A person's school locker is their own little space away from home. Sure, it comes in a boring metallic gray and looks like a utility room. But if you take the time to personalize it, using these tips you can redecorate it into something that's almost special.

Or go beyond decorating your locker... truly personalize it by giving it a theme! All of the suggestions below for dressing up your locker, can be given a "theme." For example, "Go Hawaiian" by selecting shelf paper in a hibiscus pattern and adding surfer photos to the locker door. Or get "Sporty" with a magnetic mini-baskbetball hoop and pics of your fav athletes and teams. Use your creativity to work these other locker must-haves into your own theme:
Shelf Paper: Use shelf paper to line your locker door and walls (as long as your school approves of this because really, it's their locker). Be sure to use transparent tape that is easy to remove - never use glue! There are plenty of shelf paper designs to choose from that will match your decorating theme or your personality.


Mirrors: It's easy to find magnetic mirrors that are made for lockers. Check out your local store that sells school or office supplies. Locker mirrors come in very handy for between-class hair and makeup checks.


Magnets: Magnets are a great way to decorate your locker, since they're removable. Colorful, funky magnets will brighten your day as you make pit stops between your classes. You can also create your own customized magnet set - just glue personal photos or cutout magazine pics onto store-bought magnets.


Erasable Boards: These are great for leaving yourself reminders, like "Bring math book tomorrow" or "Meet BFF at Starbucks after gym class." Get the kind that comes with dry-erase markers, so you can erase old stuff easily with a cloth.


Photos: This is the ultimate way to personalize your locker. Plastic frames with magnets on the back are an easy way to display snapshots. You also can buy packs of magnets (including ones that suit your locker "theme") and use them to pin up your pics. Whatever your theme, be sure to include pictures of you and your friends (and if you've got one, your boyfriend) so you see them and smile every time you open the door.


Shelving: You can purchase shelves that are designed to fit into lockers. They're a great way to keep your books organized and to not waste that open space.


Pencil Holder: Buy an inexpensive mug that matches your theme, to hold extra pens and pencils. Or, store that stuff in clear, plastic containers with lids that allow you to see what's inside the container without having to open it.


Calender: A magnetic calendar is a good thing to have on the door of your locker. You can use it to post your school schedule, for important events, or both.


Air Freshener: Most lockers get stale-smelling over time, so keep yours fresh with one of those cardboard tree air fresheners you get at the drugstore. Or, keep your favorite body spray in your locker and spritz away as needed. You can even match your smell to your locker "theme", like a spring-fresh scent for a Butterfly Meadow theme, or a baby powder-scented spray for a girly theme.


Magazine Clippings: You can cut pictures out of magazines and post them in your locker. Choose images that go with your theme, or just put up pics of hot celebrity guys to make your days bright.
