Top 5 Toile de Jouy Wallpaper Designs
We love Toile de Jouy prints because of their versatility. They can easily complement so many different design styles. Toile de Jouy can look traditional or edgy, depending on how you style it. One thing is for sure, Toile de Jouy prints always have something to say. Here are five of our favorite toile wallpaper designs that are sure to make an impression.
Flavor Paper - Brooklyn Toile
Mike Diamond of the Beastie Boys decided he wanted a Brooklyn inspired toile wallpaper that would line the walls of his BK brownstone. The vision was to pay tribute to all things Brooklyn in a way that would appear to be a traditional French Country Toile, but when you step to it the pattern reveals elements and vignettes that make up the truth about the borough.
Katie Kime - Marfa Toile
The Marfa toile print was inspired by its namesake city in Texas, with its vast landscape, wild cacti, starry skies, and magical land art. This cowboy classic is one of the brand’s best-sellers. All Katie Kime wallpaper is printed on-demand and in-house with eco-friendly inks.
Sheila Bridges - Harlem Toile
As an African American living in Harlem, Bridges says she has always been intrigued and inspired by the historical narrative of the decorative arts, especially traditional French toile with its pastoral motifs from the late 1700s. Her Harlem Toile wallpaper (which lampoons some of the stereotypes deeply woven into the African American experience), has been featured in The Studio Museum In Harlem, The Cooper Hewitt Museum, The Museum of Art and Design in New York City and the Musée De La Toile De Jouy in France.
Bridges says, “I was very specific about the scenes that I chose… I wanted to explore these stereotypes and their exploitive associations, but at the same time, I wanted the Toile to feel celebratory.”
Hughes Studio - Gardener's Harvest Toile de Jouy
Designed during the quarantine months of 2020, this print was inspired by our desire to reconnect with nature, even if its just in the backyard. With images of flowers, fruits and vegetables, the print also symbolizes growth and renewal.
Serena & Lilly - Seahaven Toile Wallpaper
For their take on classic toile, Serena & Lilly left the countryside and hit the coast. From the palm trees to the beaches, this print is an ode to California and life by the sea. The Seahaven design is wonderfully versatile with beautiful, detailed illustrations.
