The use of texture in web design is somewhat replaced by flat design with flat shapes and simple colors. Actually, this is not a bad thing given the messy results when it was over-done in most of the cases.  Sometimes though, texture is the only way to add extra warmth, personality and feeling. And also, stand out.

Texture can achieve a really memorable result if added in small elements and not throughout the whole website and exhausting the user’s eyes. This can be achieved through typography, images, background patterns, UI/UX elements and hand – drawn illustrations. Just small elements of the above will create a beautiful online experience that definitely stands out.
