Making Mustard

You may have already heard (we have mentioned it just a few times on Instagram!) but we’re launching Mustard Made in the US soon. Very, very, very soon. We’re feeling all of the emotions - terrified, nervous, a little confused but also SO excited to be able to get our lockers in the hands of all the lovely Americans out there! The locker is a staple in American culture so Mustard just works, it is something we have known we would do since we started the business, and we feel so lucky that we are able to make it happen already. It’s...

We’d like to introduce you to Mel Boyden… We always love scrolling through Interiors blogger Mel’s Instagram feed. Having recently moved to a beautiful, beachside house, she is documenting the renovation process along the way! If you’re a fan of jewel tones, florals and beautiful textures, you’ll find yourself getting lost in her feed. She also runs an interiors blog, www.melaniejadedesign.com where she branches out from her own home-focussed Instagram content and talks all things interior design: from furniture, DIYS and home hacks, to wallpaper and paint colours. She even did a blog post all about our lockers! *blushing* Mel recently added The Lowdown...

Not to be biased (although we totally are) but our baskets are pretty great. They come in all ten colours of our Mustard rainbow so you can colour co-ordinate them to your lockers, they fit easily underneath, on top or on the shelves. We are always surprised by how much they can hold! Well, that got us thinking - we should put that to the test! Of course we had to have some fun with it, making it colourful and beautiful as always, but how much can our baskets actually hold? Let's find out!    How many balls can fit in...

We are Becca + Jess. We are sisters. We are similar. We look similar (apparently, although we can't see it!) We have lots of the same mannerisms and catchphrases, we pick up on what one another says. We laugh at the same time and at the same things. We have similar tastes. We have goals that are aligned. But... we are also quite different.   Becca (by Jess) Becca is creative, bubbly and caring. Her special power is coming up with ideas and making them happen. We call her the Creative Director but she wears a lot of hats -...

If you have an extra shelf or two that you don't know what to do with, we have the DIY for you! We are going to show you how to turn your extra shelf into a magnetic noticeboard, to keep all of your to-do lists, reminders and happy photos on show. You can colour coordinate it to your locker too, and you know how we love to match our lockers!  Have you taken a shelf out of your locker because you don't use them? Maybe your Skinny is your cleaning cupboard and you need the space for your vacuum, or...

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...

Our make-your-own series is back and this might just be our favourite one yet... This week, we're making this really easy, perfectly sized and super cute daisy mirror!  This little DIY is perfect for those handy hooks on the back of your locker door. Make your mirror, hang it up and when you're getting ready in the morning it will put a smile on your face and make life a little bit easier all at the same time!

Today we are back again for our 'Meet the Expert' series and this week we are talking to the amazing Chloe Hardisty, founder of cult craft brand Cotton Clara. If you haven't been around for Meet the Expert before - hello! In this series of blog posts, we pick the brains of other business owners to learn some more ourselves and share their expertise with you! Whether you have your own business or you're just a big lover and supporter of small businesses (we see you and we appreciate you!) we hope you find some inspiration and some take home nuggets of wisdom! ...

Have you been loving Lilac as much as us? Are you wondering how to incorporate it into your home? Don't worry, we're not going to go and tell you paint your walls purple - although that would be pretty awesome! We had a lot of fun creating three lilac looks to inspire you to incorporate our favourite new shade! If you have been wondering where a Lilac Shorty would work or weren't quite sure how to style it up, hopefully these three looks will get your imagination going! We teamed up with the lovely, colourful Kip & Co, using their...

This week we launched our new, deliciously colourful and delightfully beautiful packs of The Hangers, in 'Summer' and 'Winter'. If you've been struggling to pick just one colour then these are the ones for you! In case you missed it, Summer packs contain Berry, Blush, Lilac, Mustard and White, and Winter contains Navy, Ocean, Olive, Sage and Slate. Of course they come in both adult and kids sizes (because colourful wardrobes are for everyone!) and clip or top hanger style.  With the launch of Lilac we now have 10 colours to make up our Mustard rainbow, so we could not be more excited that...

This week we welcomed Lilac, the newest pretty pastel addition to our colourful Mustard rainbow. Now we have ten colours in our range, meaning that there are so many possible colour and style combinations to choose from - even we can't decide on a favourite!  We're dreaming of a whole wall of Skinnies, or maybe two different Shorties on either side of our desk. The Twinny is the best way to mix and match colours, with so much space for baskets, hangers, maybe even some rainbow shelves!  Seeking colour combo inspiration? Look no further! We've come up with some of...
