We ask the experts so you don't have to! This week, we interviewed Jean Egbunike, who knows a thing or two about PR. Jean is passionate about shining a spotlight on brands in the interiors, food + beverage and lifestyle space. Through her agency JE Communications, Jean has been delivering results for boutique brands for over 15 years. At the beginning of Mustard, PR was a bit of a mystery to us. We wanted to get our lockers seen by as many people as possible, but how? That's when Jean came into our lives and she may even be the reason you're reading...
There is nothing we love more than seeing lockers out there in the world and finding out how people use them in their own homes. When we saw The Lowdown in Blush pop up on the Instagram feed of Martha Brook London, it made our hearts so happy! Martha Brook are creators of beautiful stationery, desk accessories and gifts. They also so happen to love Blush as much as we do and if you love to colour co-ordinate like us (who doesn't?!) their stationery matches our lockers beautifully. Martha is the founder and the proud owner of the Lowdown in Blush in her newly...

We'd like to introduce you to Natalie Jeffcott... There's something so magical about walking into a person's home and feeling like you're being told a story with every detail. It seems that Interior Photographer Natalie Jeffcott has picked up inspiration throughout her life, from all the homes she's walked into with her camera and created a captivating home for her family. We take a look at how The Skinny in Blush has been styled in three different ways in three different rooms. Tell us a little about you… I’m a Melbourne based freelance photographer and live with my partner Nick, teenage son Arthur and 2...
We'd like to introduce you to Kate Jansen... Wow is definitely the word that comes to mind when we scroll Kate Jansen's instagram feed so it's no surprise she named her business @wowhaus.au. Her imaginative home is quite literally the dictionary definition of 'colour pop', exploding with curious collections and playfully blending old and new, seamlessly mixing beach vibes with a distinctly British flavour. Kate's sunny family home is in the Mornington Peninsular, not far from Melbourne if you're not a local! But the family moved from England five years ago, so there's signs of their travels wherever you look. As an Artist, Kate brings colour to...
We'd like to introduce you to Kate... It's official, Lockers + Plants is a thing. With more of us bringing greenery into our homes, the need for leafy inspiration has us hooked on Kate from @tribeandus's instagram feed. One scroll and you'll understand exactly why. With a thoughtful mix of vintage pieces, natural textures, very cute kids and a variety of plants so big it should probably be classified as a nature reserve, we thought there was only one more thing Kate needed, a Shorty! Tell us a little about you… Hey, we are Tribe and Us a plant loving family of...
We'd like to introduce you to Kim... It has to be said that one of the most notable things about @kimgrayza is that she's the mama of triplets + a big brother. Raising four kids, with three being baby humans all at once, really is pretty damn incredible. But, being a mum isn't by any means the whole story of who Kim is. We've been following Kim on Instagram for a while + admiring her neutral, minimalist home, laid back style and is on a gentle mission to live more sustainably. We challenged Kim to style her Shorty in Mustard in three ways throughout her...
I'm Miriam, a colour consultant by trade, colour lover at heart. I'm back with Colour Class no. 2 with some options of how to style colour with the newly released Berry range of lockers. If you read the 1st colour class blog (read here) we styled the new Ocean locker with inspiration from the earthy and calm ‘Repair’ colour palette from Dulux's 2019 colour forecast.
