Kids have always hung photos, mirrors or handmade decorations in their school lockers. [...] retailers are giving them the option of buying coordinated locker trimmings that would make interior designers jealous. Options include carpeting, chandeliers, wallpaper and a variety of accessories in bold, bright colors. Paul Buckel got the idea to create magnetic wallpaper when his daughter's friend got in trouble for covering her locker with contact paper. Buckel, who runs a company, Magna Card, in DuBois, Pa., that makes magnetic business cards and other promotional products, saw locker decorations as an exciting new merchandise line. Boutique owner Dee Tipps says she "started jumping up and down" when locker decorations caught her eye. The organizational products are great for kids, said Clapper, the school counselor, who tries to teach students that an organized locker can contribute to academic success.
