Grunge
To avoid the “Web 2.0″ style, web designers use grunge texture to gives their design a less uniform, less structured, more organic look and feel. It doesn’t necessarily stand for dirty, though it’s easily recognized by the gritty texture, uneven/torn edges, worn, faded and aged graphic elements. This texture is best to use on any extreme sport, rock band, or any web design whose target is young people.

Elegant
If you’re planning to create an elegant look for a web design, using a texture can be an alternative to make it more appealing. Though, you have to be selective in choosing the texture. Subtle textures work best for this type of look, although sometimes you can also use leather, wood, or even fabric texture.
