apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

It looks to me as though the grannyish floral bed linen and random frilly prop dress are intended add some softness to an otherwise edgy scheme.

This post features fantastic examples of metal lockers and shelving used in a super cool MCM interior: http://stylenorth.ca/blog/2008/11/goodwill-hunting-at-home-with-philip/

I'm sorry, but I think this room is hideous! It makes me stressed out just to look at it.

No thanks, this is a gorgeous room and I think the lockers are all wrong.

This room misses the mark a bit, but I do love the idea of using lockers in a home. I have been trying to find and convince my husband to use them in our kitchen. We don't have a pantry and I think they would be a fun way to store pantry items.

jf--like the idea about using lockers for a pantry!

Love the bed in the picture, like the lockers a bit; the pillow cases are all wrong to me. They need to be some Calvin Klein solid or minimalist print to coordinate with the wallpaper.

If you're going to go edgy, keep the edge sharp.

But good job otherwise.

i also love the use of lockers...but when i showed this to my boyfriend he pointed out how these ones look like they belong in the morgue! now that's all i can see when i look at this picture:/

If your boyfriend thinks that looks like the morgue, he knows some VERY short dead people.

Actually, with that dress on the lockers, all I could picture was a big linebacker in drag.

And I LIKED it.

Gorgeous. Why shouldn't you use lockers instead of a wardrobe? It gives the room some edge.

like the lotus wallpaper. might be cute in another colorway.

I think this room is seriously ugly. I've seen lockers used in far better ways, and I think the idea in general is awesome. I like all the different elements of the room, but not put together the way they are.

I think that the pillow cases throw the room off a little bit, but I can totally picture some block printed pillows in a bold repeat pattern.

The room looks like a cell. The lockers are only a partial factor.

GROS! It makes me think about locker room floors and people's discarded hair and warty feet touching those floors. *HEEBIE JEEBIES*

i think this room is an example of too many ideas packed into one space. there's no cohesion.

No comment!

Throw out the furniture/bedding. Otherwise, that room is gorgeous.

So what exactly would one store in these? Shoes on end? Socks? Narrowly folded towels? I like the way they look (NOT in that room), but I'm at a loss how the shallow depth of a locker would work for storing clothes.

Would be brilliant in a kitchen, though.

I love this room. I think it's gorgeous. Maybe new pillow cases, but love the chandeliers with the lockers. great!

It looks nice enough in the photo and matches all the silver in the room but I think I would grow tired of it in 2 hours. It's good if you have a lot of regular lovers or guests and want to assign each their own locker. Otherwise, I really don't see the point of having lockers in your bedroom.
