I’m trying to fit as much as possible under the sink. Need to use the most vertical space that I can but I don’t know how. I thought about floating shelves but the vanity walls thickness is only 0.5” so I don’t think I’ll be able to put any screws in without them going through. It could be adhesive floating shelves and just use them for non heavy stuff so it doesn’t fall but I don’t know if that would hold, plus I have not had any luck finding any online.

Under the sink dimensions: 15.5” x 16.5” x 21”

Vanity wallas thickness: 0.5”

Medicine cabinet is near full already. Im trying to stay away from over the toilet standing racks, but I would not be opposed to floating shelves.

I’m out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

i live in a west-facing unit with one wall almost entirely made of floor to ceiling windows. the heat from the windows is unbearable, even with the lil blind / screens rolled down + A/C running. i’ve recently developed heat intolerance, too, so i’m seeking renter-friendly ways to reduce the amt of heat entering my apt!!

i’m considering either reflective window tints on my windows or blackout curtains with thermal insulation backing. here are my qs:

1. based on pic #1, are my windows single or double paned? if double, would using reflective window film / tint / cling potentially damage the windows?
2. if curtains are safer, would you use tension rods or drill based on my window situation? if drill, what area(s) make the most sense b/w pic #2, #3, and #5? and if tension rod, are there any 155”+?
3. would curtain tracks work better than curtain / tension rods for this setup?

TIA for any help! :)
