Dark & Moody Toile Wallpaper for Dining Rooms
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.
Dining rooms come alive by lamplight, which is why rich, dark or highly decorative wallpapers excel here. Consider papering all four walls for an enveloping, intimate mood.
Dark and moody wallpaper makes rooms feel cocooning and dramatic, and paradoxically can make small rooms feel larger as the corners recede.
Our edit of 30 original designs includes country scene, folly toile, garden toile, pastoral toile, riverside toile, village toile. Highlights from the edit include Flaxton Garden Toile, Dacre Garden Toile, Seymour Village 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.
- Use warm lamps rather than overhead light to make dark walls glow.
- Dark grounds hide marks and make candlelight glow.
- 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 dining room wall of about 4.0 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 8 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.
