Organizing a Small Apartment Bathroom - Without any DIY or Damage

It always amazes me that it is said that the bathroom and the kitchen are the heart of any home, yet in apartments these seem to be the tiniest rooms!

If you are trying to figure out small apartment bathroom storage ideas, then check out some of these ideas that will hopefully get your creativity going! It all depends on how much storage you need, but there is always a way!


Since most small apartment bathrooms use a pedestal sink to save space, this cabinet can give you instant storage.  Click on the above picture to see just how it is used.  There is no DIY, no destruction of rental property, no screws or nails.  You simply slide this in under your present pedestal sink and you have instant storage for all your bathroom supplies without taking up room.

This should take care of many things like toilet paper, cleaning supplies etc. You could purchase clear stack-able tubs from the dollar store to even utilize the space behind the cabinet doors even more for smaller items. But at least you can keep the toilet paper in the bathroom out of sight rather than down the hall! Not very helpful in emergencies!  Stack your towels too!

Try Utilizing the Bathroom Door for More Storage

This unit actually fits right into the hinges.  There is no screws or nails into the wall.  It becomes the back part of your door, but it can hold a lot of supplies.  Integrate this unit with the above pedestal sink storage and you have already found room in your small apartment bathroom.



This one needs to be integrated into the hinges of the bathroom door, but this will not cause destruction. You could easily take it with you when you move.

If you are not a fan of messing with the hinges, for the above cabinet idea, you can go for a more soft pocket storage by simply using over the door storage such as the one below:  This does not affect the door closing at all, you can have it hooked on the door instantly.




These are softer pocket storage, but would be awesome for different things you would need in the shower, or at the sink or even for storing your hairdryer and supplies.



What I love about this makeup organizer is that it is rotating, so you have tons of storage at your finger tips. This will not take up much room but actually utilizing height instead of width. No DIY, just instant storage for your tiny bathroom storage ideas. This will take all those loose things off the vanity and make it easier to clean too.



If nothing else, there should be some room above the toilet. As long as you don't have a window in this space, as most small apartments do not have windows in the bathroom, you can totally take advantage of this vertical space for storage.

This cause no damage and can be taken with you when you move. Keeping things portable in rental spaces makes it easier to personalize it, and not cause grief for your landlord. As a landlord I have dealt with many tenants who have hammered all kinds of things to my bathroom walls, I usually urge them to use portable ideas.




Using a tension rod causes no damage to the ceiling or tub corner.  This is also portable and holds a lot of products.  They don't rust and it has 4 shelves making it easy to find your product.

This corner unit is free standing and would work also in the bathroom itself, possible behind the door or near the shower or actually in the shower stall.  Below is another great idea if you are really having trouble with product storage.



Everything fits in the pockets on the inside of this shower curtain. This is an awesome idea as once you get in your shower and close the curtain everything becomes available to you. If you simple don't have the room for shower shelves, this is one way of taking advantage of the room you do have.

Organizing a Small Apartment Bathroom and Making it More Personalized for You without DIY!

If you use even a couple of these ideas you should be able to put things in order even in your tiny space without and DIY, nail holes, or screws.  If your landlord has given you strict instructions not to attach anything to the bathroom walls of your apartment, then get creative with portable storage that you can take with you when you move.

It will make a huge difference to the look of this tiny apartment bathroom too.  More personal.

I personally love the idea of the pedestal sink cabinets that simply slide in, or the over the toilet storage too.  If you do have a tiny vanity, get some tiny stacking tubs from the dollar store and use the vertical space in these cabinets.  There is always a way!

Try to keep bathroom supplies in the bathroom, this will make the bathroom lean and mean and ready for action at any time.
