Small bathrooms fill up fast. Towels end up draped over the radiator or the side of the bath, shampoo bottles crowd the bath edge, the cabinet is a jumble of plasters and half-used tubes, and there’s nowhere to put your phone. If you rent, or just don’t fancy drilling into tiles, the usual answer of “put up a shelf” isn’t much help.
We’ve picked six well-rated Amazon UK finds that add storage without drilling, from over-door hooks to stackable cabinet trays. We haven’t tested these ourselves. The picks are based on product specifications, listing details and star ratings on Amazon UK when checked, and we’ve included the honest downsides for each one.

niffgaff Over-Door Hooks, 2-Pack – best for towels with nowhere to go
These metal hooks hook over the top of a door, so there are no screws, tools or drilling. According to the listing, they fit interior doors up to 1.4 inches (about 3.5cm) thick, need a gap of at least 1mm above the door, and come with two support pads for thinner doors to reduce wobbling. The listing also describes a rust-resistant powder coating, which matters in a steamy bathroom.
Pros: one of the cheapest ways to add hanging space, they move with you if you rent, and two hooks give room for a towel and a dressing gown. They had a 4.5-star average from over 1,300 ratings when checked.
Cons: they won’t suit thick doors or doors that fit tightly at the top, so measure first. Anything heavy hanging on them may knock against the door when it opens and closes.
Who it suits: renters and anyone whose towels currently live on the radiator or the floor.

Toilet Roll Holder With Shelf – best for loo roll and a phone
A stainless steel toilet roll holder with a shelf on top. According to the listing, you can either stick it to the wall with the included adhesive or screw it in using the hardware kit, and the shelf has an upturned edge so a phone, wipes or an air freshener are less likely to slide off. The listing describes it as waterproof and rustproof.
Pros: gives you two jobs in one spot, and the adhesive option means no drilling if you rent. The black finish suits modern bathrooms. It had a 4.5-star average from over 1,400 ratings when checked.
Cons: adhesive needs a clean, dry, flat surface to grip well, and it may struggle on textured or freshly painted walls. If the adhesive fails, you’ll need to drill after all.
Who it suits: bathrooms with a missing or wobbly holder and anyone who wants somewhere other than the floor for their phone.

Sort the shower
ilikable Suction Shower Caddy – best for bottles on the bath edge
A wall-mounted shower shelf that fixes with a vacuum suction cup rather than screws. According to the listing, it measures about 30.5 x 12 x 21cm, holds up to 10kg, has a sloped, open base so water drains away, and has hooks on the sides for razors or a bath sponge. You press the suction cup until it clicks into place.
Pros: gets shampoo, conditioner and shower gel off the bath edge and the floor, the drained base helps stop slimy puddles, and it can be moved without leaving holes. It had a 4.3-star average from nearly 9,800 ratings when checked, the most ratings of the six.
Cons: the listing says it only works on smooth, non-porous surfaces such as tiles or glass, not painted, cracked or uneven walls, and grout lines can stop it sealing. At £19.99 it’s the priciest pick here.
Who it suits: tiled showers and bathrooms with no built-in shelf or niche.

Tidy the cabinet and drawers
iDesign Med+ Medicine Box – best for medicines and first aid
A clear plastic organiser with six compartments, measuring about 23 x 13 x 8cm according to the listing. The open top means you can see and grab what you need quickly, and it’s small enough for a narrow cabinet shelf or a drawer.
Pros: the cheapest pick, it puts plasters, paracetamol, thermometers and creams in one place so you’re not rummaging when you need them, and the clear sides make it easy to see what’s running low. It had a 4.6-star average from 667 ratings when checked.
Cons: there’s no lid, so it won’t keep medicines out of children’s reach on its own. Keep it in a high or lockable cupboard if you have little ones at home.
Who it suits: households with a cabinet full of loose medicines and first-aid bits.

Stackzy Drawer Organiser Set, 12 Pieces – best for a messy bathroom drawer
Twelve clear trays in four sizes that you arrange to fit your drawer. According to the listing, the set includes one 22.5 x 15cm tray, two 22.5 x 8.5cm trays, six 15 x 7.5cm trays and three 7.5 x 7.5cm trays, all 5.5cm deep, made from PET plastic that wipes clean.
Pros: you can mix and match the trays to fit odd drawer sizes, and they work just as well for kitchen or desk drawers if your needs change. It had a 4.6-star average from over 1,500 ratings when checked.
Cons: the trays sit loose, so they can slide about in a drawer that’s much bigger than the set. Check your drawer is at least 5.5cm deep.
Who it suits: anyone with a vanity or bathroom drawer full of hair ties, razors, make-up and toothpaste tubes.

poeland Stackable Organiser Trays, 2-Pack – best for a cluttered mirror cabinet
Two clear trays that stack on top of each other, plus two small lipstick cases and two cotton pad boxes. According to the listing, the trays are 3.5 inches (about 9cm) deep to fit most mirror cabinets, with a higher rail on one side to stop things falling and a lower, open side for easy reach.
Pros: makes better use of the height in a cabinet shelf, and the small boxes give cotton buds and pads a proper home. It also works on a worktop or windowsill.
Cons: it had a 4.4-star average from just 75 ratings when checked, far fewer than the other picks, so there’s less buyer feedback to go on. Measure your cabinet depth and shelf height before buying.
Who it suits: people with a mirror cabinet where skincare and make-up tumble out every time it opens.

How to choose no-drill bathroom storage
- Measure first. Check door thickness for over-door hooks, cabinet depth for trays and drawer depth for organisers before you order.
- Check your wall surface. Suction and adhesive products need clean, smooth, flat surfaces. Tiles and glass usually work best, while painted or textured walls often don’t.
- Think about steam. Bathrooms get damp, so look for rust-resistant metal or plastic that wipes clean.
- Leave room to drain. Shower storage with an open or sloped base helps stop water sitting around bottles.
- Keep medicines safe. Open organisers are handy, but store them out of reach of children.
- Read recent reviews. Products can change between batches, so look at the latest Amazon UK reviews before you buy.
Final thoughts
A small bathroom doesn’t need a drill or a refit to feel tidier. Over-door hooks and a toilet roll holder with a shelf deal with towels and phones, a suction caddy clears the bath edge, and a few clear trays and boxes turn a messy cabinet or drawer into something you can actually find things in. Start with the clutter that annoys you most and check the latest price before you buy.

FAQ
How can I add bathroom storage without drilling?
Use storage that hooks, sticks or sits in place: over-door hooks for towels, suction or adhesive shelves on smooth tiles, and trays or boxes inside cabinets and drawers. Always check the wall surface and weight limits in the listing first.
Do suction shower caddies work on all walls?
No. Most need a smooth, non-porous surface such as tile or glass, and the ilikable listing says not to use it on painted, cracked or uneven walls. Clean and dry the surface before fitting it.
Will over-door hooks fit my door?
The niffgaff hooks are listed for interior doors up to about 3.5cm thick with a gap of at least 1mm at the top. Measure your door and check it closes properly before buying.
Is it safe to store medicines in the bathroom?
Many medicines should be kept somewhere cool and dry, and bathrooms can get warm and steamy, so check the storage advice on each pack. Whatever room you use, keep medicines out of children’s reach.
