Small rental bathrooms are tricky. There is never enough storage, the counter is tiny, and your lease probably says no holes in the tile. The good news is that you can get a lot more space without a single drill or nail, and take everything with you when you move out.
Here are 9 no drill bathroom storage ideas renters love, from stick on shower shelves to slim carts that slide into the gap next to the toilet.

Short on time? Our quick picks
- Easiest win: Stick on shower shelves see it on Amazon
- Best for under the sink: A two tier organizer under the sink see it on Amazon
- Most storage: Over the toilet storage rack see it on Amazon
1. Stick on shower shelves
Adhesive shower shelves are the easiest win in any rental bathroom. They stick to smooth tile with strong waterproof pads, hold shampoo, body wash and razors, and come off cleanly when your lease ends. Clean the tile with rubbing alcohol and let the pads set for a full day before loading them up.
2. A tension pole shower caddy for the corner
If your shower has an empty corner, a tension pole caddy turns it into floor to ceiling storage. The pole presses between the tub and the ceiling, so there is nothing to screw in. It is great for families or roommates who share one shower.
3. Over the toilet storage rack
The wall above the toilet is the most wasted space in most small bathrooms. A freestanding rack fits right over the tank and gives you several shelves for towels, toilet paper and baskets, with no wall anchors needed.
4. Over the door hooks for towels and robes
No towel bar? No problem. Over the door hooks slip on top of the bathroom door and give you a spot for bath towels, robes and tomorrow's outfit. They also free up the back of the door that usually goes unused.
5. Waterproof adhesive hooks
Small adhesive hooks are perfect for loofahs, hand towels, hair tools and even a small basket. Put a few inside the shower and a few next to the mirror. They work best on smooth surfaces like tile, glass and painted cabinets.
6. A two tier organizer under the sink
The cabinet under the bathroom sink usually becomes a pile of bottles. A two tier organizer doubles the usable space and works around the pipes. Keep cleaning supplies on the bottom and extra toiletries on top.
7. A slim rolling cart for the gap
Most bathrooms have a narrow gap between the toilet and the vanity or the wall. A slim rolling cart slides right in and holds skincare, cotton pads and spare toilet paper. Roll it out when you need it and tuck it back when you are done.
8. A clear organizer for makeup and skincare
If your counter is crowded, go vertical. A clear tiered organizer with small drawers keeps makeup and skincare tidy and easy to see, so you stop buying things you already own.
9. A wall mounted toothbrush holder
Get toothbrushes and toothpaste off the counter with a stick on holder. It keeps things dry and clean and frees up precious counter space next to the sink.
Quick tips for no drill storage that stays put
- Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol before you stick anything on.
- Press adhesive pads firmly for 30 seconds and wait 24 hours before adding weight.
- Do not overload stick on shelves. Heavy items like full bottles of bleach belong under the sink.
- When you move out, warm the adhesive with a hair dryer and peel it off slowly.
The bottom line
You do not need to drill holes or lose your deposit to get a bathroom that works. Start with one or two of these ideas, like stick on shower shelves and an under sink organizer, and build from there. For more renter friendly ideas, follow Rental Reset on Pinterest at pinterest.com/therentalreset.
