Hygge & West bedding
Hygge & West's popular wallpaper patterns now can cover more than walls. The Minneapolis company has introduced the birds-in-clouds "Daydream," along with four other designs, for a new line of bedding. The collaboration with local Wit & Delight created "Hydrangea," "Arabesque," "Margot" and "Topiary" patterns in two color palettes. The duvet and sham sets, made of 100 percent organic cotton, range from $175 for twin to $245 for king, and are available at hyggeandwest.com.
