Drawer organisers, baskets, shelves
Okay okay okay I know I said I was “done” buying storage… but then you live in shared houses, work from home, lift heavy at the gym, play hockey, cook/bake a LOT, and suddenly storage isn’t optional — it’s survival. I’ve built home studios in 5 different properties over 10 years (musician + producer + video editor chaos), and these are the bits that actually worked. Learned the hard way. Amazinnngg stuff only.
VonHaus Slim Bathroom Storage Unit
Shared houses = zero bathroom space. This slim unit slides into dead gaps and somehow holds loo rolls, cleaning bits, and random products that appear out of nowhere. Absolute 👏GAME👏CHAN👏GER energy, even if your bathroom is basically a cupboard.
Toilet Paper Storage
I used to stash toilet rolls everywhere. Everywhere. This keeps them tidy, dry, and hidden from shame. The lid matters more than you think, especially in busy bathrooms. Simple, solid, incredddible for shared living.
Back of Door Bathroom Storage (Medicine Cabinet)
Back-of-door storage is elite-level house hacking. This one cleared my sink, organised meds, grooming stuff, and all those tiny bottles you swear you’ll use. Perfect when you’ve lived in houses with exactly zero built-in storage.
Space Saving Hangers for Wardrobes
Gym clothes. Hockey kit. Studio hoodies. Constant washing. These hangers doubled my wardrobe space overnight. Not exaggerating. If your room is shared and storage is tight, this is low-effort, high-reward magic.
Shoe Storage Cabinet
Shoes multiply. No one talks about it. This stackable setup keeps trainers, work shoes, and “I’ll-clean-these-later” pairs under control. Great for hallways, bedrooms, or that weird corner every shared house has.
Stackable Chairs
Hosted dinners, studio sessions, random mates dropping by — stackable chairs save space without looking tragic. Easy to hide, easy to grab. As a foodie who actually cooks at home, this made hosting way less stressful.
Extendable Kitchen Table / Desk
I’ve used these as desks, dining tables, and editing stations. Folded down for daily life, extended for food prep, baking days, or full-on work-from-home mode. Perfect if one room has to do everything.
These are all things I’ve discovered by living it — shared houses, tiny rooms, big workloads, lots of cooking, and way too much laundry. Storage that actually adapts makes life calmer. Slightly. Sometimes.
