Some rental agreements are extremely strict. They don't allow you to add any hardware to any room in the house, put holes in the wall, change colors of paint, etc. But what if you find there are some items lacking in the house when you have this kind of rental agreement? This is when it's time for some creative decorating.
In this article were going to take a look at the bathroom. If the bathroom in your rental is lacking a towel rack, and you would like to have a towel easily accessible when trying your hand at the sink or getting out of the tub or shower, there is a solution that will let you put up a towel rack but let your landlord be none the wiser when you leave.
Chances are you've seen those little sticky hooks that can be put up anywhere in the house. They have a sticky sort of residue on the back of them that lets them stick, and hold quite effectively on any surface. But when you pull the back and stretch out that sticky surface, they release their hold from the solid surface. Well now there have been advancements in the use of these little hooks. No longer are they just used on individual hooks. Now towel racks are made with the same kind of removable adhesive.
Before you make a purchase, you're going to want to do a little bit of reading on the products you are looking at. All products have different weight loads. This is going to be important because you want to make sure they can handle what you're going to put on them. If you're looking for a towel rack for hand towels, they only need to be able to hold a pound or two to handle a hand towel by the sink. But, if you're shopping for racks to hold towels by the tub or shower, they're going to need to hold a bit more weight. Look for something that holds at least 10-15 pounds. Remember, it's not just the weight of the towels it has to hold up to but also each time you pull on the towels to remove them from the rack.
You shouldn't have a problem finding this kind of removable towel rack in almost any department store that has a bathroom accessories section. They're also relatively affordable, just about 10 bucks each. Once you get them home, measure the area on the wall where you want to put them. You're going to want to use a pencil to make markings, as pencil can be easily washed off and keep your landlord happy. You're also going to want to level. While yes you can remove and reattach this kind of towel rack, you don't want to be doing that all day long trying to keep your towels from sliding from one side to another.
Installation of this type of towel rack should take you just minutes and be able to fill a big void you have in that bathroom without causing any problems for your landlord in the months and years to come.
