Black & White Toile Wallpaper for Bedrooms
Toile de Jouy took its name from the French village where printed cottons with pastoral scenes were produced in the 1700s. Single-colour vignettes give rooms a gentle, storybook rhythm.
Bedrooms are the perfect place to experiment because they are private and lived in mostly at night. A papered wall behind the bed acts like an oversized headboard.
Black and white wallpaper is graphic, timeless and surprisingly easy to style.

Styling tips
- Match the toile ink colour to a stripe or check on cushions and curtains – the classic 'toile and ticking' pairing never fails.
- Add one accent colour – yellow, green or red – for a contemporary edge.
- Calming palettes and organic patterns help bedrooms feel restful.
- Because toile is monochrome, it is easy to live with in bedrooms and kitchens and works on all four walls.
How much will I need?
A typical bedroom wall of about 3.6 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 7 drops. With a 53 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 3 rolls – from £132.60 on Standard paper to £217.62 on Luxe. Use the calculator on any product page for your exact walls.
