If you do a Google search for free seamless patterns, you’ll get tons of results. It can be difficult to find images that you can actually use in your design work. In this article you’ll find some fresh, free, high-quality patterns. As always, it’s best to read the usage guidelines for each one and contact the creator if you’re unsure about how they can be used.

Some of the seamless patterns are vectors, some are Photoshop pattern files and some are just static images. Hope you managed to find something useful here :)

Hope you like the new look and feel!

The original blog design was getting a bit tired (it was over 4 years old) so I decided to redesign the theme and make it responsive.

Things are still being tweaked and there are probably still a few teething problems. If you spot a bug, or just want to comment on the new design, leave a comment below :)
