Making Mustard / Guests + Collaborations

DIY your very own locker labels to help make school mornings a little easier! Using the Cricut Maker 3, we designed and made the perfect labels for your locker. Use this handy DIY to find out how and make your own! 

Take a peek inside Wowhaus, the Mornington home of artist Kate Jansen. If you love colourful interiors and palm springs vibes, you will be swooning over Kate's eye for amazing decor. We recently held our latest Mustard locker launch photoshoot at Kate's home, so we got to style Poppy inside her beautiful home and see how she has styled her own lockers too!

This Pride season, we’re championing some of our favourite Instagram creators who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. If you love to express yourself through colour, sparkle and positivity like us, then we hope you will love supporting this amazing bunch just as much as we do!

We’ve teamed up with Patch to bring you the cutest plant and pot combos to go with our lockers — yay! There’s a plant for every style of locker and a locker for every room in your home. 

When we think about designing a beautiful, fun, playful and functional kids’ room, Minty magazine is our go-to inspo’ guide. As creator, editor and mum of two, Nicole Ray is the woman in the know about all things children’s design and we are so excited that she has shared her top tips for crafting a creative kid’s room.

We have teamed up with the lovely Jess and Lauren from Book Reccos on Instagram to give you some cosy, sitting on the sofa with a box of chocolates (next to your locker of course!) book recommendations for the season of luuuurve. 

Jess and Lauren have used their library of expertise and popped in books to celebrate all kinds of beautiful, diverse love.

We'd like to introduce you to Interiors Blogger Melanie Boyden (@melaniejadedesign on Instagram!). Mel recently added The Lowdown in Olive to her life (her daughter’s choice!) We wanted to get to know her a little better and give you a peek at three different ways she chose to style her new locker in her home. 

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. 

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. Cotton Clara began as a side hustle when Chloe was on maternity leave and has grown into a colourful craft empire with a unique personality. After all the changes that swept across the world in 2020, craft has really become a treasured outlet and source of joy for many of us. Cotton Clara's kits bring out your inner creativity and fill you with the kind of satisfaction you can only get from making something with your own two hands! 

Mustard is really proud of our partnership with Beam. If you haven't heard about them already, Beam is a fantastic charity working to help get people experiencing or at risk of homelessness into stable, paid work. We donate £5 from every single order through our UK site to Beam, so far we have donated a mind-boggling £50,000! We wanted to know more about doing good in business so we chatted with founder Alex.

Last week in our blog we told you all about Wordbits and how our beautiful, colourful magnet collaboration came to be! This week, we are hearing first hand from Annabel and Shanna, founders of Wordbits, about their journey. We got the lowdown on how their practical alphabet magnets came to life.
