WordPress is the most popular and easy to use blogging platform that offers various themes to design your website.

If you’re a blogger and you feel like your website is missing something, the answer is simple.

Most likely, the theme you’re using doesn’t fit with your content.

Although many WordPress themes are visually appealing, you have to choose the right one for your niche and the audience you aim to draw in.

Get ready to decide which of these top free WordPress themes will be your blog’s saving grace.

1. Neve

Neve is great for any and all of your website needs. A blog, small business, startup, agency, e-commerce shop, even a personal portfolio, whichever you are, this theme will do the work for you.

You can customize it with ease through its minimalist design made with SEO in mind. That means it can assist you in your goals of ranking in top Google search results.

Some additional features are its:

fast loading time
viewer-friendly adaptability,
popular page builders capability
the Gutenberg block editor

You might be asking, “Well, what else does it do?” but instead you should be asking, “What doesn’t it do?” With this blog, the features seem endless.

The 100,000+ installations speak for the quality of this theme.

2. Ashe

Invite your readers to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary with this tasteful design, full of dainty fonts and unparalleled organization.

This theme is what we would call a hard worker as it is perfect for a multitude of uses including:

lifestyle

Yet the list still goes on and on!

The layout is minimal, but it provides a sophisticated look that is mobile-friendly.

Some of its useful features are:

4. Natural Lite

As you may have guessed from the name of this theme, it is a great choice for the outdoors type. If you make natural products, live a green lifestyle, garden, or hike, you can find your place within this theme.

It provides readers with a strong feeling of nature at first glance by using earthy tones and a natural design.

6. Kale

If food is your forte, then this theme is for you!

This minimalistic theme provides unparalleled design for those who blog about health, cuisine, and organic lifestyles.

This organized, precise design will make blogging simple for you and easy to navigate for your readers.

Unlike other themes, this one has a special front page that shows featured posts along with one large highlight post. This means you can show off the mouthwatering recipes you have been cooking up.

I’ll save you the long drawn out version of the features since I know when food is on my brain, I don’t want to focus on anything else.

So, just know that it has a lot.

And when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it even has one-on-one support and a whole team of developers and designers who are there to help.

There’s no question why there are over 10,000 active installations.

7. Storefront

While many of the other themes had WooCommerce integration capabilities, none of them were tailored directly to a business owner.

And we know many bloggers run their own business alongside it.

If you’ve hoped for a theme to ramp up your e-commerce business to the next level, you’ve finally reached your destination.

Storefront was designed and developed directly by WooCommerce Core developers, so it includes WooCommerce integration along with many popular extensions.

Not to mention it is:

customizable
responsive design-works with different devices

This all means there should be little surprise when I say the active installations are over 200,000.

Well, you’ve officially made it through seven of the top-rated free WordPress themes for bloggers.

There are thousands of WordPress themes out there, but hopefully, this list helps you narrow down your options.

Whichever one you choose, all of these themes will improve your blog and give it the individual style you’ve always desired.

While premium themes are impressive, these free themes give them a run for their money. These themes are just as magical and amazing!

Although this was only a fraction of the WordPress themes available, we hope you were inspired to give one a try.
