Texture gives flat email layouts a physical, tactile feel: grain, paper, fabric, brush strokes, and subtle noise that make a design feel crafted. The examples here use texture as a background layer that adds warmth without hurting legibility. Notice how the strongest sends keep type on clean areas and let the texture live in borders, headers, and product settings.
