How to organise your bathroom without drilling any holes

Feeling like there's no hope for your flat's shared bathroom? Don’t give up. There are limits, of course, but there are still easy ways to add personality and style — without drilling or undertaking major works. Here are six easy, non-permanent ways to create a more organised and functional bathroom.

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 each flatmate a colour and keep towels in plain sight using simple towel holders — no drilling required! 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.

4. Give everything you own a happy home

Choose your favourite from a wide range of smart storage solutions to suit all budgets: from simple hooks and small baskets to trolleys and bamboo shelving. Less mess, more flow.

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

Making use of the door by adding a practical hook for hanging bathrobes and bags. The white BROGRUND hook adds storage space with no visible holes as you only need minimal wall fixings and in the upper section.
