Toile
is a type of decorating pattern, consisting of a white or
off-white background on which a repeated pattern depicting a
fairly complex scene, generally of a pastoral theme such as (for
example) a couple having a picnic by a lake. The pattern portion
consists of a single colour, most often black, dark red, or blue.
Greens and magenta toile patterns are less common but not unheard
of. Toile is most associated with fabrics (curtains and
upholstery in particular), though toile wallpaper is also
popular.
