Subtle background textures will be popping up all over the web this year. This new trend doesn’t go overboard with textures (as seen in many grunge styles), but focuses on simplicity and a more precise use of texture. The goal of the trend is to give the site a surface and the illusion of actual texture, but to not distract from the other visual elements on the page. A subtle texture can add dimension and depth to a design, creating a sensory experience for the viewer. If the texture is used well it can become a significant and beautiful feature of the web design. Check out the examples below showcasing great uses of subtle textures.
