If you know the theme’s name, you can simply search for it by typing its name in the Search box.
You can use the Feature Filter. For example, if you search for a Black and White, One column WordPress theme with custom colors, just check those tags and click the “Apply Filters” button.
Now, it will show all WordPress themes that match your search. Each theme has two options: See Demo and Install. All you need to do now is to choose a theme you want to use and install it by clicking the blue “Install” button.
Your WordPress application will download and install the theme for you. Now, click the Activate link on the page you are redirected to.

If you already have a WordPress theme on your hard drive, just upload the theme to your site and install it.
First, click on the Upload link at the top of the page.
Next, click on the “Choose File” button, select the archive of your WordPress theme from your local computer and click on the “Install Now” button.
