How to Style: Ocean

April 26, 2023

Ocean is a soft, calming blue with subtle, moody grey undertones.

It's one of those soothing colors that makes you feel relaxed and calms the buzz in your brain. It's quiet and peaceful. Our Ocean is an all-rounder shade that looks good anywhere.

We wanted it to be a color that worked for all ages... now that may sound easy but trust us, it wasn't! Our lockers are here for the long haul, so we needed a blue soft enough for a baby, cool enough for a teenager and beautiful enough to take when you move out of home!

So nailing our blue was kind of a big deal. We feel like we got Ocean just right. It's a color that seems to change in different spaces, like the ocean itself!

"Think of an ocean on a cloudy day! It's a super versatile blue that works wonderfully for all ages." — Becca

Here are some of our favorite ways to style an Ocean locker in your space.

coastal calm

Who doesn't love a calm, neutral space that brings the coastal vibes indoors? We're all about that peaceful, by-the-seaside feel, and Ocean and White (with a pop of Navy!) is the perfect combo to bring it to life. Add light-colored neutrals and natural materials like rattan or pale timbers to your space alongside your Ocean locker, and you'll have the perfect coastal vibe. Picture yourself strolling along the shoreline, sand between your toes — that's the energy this color combo brings.

pretty pastels

Create a whimsical, sorbet-inspired space with our collection of pastel colors! If you want to make Ocean the shining star of your pastel dreamscape, look no further than a collection of pastel accessories! Incorporating pastel hues from a rug to light fixtures or bed linen can help bring your dreamy space together. If you want to add pastel vibes to a more neutral-styled room, pair your Ocean locker with some gorgeous pastel wall prints for a subtle yet stylish touch. You could also pick The Baskets in our pastel colors to help you organize or The Hangers to brighten your wardrobe. They might just be the little pastel pop you need!

land + sea

Bring the outside in by combining Ocean with our other nature-inspired colors Navy, Olive, Sage and Slate. Try creating this look by pairing an Ocean locker with an Olive green shade on your walls. Next, add some natural fabrics and earthy textures, like a cozy jute rug or beautiful timber accessories, into the space. And remember to add some greenery! A few indoor plants will help tie everything together and create the perfect balance of land and sea. Altogether these make a very earthy atmosphere!
