Hygge. Admit it; you don’t know how to pronounce it. I didn’t know how to either before I began this two-year journey with Hygge & West, a specialty bedding, and wallpaper retailer, on a Wit & Delight designed line of product. But through the process, I not only learned how to pronounce it, but how to embrace it wholeheartedly.

Living in a climate where we have to embrace life’s cozy moments for half of the year out of survival, I was familiar with the concept of hygge but thought it was honestly more for the time of year when the temperatures dipped below zero. Not true. Hygge is embracing the small moments, no matter what the weather or time of year.

Our partnership with Hygge & West is all about embracing the hygge of the every day; the hydrangeas that bloom in my garden, the delicate ornamentation in a gate, little moments of beauty that I pass by on a daily basis, that I began to notice and embrace once I took the time to slow down.

I’m so proud to have helped guide this line of bedding and wallpaper, inspired by traditional floral and graphic wallpaper motifs. An enormous thank you to Aimee and Christiana, the powerhouse team at Hygge & West for including me in their roster of designers.
