When you’re renting, there are a few things you can expect. You may have different shades of white covering your walls, there will always be one window that sticks more than the others when you try to open it, and you’re always going to wish you had more storage—especially in your bathroom. But as we were perusing the pages of IKEA, as we’re prone to do, something new caught our eye that’ll solve that last problem.
Enter: the Byasjön sink base cabinet. As opposed to IKEA’s popular design that offers open shelving, this oak-looking cabinet hides your things from sight while sneakily fitting around your sink pipe. Inside, it’s got two roomy shelves spanning 26 inches wide. It’s also available in white, but the touch of woodgrain would add a lot of warmth to a builder-grade space. If your landlord is lukewarm on renovations or DIY projects, this is a solid, budget-friendly option (it’s $149) that won’t mess up any walls or plumbing. Plus, the doors are designed to be soft-closing, which is always nice when you’re rummaging around for Tylenol in the middle of the night.
Make it look as good on the inside as it does on the outside by getting some organization boxes or bins (this bamboo set fits the cabinet’s minimalist, Scandi vibe). This space is asking to house extra linens, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, a collection of bath bombs, and skincare back-ups. All your stuff will finally have a rightful home—you might just forget you’re renting for a second.
