5. Industrial Metal Locker Cupboard for the Entryway

Vintage metal lockers or industrial school cupboards are incredibly trendy. They are indestructible, narrow, and provide the perfect “drop zone” for a busy entryway.

How to Make

Find a vintage metal locker or a multi-door industrial cabinet. Clean the metal and, if it has rust, seal it with a clear matte spray to celebrate the patina. Use each compartment for a specific family member—shoes, bags, and umbrellas. The cool, utilitarian look of the metal is a brilliant contrast to a softer, more traditional interior.

Things Needed

  • Vintage industrial lockers
  • Clear matte spray sealer
  • Cleaning supplies for metal
  • Entryway accessories (baskets)
