The fabric was originally made in a town near Paris called Jouy-en-Josas, but is now made by every major fabric house and wallpaper printer in the world.  It has especially enjoyed a resurgence in home decorating in recent years with the popularity of French Country decor.

Toile looks great when paired with checks or stripes or both!  A room with toile wallpaper and toile window treatments and bedding makes an especially appealing sight.  Trim the curtains and bedding with a bias stripe and furnish the room with distressed painted white furniture and voila, you have a beautiful French Country room!  For a more formal look, pair the fabric with cherry furniture and use linen toile with fine linen stripes and checks.  Accessorize with antiques!
