Decorating with Books & Magazines I’ve been wanting to write about this topic for ages! Ever since I started working here at Foxy, I’ve been secretly wondering how our Stylists choose their prop books for home staging. Is it based on the title? Or perhaps on the colour of the cover?

Pink – the colour that is commonly deemed as ‘girly & soft’ holds a surprising history.

What we now perceive as the colour of femininity and delicacy used to be the epitome of strong masculinity, less than 300 years ago. Surprised? We were too. Things took a different spin after the WWII thanks to creative branding strategies, cementing pink as the colour for girls. Since then, it has been [...]
