Toile Wallpaper by Katie Kime

Katie Kime is known for reinventing the classic toile de Jouy tradition with modern, American city toile wallpaper. Instead of 18th-century French pastoral scenes, Katie Kime toile patterns celebrate the landmarks, culture, and personality of real American cities — from the cowboy boots and cacti of Marfa, Texas to the skyline of Dallas, the live music scene of Austin, the stockyards of Fort Worth, the beaches of Florida, and the ski slopes of mountain resorts.

With over 35 toile wallpaper designs across multiple colorways, Katie Kime offers one of the largest collections of original toile wallpaper from any independent designer. Every pattern is hand-illustrated and available in both traditional paste and peel-and-stick formats. The collection spans classic two-color toile layouts to multi-color modern interpretations, giving you options from traditional to contemporary. Free samples ship for every pattern.

What Is Toile Wallpaper and How to Use It

Toile de Jouy — French for 'cloth of Jouy' — is a decorating style featuring detailed scenic patterns, traditionally printed in a single color on a light background. Katie Kime's modern take on toile keeps the storytelling tradition but replaces European pastoral scenes with American cityscapes, local landmarks, and regional culture. The result is wallpaper that feels both classic and deeply personal.

Toile wallpaper works beautifully as a statement in powder rooms, dining rooms, and entryways — spaces where the detailed illustrations can be appreciated up close. For larger rooms, toile creates an enveloping, collected look when applied to all four walls. Katie Kime city toile prints also make meaningful gifts and are popular for second homes, vacation properties, and spaces that celebrate a specific city or region. Pair toile wallpaper with solid-colored furnishings to let the pattern take center stage.
