This white background for PowerPoint is built from many fine, diagonal lines in soft cream, pushed into two opposite corners with a clear band running between them.
Unlike a solid wave shape, this texture reads more like light motion or brushed fiber, made up of dozens of thin parallel streaks.
What This White Background Looks Like
Dozens of fine, straight diagonal streaks fill the upper-left and lower-right corners, each one the same soft cream-beige tone with no color variation between them.
Between the two corners, a wide diagonal band of plain white runs straight through the center of the frame, completely free of texture.
The streaks fade in density as they approach the center, so the transition from textured corner to plain white feels gradual rather than abrupt.
Where This White Background For PowerPoint Fits
Its quiet, minimal texture suits corporate reports, consulting decks, resumes, and any presentation wanting a clean look with just a touch of visual interest.
The wide open diagonal center also makes it dependable for centered titles and text-heavy slides.
Design Choices Behind the Streaked Corners
I built the texture from many fine, parallel diagonal streaks rather than a solid wave shape, so the surface reads as light motion or brushed fiber rather than a flat gradient.
Pushing the streaks into two opposite corners, upper-left and lower-right, leaves a wide, clear diagonal band of plain white running straight through the center.
Keeping every streak the same soft cream-beige tone, with no color variation between them, keeps the texture quiet so it never fights for attention.

Legibility Tip for This White Background
