Add Extra Storage To Your Bathroom With An Affordable Space-Saving IKEA Solution
Towels piled onto a single hook and on the verge of slipping off? Bathrobe crumpled on a stool? Loofahs crowding the shower handle? Lack of shelf and counter space for all the products in your multiple-step beauty routine? Fear not, you can put all of those bathroom storage problems behind you with the must-have IKEA pieces from the TISKEN collection. This line of towel racks, hooks, and baskets provides multiple versatile, renter- and small-space-friendly suction solutions to help organize your space — for a very modest sum.
There's a standard shower basket priced at $7.99, and another designed to make the most of underutilized corner space, costing just under $9. The collection also includes a $12.99 towel rack, while the remaining items are less than $7. Among them is the TISKEN hook with suction cup, a best seller and space saver at $4.49 for a pack of two. They all attach to the wall through suction cups, saving you from any drilling, which is perfect if you're renting or if you simply hate to make long-term decor commitments. Plus, removing is just as easy as installing. Simply slide a thin object (like a card) behind the cup, and it will come right off.
All the great uses for the IKEA TISKEN selection
Skip the shelves and try an easy IKEA trick for stylish bathroom storage by combining different TISKEN products into an entirely customizable set-up. You can start by reclaiming some of that cluttered counter space by taking your toothbrush and soap to the wall with the TISKEN toothbrush holder with suction cup and the TISKEN soap dish with suction cup. The shower baskets don't need to be exclusive to the wet areas, either. Holding up to six pounds, they can be valuable storage for beauty products, makeup, and medicine in any part of the bathroom. As for the suction hooks, you can get creative, too. They can hold towels and clothes, of course, but also anything that you may need to move around the bathroom for convenience — such as a toy basket, cleaning supplies, or shower accessories like caps, sponges, and brushes.
IKEA does note that TISKEN products work best on smooth surfaces like glass and tile. This is because the texture and porosity of materials like plaster, drywall, and wood can prevent the suction cup from connecting completely to the wall, creating gaps that allow air inflow to break the vacuum. In those cases, the trick to make bathroom suction cups stick better on rough surfaces is to even them out by applying clear tape before securing the cup. This will give you extra freedom to combine your favorite TISKEN pieces to best fit your needs.
