As a designer, I often like to add textures to my work when the project calls for it. Take a look around. You are hard pressed not to notice the endless applications textures have in both print and web design. Open up your favorite magazine or browse any of your adored CSS galleries to find evidence of what I am talking about. From grungy to sleek, earthy to fabrics, it is prudent for you to have an arsenal of textures at your fingertips.
Today we are releasing a set of seamless paper textures, in six different color flavors, for you to download and use immediately in your next website design project.
These are low resolution images and not intended for print use.
The zip archive has everything you need from individual jpg images to a Photoshop Pattern set containing all six patterns. Play with the demo and switch between the 6 different textures.
What you get in the download
- one (1) jpg image – Purple
- one (1) jpg image – Red
- one (1) jpg image – Orange
- one (1) jpg image – Blue
- one (1) jpg image – Brown
- one (1) jpg image – Green
- 1 Photoshop Pattern set containing all six colors
You can use these openly and freely as well as redistribute as long as there is a credit and link back to this post. Please do not directly link to the download file.

Thanks, Lou.
I am a huge fan of both minimalism and textures. When I made these, I was playing around with the idea of combining both. I hope you find these useful and thanks as well for reading my guest post on Design Informer. It was a lot of fun and I hope to do more of it in the future.
