Lockers for life: how one locker can last a lifetime

September 07, 2023

When we say Mustard lockers are built to last, we aren't kidding. We design our products to be super versatile because we want them to be the complete opposite of single-use!

The way we think about it is that we'd like our lockers to look as good in 50 years as they do today and also, that they wouldn't have been out of place 50 years ago either! Time-travelling lockers anyone? We got you. We truly believe lockers are for all stages of life.

Longevity may not be the coolest word, but it's one we think about a lot. While we like our shipping fast, we try not to rush anything else about Mustard. Our designs are timeless, our colours are seasonless and our decisions are considered. To prove it, we thought we'd bring you on a little trip with us. Meet The Midi in Ocean. Come along for the ride as we take you through her entire life cycle.

 

An Ocean Midi sits next to a rattan bassinet in a blue-themed nursery. There is a tufted wall hanging and a collection of Ocean blue accessories.

a star is born

The Midi is right at home in a nursery, keeping all those baby bits neatly tucked away. For a tiny human, babies attract a lot of stuff! From nappies to teensy onesies, to blankets and booties and that white noise machine you used once and gave up on, it all fits inside the Midi's pretty doors. Fun fact: we designed the colour Ocean with nurseries in mind! But we wanted it to be a colour that worked in other spaces just as well, so we gave her a subtly grey base for a softly moody, stormy pale blue.

 

An Ocean Midi sits against a navy and white striped wall. One of the locker doors is open, displaying a collection of child's toys including a doll, fire truck and books.

serious playtime

Just because you've packed the bottles and the dummies away doesn't mean you've got more space. Nope. If you thought babies came with lots of additions, just wait till you see how many toys one child can accumulate! The Midi is the perfect playmate, with its surprisingly generous storage space, fun colours, and adjustable shelves. Stash your toys inside in The Baskets to keep them sorted, and let your imagination run wild with Wordbits on the outside.

 

An Ocean Midi is styled in a teenager's bedroom with matching Ocean coloured walls. There is a TV mounted above it and lego shelving on the walls.

teenage dream

The teen years are all about change, but The Midi is only too happy to keep up! Teenagers love to express themselves, and the Mustard rainbow lets them do just that. There are no boring options here! With its lockable doors, The Midi's got your back and can keep your secret diary tucked away inside. For a quick tidy-up job, pop all your mess inside, shut the doors and voila!

Fun fact: this is our co-founder Becca's teenage son's room. Yes, his room was painted to match his locker of course!

 

In a home office setup, an Ocean Midi is styled next to a desk with a Navy Shorty underneath it. There is a tonal artwork on the wall and a vase of blue flowers on top of the locker.

working on it

Moved out of home or scored your first job? We may be biased, but we think Mustard is some of the only flat-pack furniture you'll actually want to hang on to. Designed with flexibility in mind, you can move it from room to room and make it work for you. Styled up with some tonal accessories, the Midi works beautifully as a console that's as practical as it is pretty. And with their range of shapes and sizes, there's a Mustard locker for every nook and cranny.

 

A dining room area is styled with blue candles and flowers on a wooden table. There is a trio of Midis against the wall in an ombre pattern of White, Ocean and Navy.

all glowed up

As you grow up, The Midi only glows up with you! Fair warning: lockers are highly addictive, so there's a good chance that by now, you'll have collected another one or three. Bank them up side-by-side to create a dining space with major impact. A trio of ombre Midis is a look we'll never tire of. Before you know it, your whole house will be looking Mustard!

Our lockers are made of sturdy powder-coated steel, so they're designed to last. Which is lucky, because lockers are a lifetime love affair.
