Toile wallpaper from Schumacher

Toile wallpaper from Schumacher sets small pastoral or garden scenes in one or two colors on a light ground. It is busier up close than it looks from the doorway, so it rewards a room where you actually sit with the pattern rather than rush past it.

Classic toile is a repeating picture, not a mural, which means the match points matter. Order a memo of the colorway to see whether the ground is truly white, cream, or a tinted neutral in your room.
