While this theme is not nearly as versatile as those mentioned above, we had to mention it, since it’s just so darn cool.

1. Devine

Devine has a really rich, dark background with texture illuminated just at the top of the header bar. A wide white content column and light blue side bar make for a striking, contrast-rich presentation.

2. Decomposed

You can go red without going over-the-top with this sleek three-column theme. A soft grain and wrap-around tabs compliment the polished metal header and simple white content column. Decomposed is great for a personal site, and flexible enough for a creative business blog.

3. Academy

Keep it classy with this theme dubbed “Academy.” Subtle stripes on the header and grain in the side bar give this one just the right dose of texture to compliment the white space. Throw in a dash of orange-brown widget headers, and you’re on your way to the blogging equivalent of smooth jazz.

4. Cosmic Mission

You might have to lose the cutesy rocket ship if you intend to use this template for anything other than a blog about cutesy rocket ships. But the gray “stone” of the wrapper is a nice departure from the traditional white space. Layer that on the clean blue plastic graph, and you’ve got a pretty stylin’ home for your precious content.

5. Fabiano

I’m not in love with the leathery texture in the header and footer, but the fading pen lines that mark out the content boxes are really excellent. Clean white space abounds, but the theme in general has a warm, handmade feel.

6. Insector Vector

You can get a little bolder with patterns if you dare. Insector Vector’s got some quilted, vaguely paisley motifs happening here. Be warned: If you go this route, it’s probably best to keep the clutter factor of your actual content (widgets, embeds, photos, etc.) to a minimum.

7. i3Theme Series

If you’re a Mac fan who sneaks over to the Google side of the aisle when it comes to blogging, rest assured this series of themes will mask your defection.

Built to mimic a Mac OS, you’ve got all the sleek bars and patterns you’d expect from Apple’s design — perfect for a digital portfolio, or perhaps a digest of the latest news out of Cupertino.

8. Latitude

Just because you’re keeping it professional doesn’t mean you can’t throw some new colors into the game. The Latitude theme is staunch in its clean lines and wrap-around tabs, but mixes up the color scheme a bit with rich purple hues.

9. Old School

The worn pencil edges and graph paper chic are just enough to take this minimalist theme to the next level, design-wise. It’s great for a journal or an artist’s digital sketchbook.

10. Old SkoolBoard

There’s something about the way the side bar jumps up on the right and shouts, “Here I am!” It’s a great spot to stash your social icons or About Me page.

The rest of Old SkoolBoard is subdued, save for the subtle “lens flare” in the header bar. If you’re looking for something classic blue and minimal, give this theme a whirl.

BONUS: Medieval Book

While this theme is not nearly as versatile as those mentioned above, we had to mention it, since it’s just so darn cool.

If you’re a fan of 12th century illuminated manuscripts (and who isn’t these days, am I right?), you’ve got to check this one out. Heck, I’d start a blog about the Middle Ages just to use this theme.
