25+ Best Full-Screen WordPress Themes for Show-Stopping Site Designs

If you want to make a bold statement with your WordPress site, going full-screen is one of the best ways you can do it. Full-screen themes get up close and personal right away, immersing your readers in a manner that just isn’t possible with boxed layouts. And while full-screen themes are especially suited to photographers and other creatives, they can be used for any niche.

So if you’re looking to add some pop to your website, join me as I dig into the 30 best full-screen WordPress themes.

The 25+ Best Full-Screen WordPress Themes

The full-screen theme factories are booming, so there are a ton of options out there. To avoid making this a list of 500 different themes, I picked a few extra criteria beyond just “being full-screen”:

• Theme rating: Because many of these themes are listed on ThemeForest or other sites with public ratings, I tried to list only themes with a 4.5-star rating or higher. The absolute minimum I accepted was 4-stars.
• Developer rating: I looked at the developer rating as well, ideally looking for Envato Elite Authors with good scores.
• Sales: Not a deciding factor by itself, but I noticed when a theme maintains a good rating over a large number of sales.
• Aesthetics: I believe a good full-screen design should be beautiful, so I tried to pick only themes with great aesthetics. I also tried to pick some themes that covered different uses and layout styles to give some variation.

With that out of the way, here’s my full list of the best full-screen WordPress themes.

1. Mr. Tailor

Mr. Tailor is an absolutely beautiful full-screen offering from Get Bowtied. While it’s focused on WooCommerce, Mr. Tailor also includes a multi-purpose demo for those who aren’t planning to sell products. All of Get Bowtied’s themes feature gorgeous full-screen designs, but Mr. Tailor is my absolute favorite of the bunch.

2. Monstroid

Monstroid is the number one selling theme at TemplateMonster. Amid its bevy of customization options is the ability to create beautiful full-screen parallax designs. Monstroid can also be used to create boxed designs, but the full-screen options are definitely attractive.

3. Uncode

With its impressive 4.9-star rating on over 13,000 sales, Uncode is definitely a well-liked theme. I can certainly see why. Its full-screen demos are absolutely gorgeous. Uncode also includes 30 design concepts and Visual Composer to help you build your site faster.

5. Fullscreen

Fullscreen doesn’t beat around the bush with its name. It offers a unique full-screen image grid perfect for visual creatives. And while Fullscreen likely won’t work for businesses, if you’re a photographer or visual artist you should definitely give it a look.

I like to think that Stockholm is the theme IKEA would create if it were a WordPress developer. Maybe it’s just the name, but I love the minimalist full-screen design.

All of its 40+ concept demos also include suitably Swedish names and the theme ships with Visual Composer and Revolution Slider.

Wrapping Up

Hopefully one of these beautiful themes caught your eye for your next full-screen website. Just remember to always make sure your site still loads quickly if you go with a full-screen theme – I’ve encountered some full-screen designs that take ages to load and glitch when trying to navigate them. I made sure none of those themes made it onto this list, though!

Have you used any of these full-screen WordPress themes? If so, what are your thoughts?
