A child kneels in front of a colourful activity zone filled with tubs and trays of toys. There is a Mustard Twinny behind them covered in kids art and magnets, and the wall is decorated with bold, bright geometric shapes.

Styled by you: kid's edition

August 10, 2023

There's one thing that we just never get tired of. Ok, there's two. One is obviously the 3pm chocolate break. The other? Seeing how you style your lockers, out there in the wild.

Like street style is for fashion, lockers styled by you are cool, clever, surprising and totally original. We love the way Mustard customers make our lockers their own, with bold colour combinations and unique accessories that make them sing.

When it comes to styling, nothing says fun quite like kid's bedrooms. Here are some of our favourite kid's lockers, styled by you!

 

Lowdown and behold

Move over, toy chest. The Lowdown has got this all locked up!

 

A Lilac Lowdown sits in a brightly coloured kids room next to a bed dressed in bright, patterned linen. There is a rainbow ice cream sticker on the locker.

Sarah | @kipandco and @whatwouldsarahdo

The only thing better than a rainbow is a rainbow ice cream. This tutti-frutti room has both (not to mention Miffy AND Hello Kitty!) What more could you dream of? Well, bedlinen by @kipandco (tick) and a Lilac Lowdown to keep your treasures in (tick.) Love!

 

A kids room with a pitched roof features a mint green bed and a Mustard Lowdown. There are streamers of bunting strung up and a poster reads 'I can be anything I want to be.'

Jen | @jens_den09

This bedroom-meets-playroom gives us some pretty delightful fairground vibes with the bunting, candy stripes and joyful colours. What better than a Mustard Lowdown to make you want to roll up, roll up to this sweet spot by @jens_den09?

 

A Slate Lowdown sits in a corner next to a grey velvet armchair. Behind it there is a gallery wall displaying vintage style sports items such as wooden racquets and team flags.

Amanda | @floraandfont

Our lockers have a touch of vintage style, and @floraandfont knows just how to bring it out! We love this muted palette for a calming, cosy corner featuring The Lowdown in Slate. What could make a locker feel more at home than this collection of sporting paraphernalia?

 

The Midi with the mostest

The Midi loves to make a statement while hiding a mess. The perfect combo for a kid's room!

 

An Ocean Midi is nestled in a kids room next to a loft bed with an arrangement of beanbags and cushions below it. There is a sign reading 'wild child' on the locker and Wordbits magnets spell out CLOTHES.

Leia | @henry.andhome

When we say lockers are for all ages, we aren't kidding (did you get that? Sorry.) An Ocean Midi is the perfect companion for this wonderland of a bedroom that will grow with @henry.andhome for years to come. Even when Henry can reach the top bunk all by himself!

 

A Sage Midi sits in a child's room underneath lettering that reads 'where the cool kids play.' There is a fabric world map on the wall and soft furnishings in neutral earthy shades.

Briony | @briony.kasper.quinn

No need to throw the locker out with the baby clothes. The Midi makes the ideal storage for bigger kids too — like this Sage Midi that @briony.kasper.quinn uses for keeping cool kid's playthings all neat and tidy!

 

A bed is built-in to the corner of a small room with white walls and red skirting boards. There is an Olive Midi next to the bed and a brown and white checkered rug on the floor, with pops of red throughout the room.

Megan | @meganellaby

We are big fans of this Olive moment styled by @meganellaby! When you think of kid's rooms, you might think of pastels or brights. But this unexpected pairing of Olive and Poppy is so cheerful and classic, we're obsessed.

 

Shortys for your shorties

Little people love little things. Say hello to The Shorty, your bedside (and beyond) bestie!

 

A rose gold single bed with a blush canopy sits in a soft pink and cream room. There are fairy lights wrapped around the bedhead and a Berry Shorty is arranged next to a cane chair in the shape of a flower.

Coral | @velveteen_babies

We don't know what @velveteen_babies did to create such a beautiful space, but if you told us there was magic involved we'd believe you. From the pink and gold palette to the pop of colour thanks to a Berry Shorty, this is the stuff sweet dreams are made of.

 

An Ocean Shorty sits next to the bed in a room painted vivid apple green and white. The bedding combines navy gingham with bright green patterns and a whimsical pear cushion, and there is a dog on the bed.

Kate | @wowhaus.au

Big kids love the fact that our lockers are lockable — perfect for keeping precious things inside! This room styled by @wowhaus.au is the perfect coastal backdrop for an Ocean Shorty to shine. Although, the scene is just about stolen by a certain adorable scruffy face!

 

Soft light filters through sheer curtains to a room with two single wooden beds dressed in soft, earthy shades of terracotta and lilac. Between them sits a pairing of Shortys in Olive amd Blush and there is a string of bunting on the ceiling.

Raffaela | @raffaela.sofia

Twice as nice! Two Shortys make for a twin room that's pretty and practical. We love @raffaela.sofia's choice of two-toned Shortys for an unexpected pairing that's warm and inviting, but timeless as ever. Olive and Blush are a match made in heaven.

 

too cute Twinnys

For the maximalists among us, The Twinny gives you all the storage you could ask for (and a burst of colour too!)

 

Samantha | @by.samscott

When we say you can really make lockers your own, this is what we mean! @by.samscott's Mustard Twinny is cute and colourful all dressed up in the things that make it feel personal. What could be more inspiring than playtime in this bold and bright room?

 

An Olive Twinny has the word CHAOS stuck in large letters to its side. Beside it there is a small wooden climbing gym and a childs bed with a gingham canopy. Trailing plants hang down from the top of the Twinny.

Nicci | @home.with.nicci

Don't let the soft, earthy colour palette fool you. @home.with.nicci knows life with kids is kind of chaos! And we wouldn't have it any other way. Keep all the chaos contained with an Olive Midi made to help you tidy up.

 

A Berry Twinny and a Blush Skinny sit side-by-side at the foot of a bed. Wordbits magnets spell out 'get dressed' on the front and colourful baskets sit on top.

Laura | @lauracoledesign

Fun, educational, practical and pretty? @lauracoledesign has it all going on with this pairing of Twinny and Skinny that's a big winny in our books. The addition of Wordbits to personalise and prioritise takes this cute pairing to new heights. Everyone needs a reminder to get dressed, please!

 

the scoop on The Skinny

When you don't have much floorspace, The Skinny gives you storage bang for your buck.

 

In a white room, a Blush Skinny sits between a bed with floral bedding and a dresser topped with small wooden toys. There are softly coloured cushions scattered around the floor and trinkets arranged on a hanging shelf.

Daphny | @daphnyklaas

A pretty pop of colour makes this Blush Skinny a standout in @daphnyklaas' treasure trove of a room. We love the sprinkling of earthy colours with different textures to create a room that's so inviting, we might just invite ourselves around!

 

A White Skinny sits in the corner of a neutral-toned room with accents in shades of brown. There is a taupe arch painted on the wall with a white palm tree sketch, and a wooden table and chairs arranged around some toys.

Chloe | @raisingyoungones

Feeling overstimulated? Take a (palm) leaf out of @raisingyoungones' book and go for soothing, calming neutrals. A White Skinny looks right at home in this cute little nook, just perfect for a crafternoon.

 

In a retro-inspired room, three Skinnys in Slate, Mustard and Olive sit flush into a nook next to an ornate Victorian fireplace. There is a vintage red metal toy car on top, and an open suitcase full of colourful books on the floor.

Lisa | @bornandbredstudio

Nothing says 'vintage school locker' quite like a trio of Skinnys all dressed up to play. Pairing colourful accessories and toys in metal finishes ties this gorgeous @bornandbredstudio spot together for a classic kids room that we reckon grown-ups will love just as much!
