Toile has long been considered a highly formal fabric, thought to grace only the most elegant estates. But don’t let that prevent you from investigating J&O Fabrics’ selection of high quality toile. Our designer toile fabrics come in cotton novelty and decorative weights. In this blog we are going to focus on decorative weight toile fabric.
Most toile fabric is only in two colors which lends the fabric a timeless quality. In fact, most scenes depicted on toile fabrics are meant to tell stories from olden times: from peasants working the fields to heroes of bygone days. A fine example of our historical toile fabric is Coy Shepherdess (toi00024). Her demure look will enchant your guests and breathe life into your home.
In recent years it has been seen that toile can be used in a more casual context. Our toile can be used, for instance, to make bed sheets, garments, lampshades, pillows, purses, robes, scarves and slippers. A wonderful toile for these uses would be Giardino di oblivion (toi00015). This limpid, breezy toile is the perfect fabric for all of your craft and decorative projects.
Toile is also nicely suited to decorating kitchens and large rooms. Light-colored toile can make even a small room seem larger; the gossamer appearance of Abandoned Village: Moss (toi00021) will achieve this effect. On the other hand, darker prints harmonize wonderfully with antiques and add substance to the decor of a room; Canton Garden: Wine (ord00001) is such a print.

Our toile decorator fabric also makes a wonderful companion to shabby chic rooms, importing a sense of age and grace difficult to achieve by most other means. Central Park Toile Lime (toi00052) is the perfect fabric for such casual decorating.
Browse our Toile Decorative fabric section and let your eyes and imagination roam. Our staff will be happy to show you how easy it is to decorate with the effortless elegance of toile fabric.*
