Best Bathroom Space Savers for Renters: 8 Sources

It's rare that you come across anyone with too much storage space in the bathroom — most homes have a shortage of square footage. If you rent and aren't planning a bathroom renovation any time soon, your options are limited, but wall-mounted, folding, and stackable products can help. Here's a short list of well-designed organizers from Umbra to IKEA to OXO.

Kikkerland: This company makes a bunch of modern space-savers, like a compact Easy Fold Step Stool in Multiple Colors ($21), a wall-mounted First Aid Box ($23), and a variety of hooks and racks. You can buy their products online or through large retailers like Bed, Bath, and Beyond and Amazon.com.
Amazon.com: Train racks are classic space-savers. Often crafted of nickel or chrome, they're made to stand up to long-term wear, and they double as shelves and towel hooks. Shown: Taymor 20-Inch Polished Nickel Paris Towel Shelf, under $60.
