Rental-friendly bedroom ideas for organisation
Many see our bedrooms as our sanctuary, and rental bedrooms are no different. Fortunately, even when renting, you can sustain a den that’s peacefully Zen.
Now, while you can hide extra linens, seasonal clothing, and things you need only on occasion in under-bed containers and chest drawers, items you use daily or more often need to be somewhere easily accessible.
Command™ Hooks attach securely onto a broad range of surfaces and use adhesive that leaves no trace on your rental bedroom wall. Use them to hang pegboards, jewelry, belts, bags, jackets, and more. The new Hooks from our Heavyweight Range can even hold items as heavy as 6.8kg!
