Having lived in five different NYC apartments, I’m no stranger to cramped bathrooms. As a renter, my mission has always been finding simple ways to add storage without drilling into walls or risking my security deposit. Fortunately, my job as a shopping writer keeps me on the lookout for clever products designed to declutter toiletries and maximize tight spaces.

To help you make the most of your area, I’ve gathered the best renter-friendly bathroom storage solutions that create the illusion of extra footage. From slim rolling carts to handy under-sink organizers, these finds will instantly upgrade your space, starting at $13!

MaisoNovo Shampoo and Conditioner Dispenser
$45$3522% off

When I moved into my most recent apartment, I knew I wanted to do something about the piles of shampoo and conditioner bottles that were accumulating around my tub’s perimeter. So, I got these chic dispensers that attach to my shower tile via adhesive. They make me feel like I’m showering in a fancy hotel, and reviewers swear that they’re renter-friendly.

TAILI Shower Caddy
$20

And if you don’t want to use adhesive in your bathroom, then you may want a shower caddy that attaches to the tile with suction cups. It’s rustproof, can hold up to 22 pounds, and is a great place to rest soap and toiletry bottles, or hang a loofah or comb, so they won’t clutter the perimeter of your tub.
