This post rounds up a showcase of web designs that are all helping make the wood texture cool again. Wood textures in web design aren’t anything new, actually, they were pretty trendy after the days of “web 2.0” until they kind of lost their coolness.

Recently though, we’ve begun to see wood textures make a return in website designs and iPhone and iPad app interfaces. There are many styles, depending on what you are looking for. These websites will definitely inspire your future designs, making things even more professional.

  1. This is an awesome list Iggy. A good website design determine the success or failure of a web-site. Since the visitor of the page is the only person who clicks the mouse and therefore decides everything, user-centric design has become a standard approach for successful and profit-oriented web design.

  2. I really enjoy working with wood texture backgrouds. Thank you for sharing these greta designs and layouts. Its refreshing to see the backgrounds being applied so artistically on the websites.

  3. Hipstamatic is a great example of a website using wood textures in an appealing matter. Wood textures, in my opinion, only really lost its edge because of the amount of websites that were designed using wood textures in the exact same manner which made it really boring.

  4. I think wood texture is always nice and give a website or any graphic piece a certain depth to it. Love the collection you came up with!

  5. I think that Designer Founders website is the best here, but maybe that's because I was already backing their project over KickStart. Either way, you got yourself a pretty awesome collection Chris! Thanks for sharing.
