What Styles Welcome Lockers?
A locker can be part of a mid-century modern, contemporary, Scandinavian, industrial, vintage and farmhouse interiors, though, depending on the look, you may incorporate it into almost any space.
How To Renovate A Locker?
A locker doesn’t have to be a shabby chic metal piece, you can renovate it and give it a new look or even change the function. You may go for various colors that will match your interior: green, blush, yellow, mustard, navy and others, you may cheer up the space with a bright or neon locker, you may stencil it or decorate in any other way. If you place a locker in a kids’ space, your children will decorate it even better – with magnets, photos or chalking. You can also change the function of your locker removing some parts and making storage compartments open, it can be a nice bookcase or just a storage unit to display some stuff. A locker can be even used as a plant stand, just open or remove the doors. Use it as a nightstand, a dresser, a wardrobe or any other piece that you need, it’s super functional.
