Toile has been a favorite pattern of Europeans for centuries and has enjoyed a rise and fall in popularity in America, until its resounding resurgence in 2000. Since the turn of the century the toile design has made its way into bedrooms across the country.
Of course, the toile pattern was usually seen on on white backgrounds with the pattern itself being free of restrictions. Many baby bedding sets are available in blue on white or pink on white. There are other more neutral colors that can be found on a white or cream background for the nursery. One of the most sophisticated baby sets includes black toile bedding patterns on a cream background, trimmed in black and cream gingham checks. The wide gingham trim offsets the formality of the toile. With a larger toile pastoral pattern evenly spaced across the comforter, the black toile bedding set is fit for a queen, or perhaps the baby princess. Adding a pastel pink for accent can define the room as totally feminine.
With the updated black toile bedding patterns for the more mature bedroom decor, it is fair to say that we no longer feel that we have dared to tread into our grandmother’s bedroom. Black and white have been the mark of modern bedding. Now, with black on off-white or cream the French pattern from the 1600′s has a new and fresh look. Most recently we have seen the rise in combination of patterns. Just as with the crib set combining the basic pattern with gingham, adult bedding is often displayed with a striped bed skirt. In many cases the toile comforter is reversible with a large striped or polka dot under side.
As evidenced by the many displays being shown in magazines or high end retail stores, toile has found a new place in the American home, not in the outdated styles of yesteryear, but with a modern twist that only accentuates the sophistication and elegance of French toile.
