Doors, walls and small fixes
Shower and tub
Rated for wet shower walls and comes off without damaging tile. Check the weight limit on the pack and let the strips cure before loading.
Command Shower Caddy, 1 Caddy, 4 Large Strips
A corner shelf set that sticks to tile and holds full-size bottles. Cheap, but follow the cure time before you load it.
YASONIC adhesive corner shower caddy, 3-pack
Hangs straight over the shower head with nothing to install, so it is the fastest fix if you are only staying a year. Rustproof aluminium; check it clears your shower head first.
YASONIC 3-tier over-shower-head caddy
Stands floor to ceiling in the shower corner with no fixings. It is the expensive pick on this list, but stainless steel and it does not rust or sag like cheap versions.
simplehuman tension pole shower caddy, 6-9 ft
An expandable bamboo tray that sits across the tub for a book, phone and a drink. No fixings, and it is a simple way to make a rental bath feel nicer. Generic brand, so check the width against your tub.
Expandable bamboo bathtub caddy tray
Water-resistant adhesive hooks for towels, loofahs or a robe. The easiest damage-free upgrade here, and under $6.
Command Medium White Bath Hooks, 2 Hooks, 4 Strips
Toilet, vanity and drawers
A freestanding rack that uses the wasted space above the toilet, with a paper holder and hooks. Nothing to drill, so it moves with you. Assemble it before you decide where it goes, as it is tall.
Simple Trending 3-Tier Over-Toilet Rack
A freestanding bin that holds six spare rolls and tucks under a sink or beside the toilet. No wall fixing, and it keeps spares off the floor.
mDesign steel toilet paper storage bin, 6-roll
A narrow rolling cart that slides into the gap beside a sink or washing machine, and the wheels make cleaning behind it easy. Metal baskets, so line them for small items.
SONGMICS 3-Tier Steel Rolling Cart with Baskets
Clear bins in four sizes that divide a vanity drawer or cabinet shelf, with grippy pads so they stay put. A cheap way to stop cotton buds and makeup migrating.
Vtopmart 25 Pack Clear Plastic Drawer Organizers
Clear acrylic organiser for makeup, skincare and brushes on a small vanity. Easy to wipe down, and you can see what you own at a glance.
iDesign Clarity 6-compartment cosmetic organizer
Adjusts to fit around awkward pipework and turns dead space under a bathroom sink into two levels, with removable baskets. Freestanding, so nothing is fixed to the cabinet. Lesser-known brand, so measure first.
Expandable 2-tier under-sink shelf with baskets
Doors, walls and small fixes
A spring-tension rod that adds a hanging rail inside a cupboard or across a recess with no fixings. One of the cheapest storage upgrades you can make. This one adjusts from 24 to 36 inches, so measure your gap.
Amazon Basics No Drilling Spring Tension Curtain Rod 24-36"
An adhesive towel bar for bathrooms with no towel rail, and it comes off cleanly when you move. Fine for a hand or bath towel, so check the weight limit on the pack.
Command Satin Nickel Towel Bar w/ 4 Strips
A five-pocket organiser that hangs over the bathroom door for toiletries, hair tools and cleaning supplies. Uses vertical space nobody else is competing for. Check your door clearance before hanging it.
Simple Houseware Heavy Duty 5 Pocket Door Organizer
A self-adhesive holder for the hair dryer and a couple of tools, so they are off the counter with no drilling. Unbranded, so test it with your dryer's weight before you rely on it.
Wall Mounted Hair Dryer Holder No Drill
