5 Playful Tips for Decorating & Keeping Your Child’s Room Tidy (with a Little Help from Mustard Made!)

Let’s be honest: keeping a nursery or child’s room organised can feel like a never-ending game of hide and seek (with toys in the starring role). But with a sprinkle of creativity, a dash of routine, and the right storage solutions, you can create a space that’s both beautiful and blissfully tidy.

Here are our favourite tips for decorating and organising your little one’s space—featuring the colourful, functional wonders from our Mustard Made collection:


Make Storage the Star of the Show

Kids’ rooms are full of treasures—books, cuddly toys, art supplies, you name it! The trick? Give everything a home. Mustard Made lockers are a game-changer: they’re sturdy, stylish, and come in a rainbow of colours to match any vibe.

Product Spotlight: The Shorty Locker

Perfect as a bedside table or tucked at the end of a cot, The Shorty Locker keeps bedtime books, nightlights, and secret treasures within easy reach—but out of sight for a clutter-free look. Available in cheerful hues like Mustard, Blush, and Ocean.

Zone It Out

Divide the room into ‘zones’—a reading nook, a play area, and a sleep space. This helps little ones know where things belong (and makes tidying up a breeze).

Product Spotlight: The Midi Locker

The Midi Locker is the ultimate all-rounder for toy storage, dress-up clothes, or even craft supplies. Place one in the play corner and another by the reading nook to keep each area organised and inviting.

Think Up, Not Out

Maximise floor space by using vertical storage. Stackable lockers or wall-mounted hooks keep essentials handy but off the ground. Hang up tomorrow’s outfit on a Mustard Made Hanger Rail or pop baskets on top of a Skinny Locker for extra storage.

Product Spotlight: The Skinny Locker

The Skinny Locker is tall and slim, fitting neatly into tight spaces. It’s perfect for storing everything from shoes to puzzles, and its adjustable shelves mean it grows with your child’s needs.


Make It Fun & Flexible

Kids’ needs change fast, so choose storage that grows with them. Today it’s a locker for baby blankets, tomorrow it’s home to art projects and secret diaries. Mustard Made lockers are built to last and easy to reconfigure as your child’s interests evolve.

Product Spotlight: Mustard Made Baskets

Slide Mustard Made Baskets inside your lockers for extra organisation—perfect for socks, small toys, or arts and crafts bits. Plus, they come in coordinating colours for a tidy look that still feels playful.

Make It Their Own: Display Magnets and Decor

Metal cupboards like the Mustard Lockers don’t just keep things tidy, they’re also a blank canvas for creativity! Encourage your child to personalise their locker doors with colourful magnets, artwork, or favourite photos. This not only makes tidying up feel more fun, but also gives kids a sense of ownership over their space. Whether it’s displaying their latest masterpiece or pinning up reminders, the magnetic surface is perfect for showing off what makes them smile.
