Black & White Toile Wallpaper for Kitchens
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.
Wallpaper in kitchens adds personality to a room dominated by hard surfaces. Choose a scrubbable paper and keep it away from direct splashes behind hobs and sinks.
Black and white wallpaper is graphic, timeless and surprisingly easy to style.
Our edit of 14 original designs includes country scene, folly toile, garden toile, grand tour toile, orchard toile, pastoral toile and more. Highlights from the edit include Trevose Pastoral Toile, Coleton Folly Toile, Shugborough Orchard Toile.

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.
- A breakfast nook or dining end of the kitchen is the ideal spot.
- 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 kitchen wall of about 3.0 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 6 drops. With a 53 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 2 rolls – from £88.40 on Standard paper to £145.08 on Luxe. Use the calculator on any product page for your exact walls.
Make it your own
Every design in this edit can be recoloured, rescaled and previewed on a photo of your own wall in Design Your Own, then printed made-to-measure.
