How to organise your rental bathroom without drilling

Think your shared rental bathroom is beyond help? Don’t feel put off. Despite the limitations, there are plenty of ways to add personality. Transform even the dullest space into a stylish oasis in a few simple, affordable and flexible ways - no drills in sight! Work wonders around the sink with suction cups, free-standing storage solutions and self-adhesive mirrors. Here are six renter-friendly updates to get you started.

1. Declutter with free-standing storage solutions

Maximise the space under your sink with an affordable shelf unit that is easy to move around and fits perfectly around the pipes. Hide everyone’s bathroom essentials behind sliding doors in IVÖSJÖN wash-basin for a clean vibe, or display your belongings on open shelves in RÅGRUND or VESKEN corner shelf units for a personal, relaxed look.

2. Don’t underestimate the power of the walls

Messy roommates? Think vertically and make the most out of your cramped shower with suction cup magic. Not only do TISKEN baskets and hooks add that calm, organised feel, but you can also arrange everyone’s shampoo and re-arrange them as you love for a simple yet impactful update to the space!

3. Colour-code your towels

Sharing is caring. But it can be challenging to share a bathroom if everyone uses everyone else’s towel! Assign a colour to each buddy and display them using easy towel racks (no tools are needed). Colour-coding your towels will help your space feel vibrant, fresh and cosy too. Next time you grab a VÅGSJÖN towel, you won’t be accidentally sharing it with someone else.

5. Find trolley tidiness in a forgotten niche

Say good morning to a handy trolley that can be squeezed in almost anywhere, like next to the washing machine. VESKEN trolley can handle a good storage load just as well as a good soak. With such good order, you might even look forward to cleaning. Just roll it where you need it.

6. Discover unused spaces you didn’t know you had

Keep everything nice and tidy with a clever over-the-door hanger. This convinient spot is often overlooked but is the perfect place to hang your bathrobes and bags. Go on! Enjoy some extra bathroom storage with a white BROGRUND hanger. Although not entirely drill-free since it requires minor attachment to the top of your door, at least it’s not visible holes.
