When I start designing for a project, I always in confusion that what background should I use to make the design appealing. Frankly speaking, I rarely use a background with solid color or gradient. For me the background should be lively and attractive to make my design more appealing and catchy.
I look into my textures folder and choose the appropriate one. But sometimes, I want to keep it subtle and that’s where my large collection of paper textures comes in use. But finding the right texture is always very difficult, you have to spend time browsing the internet for finding the ones. Thats why, I used these 10 sites to download high resolution textures that allows you to download and use free textures for both personal and commercial use.
I thought it would be great idea to compile a list of the best I found on the internet and in this article will stick to the free attractive paper textures. Stay tuned for more styles of free high-res textures in the future to produce more awesome effects in your design.
And for now, have a look on SaveDelete’s compilation of 20 high quality paper textures for free download. I hope you will like the free stuff here and it will surely help you to make your design more lively and interesting.
So Free Textures are quite essential for a designer to produce some awesome effects and to present the idea better.

This is splendid for me, thank you! Paper Demon Jewelry, my jewelry line, is made from Japanese paper and fabric, so i am constantly looking for paper backgrounds for my stuff.
But to echo Shekhar, you do seem to be missing Japanese washi paper backgrounds. Could you maybe add one and make it 21?

I agree that one of the most visually appealing, and most understood areas of a website (or print) can be the background. After all, it does take up the most space.
