Renting a home comes with a few rules - like not drilling into the walls. But that doesn't mean storage has to be a compromise. With flexible solutions that stand, hang or lean, it's easy to organise your things in a way that feels both functional and personal, without leaving a single hole behind.
Build your own walls
Walls made of concrete are one way to divide a room, but there are other options too. A freestanding cabinet like TROTTEN lets you section off different activities while adding storage at the same time. Depending on how you place the back panel, the cabinet can work from one side or both - with sliding doors on one side and open shelving on the other. This flexibility makes it easy to create privacy and structure without blocking the room, whether it's large or small.
Make your furniture float
With fewer things fixed along the walls, a lot can be gained by maximising mobility. Wheeled and easy-to-move pieces like VIHALS and INVALLNING simplify furnishing in general, and make everyday life in a no-drill home more flexible. Storage and surfaces can shift as needed, instead of being locked into place.
Boxes are the best
There's a certain simplicity and genius to boxes. On castors in a corner, neatly lined up on a shelf, with lids or without, stacked or standing alone. Endlessly versatile, they adapt to different purposes, placements and styles. In homes where drilling isn't an option, boxes become an especially smart way to add storage without fixing anything in place.

It's very important to IKEA that its wood comes from sustainable sources. We work with non-profit organizations committed to protecting forests.
Castors and convenience
Making it possible to organise your workspace without relying on wall-mounted solutions, a drawer unit like HELMER on castors keeps storage low and close at hand. Designed to fit neatly under most IKEA desks, and paired with an equally mobile office chair, it supports a flexible desk setup. Easy to roll in and out, the drawer unit helps keep the area above the desk open and calm.
A small gesture changes everything
Today, steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world. This type of material is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production. Furthermore, it does not lose any of its properties when recycled.
