Lap of Luxury is a stylish two-column WordPress blogging theme with a bit of bling courtesy of its gold logo.
I’m not a fan of the spotty background, which makes reading a little harder than it should be, but it would be extremely simple to change the background to a flat colour, which would make the text very legible.
The right-hand sidebar allows for an ad at the top, with two columns of navigation below that.
The headlines are big and eye-catching, and the theme works very well with large photos used to accompany each post.

Journic is a stunning two-column blog theme with gorgeous typography and excellent use of white space that will make viewing your blog content a pleasure.
The theme includes a built-in settings page within the WordPress admin interface, including advertising and subscription management.
The theme is very flexible thanks to its wide implementation of widgets.
The colourful brush-stroke background is eye-catching but won’t apply to all uses of the design; luckily, it’s relatively simple to remove or replace the background image.
