65+ Free Seamless and Tileable Wood Backgrounds for Bloggers and Web Designers
Most WordPress themes today allow you to insert your own background image and it’s a really simple but effective way of changing your site’s mood and character.
The easiest way to find free and beautiful images for your background is to use the Creative Commons image search tool.
However, bear in mind that the larger the image file you use, the longer your site will take to load. That’s where seamless and tileable backgrounds come in handy. You simply upload the image via the WordPress dashboard appearance tab or through your theme’s admin panel and make sure you set it to tile both vertically and horizontally and you’ll be good to go.
One of my favourite image types are seamless wood backgrounds and I’ve collected a fair number of them over the years. Today, I decided to package together the better one and release them here for the greater good.
I’ve arranged the images into 2 simple packs: one contains dark wood backgrounds and the other contains light wood backgrounds. But you can download both in a single zip file that I’ve uploaded to my DropBox account.
Please let me know what you think about these tiles and if you decide to use one on your blog or website, post a quick link in the comment section. I love to see what people get up to with my resources!
Pack 1: Light Wood
This pack contains an assortment of 25+ high quality light wood seamless background tiles. Free to use and modify and great for blog backgrounds or web design.
Pack 2: Dark Wood
This pack contains an assortment of 40 high quality dark wood seamless background tiles, free to use and modify and ideal for adding a touch of class to your website design.
Add a little love to your download!
The files are free to download, all I ask in return is a tiny bit of Twitter or Facebook love.
Feel like sharing?
[...] I’ve transferred these files over to my new blog, wpliving.net. They are still available to download and they are still free. Just follow the link and get them [...]
Am I missing the link to download them? I don’t see it.
Thanks for your help & I can’t wait to use them!
Hi Jessica, thanks for stopping by. To access the download, simply click on one of the social media buttons inside the green box up there. Once you post a tweet, FB update or Google update, the link will be revealed inside the green box. It’s just a way of generating a little bit of social media buzz around this content. If you really have trouble accessing it, ping me an email via the contact form and I’ll send you the direct link. Thanks again.
your stupid twitter gateway to the download doesn’t work. fuck you.
Nice. Very classy comment. You could of course opt for the more sensible method of sending a quick email with a “hello” and a “thank you” and I’d be happy to help you out. Your move chief…
Fantastic troll deflection. And thank you for the excellent freebies.
Thanks so much for these beautiful looking freebies. I build all sorts of websites, and haven’t found a great selection of wood tiles until now. Thank you sharing.
You’re welcome. Glad they’re of use.
Cheers! Where would the web be without the generosity of people like yourself!
Thanks a lot – really love all of these images – I’m using them on my blog right now. Love the rest of your site also
Thanks! Nice sharing this!

tried to email – will have to look for something else
You should try fix this for others
Er…just click the big green download button and you’re good to go…
It just takes me to ads?
Dee, yes there are a lot of ads on the download page. It’s a free hosting service so I guess they stay alive through advertising, but if you look carefully, you’ll find the download button.
Here’s a screenshot of my own experience: http://wpliving.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/screenshot.png
got it!
for me, the ads were all very similar to the download link and it was hard to see!
thankyou!
@dee glad you found it. If you know of an ad-free zero-cost large file hosting site, with unlimited bandwidth, please let me know. I’ll be happy to shift the files to something more user-friendly.
