Hygge & West

What Hygge & West does

Hygge & West is a privately held, US-based boutique wallpaper and home goods company founded in 2008 and operated by Propitious Jackson Inc. The company designs and sells contemporary and modern wallpaper patterns in three material formats — traditional hand screen-printed, pre-pasted (GREENGUARD Gold certified, Class A fire-rated), and peel-and-stick — alongside a complementary line of designer shower curtains, a home design book, and e-gift cards. Its product catalog of 50+ patterns is developed through collaborations with 25+ independent artists, designers, illustrators, and brand partners including Universal (licensed film themes), Pattern People, Julia Rothman, Nathalie Lete, Ingrid Fetell Lee, Heath Ceramics, Schoolhouse, and Coral & Tusk. Wallpapers are manufactured in the USA and priced between $125 and $425 per double roll; shower curtains retail from $35 to $95.

The business is built on a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model operated on Shopify, supported by a wallpaper calculator tool, an installation resource library, and a content-driven blog ('Pattern Stories'). Distribution extends globally via UPS shipping, and a dedicated trade program serves interior designers, architects, contractors, and installers with a 20% discount, free samples, and priority access to new collections — giving the company a parallel B2B specification channel into residential and commercial/hospitality projects. Named commercial deployments include MIXT Restaurant (San Francisco), The Bungalow Club (Minneapolis), and the Purewow Recording Studio (Queens), and interior design case studies feature Kate Marker Interiors, Elizabeth Hay Design, and Max Humphrey.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional ownership. Customer acquisition is driven by organic social (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest), the company blog, email newsletter, and a user-generated customer gallery, with no third-party marketplace or wholesale distribution indicated. Certifications include GREENGUARD Gold (pre-pasted line) and Class A fire-rating (traditional and pre-pasted lines).
