured along side some of these great designs!
Very good line-up and great inspiration. Textures always help a site out and seems like you can never go wrong with them.
Awesome list! I love the use of textures. However, I have to be honest and say that I really need to stop looking at these lists. I get so many new ideas and not enough time to implement them.
Seriously though, great round-up. The sites featured are really top notch.
Nice collection of not only textures, but also typography explorations. Thanks!
Great list! Inspirational for sure. Another portfolio (mine) to utilize texture:

Not meaning to spam, just another example of nice texture!
very inspiring .. thanks :)
Designing an awesome minimalist web design can great, but adding in the textured elements to it can turn it into a visually stunning piece of artwork.
sorry to bust but would hate for someone to be turned off by a missing word.

Some nice sites here! Thanks for adding my site (http://dailypayne.com)!
Great list for inspiration and ideas! Thanks for taking the time to showcase these designs.
I enjoyed looking at those. It was right up my street. This stuff now for my site!
A super duper collection of textured design trends in web design.
Nice article! A great collection of sites which use textures! I have taken some good ideas from this post :-)
Nice collection. I love textured websites, textures add that little bit of depth that can really make a website pop. I especially like Pilates El Paso and Daily Payne. Good work!
Really inspiring stuff, I like using textures on my sites – often I think that the more subtle ones work the best!
Great list and thanks for posting. Also, thank you for posting my site. It’s much appreciated and it feels nice to be mentioned with beautifully designed sites such as these.
All these sites are beautifully made. They are simply impressive especially Vegas Uncork’d, it is awesome. I home pattern my designs like the sites above.
Thanks for sharing
very nice web desing post!
Really nice roundup of textures! I’ve actually been collecting textures while studying abroad in Italy this past year for this very reason. They can really make a design stand out. If anyone is interested, you can download them free here and use in your future designs! http://www.coryetzkorn.com/textures-of-italy/
Some lovely web designs there. But as always, content is king! :) So in an ideal world, a website will have a nice design like those and lots of engaging content.
