Storage for a small bathroom with no cabinet
A rental bathroom with no cabinet has three places left: above the toilet, behind the door, and the gap beside the vanity. Everything below fits one of those three. Nothing below needs a drill.
Measure three numbers first and you will not be returning anything. Prices were checked on September 7, 2026 and move around.
Plans open here shortly. No account, no email.
measure these three first
- the wall above the toilet
- Wall to wall in inches, then the floor up to the lowest thing in the way.
- the gap beside the vanity
- Width and depth of the strip nothing sits in. Most are 4 to 8 inches.
- the door
- The thickness of the door edge. Most rental doors are 1.375 inches.

what comes off clean
Four of the five above touch nothing. They stand on the floor, hang on a door, or sit under the sink. The hook is the only thing stuck to a wall, and it is made to peel off.
Pull the tab straight down, slowly, along the wall. Not out. That is the whole trick, and it is why your deposit stays yours.
This list is generic. Your bathroom is not.
Give us the inches of that wall and we will name only the things that fit it, and say where each one goes.
