THE SPACE EDIT

Rental & No-Drill Storage

Renting takes away the drill, not the storage problem. Everything in this edit works without putting holes in a wall: tension poles, adhesive mounts, freestanding units and over-door racks, each one included because it can come down again without leaving a mark.

The guides below check the things that decide whether a no-drill solution actually holds — the surface type and finish, the load it is rated for, how the fixing is removed, and how much the door or cabinet still has to move.
