Inspired by vintage, made for modern life
Mustard lockers have a distinctly retro edge, but there's something timeless about them too. When you turn the key and take a look inside, you'll see there's plenty of modern bells and whistles to play with.
With clean lines, bold shapes, big colors and nostalgic materials, every piece of the Mustard family has been lovingly crafted to stand the test of time. While they give a nod to their mid-century roots, these are no retro remake. Let's find out how our lockers are made for modern life.
color
We won't release a new color just because the Barbie movie's turning everything hot pink, or Pantone has named it their color of the year. Every shade in the Mustard rainbow has been handpicked to outlast trends. We spend a long, long time getting our colors just right (seriously, take a peek at the process and you'll see what we mean!) The result is a family of colors that don't belong to a particular era or aesthetic. They'd look as good in 50 years as they would have 50 years ago, and that's no accident.
shape
While we love a wiggly line or a curvy shape, our lockers – and our accessories – are all about those angles. Think clean lines, strong shapes and little details full of personality (hello, medallion keyrings!) That's because these classic silhouettes are made to last, whether arches are in or everyone's loving rounded edges. Versatility is at the heart of everything we do, so our pieces need to seamlessly go from nursery to office to playroom to living room. Keeping their shapes bold and consistent helps make them useful in all kinds of spaces while they lean right into their industrial roots.
mod cons
If you're wondering how many features a locker can really have, hold on to your hat! When Becca was designing the very first Mustard lockers, she took inspiration from a vintage locker she had picked up from the side of the road (she still has that iconic piece all these years later!) She was strangely passionate about the beauty of vintage lockers but saw there was lots of room for improvement! Inside every Mustard locker, you'll find a whole lotta helpful additions like adjustable shelves (so you can rearrange all you like), magnets inside the doors to keep them closed, handy hooks to hang your things on and attachment points so you can secure your locker to the wall. Our original lockers also have cable holes in the back, while our fancy Glass Collection comes with adjustable feet. Clever! It may sound obvious but our lockers also… lock! It's a big part of what makes them so versatile and means there are so many ways to use them throughout their lifespan.
