How to install floating shelves in a rental?

Question

hi I recently moved house with very little storage space. I’d love some advice as to how install floating shelves in my bathroom without drilling any holes into the walls and tiles as I am renting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @mkah,

I hope you found Jacob's reply helpful.

Just wondering if you might like to share some photos of the space you are working with? Our team might be able to recommend other approaches to add storage, such as a freestanding unit.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi @mkah,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

There are options such as the Permastik Removable Utility Shelf, Permastik Matte Black Metal Shelf and Naleon Clear Adhesive Works Long Shelf which use adhesive strips to attach to walls, however their weight bearing capacity is quite low.

There are also suction cup shelves such as the Fusion-Loc Matte White Style Suction Acrylic Shelf and Fusion-Loc 26kg Stainless Steel Suction Frosted Acrylic Bathroom Shelf, which have higher weight bearing capacity to the adhesive ones.

Unfortunately, you are somewhat limited in what you can do without mechanical fixings, so these are the main two types of shelf that you can use.

Let me know what you think and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
