Toile comforter, you can dress it up or dress it down

 If you prefer a more elegant look and feel to your home décor, consider a toile comforter in the master bedroom.  Toile simply means cloth in French but its elegance and style has been used for hundreds of years.  A toile comforter will be more formal than most other patterns but you can lighten its appearance with decorative pillows or window coverings.

Most toile comforters and bedding is made up of simply 2 colors.  The background is often white or cream and the patterned designed is traditionally blue, white, black, charcoal or red.  What makes toile fabric so appealing is that it is very soft allowing it to drape nicely.  Also, soft bedding is much nicer on the skin than something that is stiffer.

You can find an excellent selection of toile comforters at online retailers or you can shop in person.  Just a hint, toile fabrics have a busy pattern that repeats throughout.  You will see many curved lines and is often considered a floral.  You can mix and match it well with stripes and plaids.  The beauty about toile bedding is that you can dress it up or dress it down that all depends on your style and taste.
