Screwless and carefree with furniture to lean on

Don't have a drill or the nerve to drill holes in your walls? Then you're like me. I prefer furniture that can stand on its own and offers me maximum flexibility.
In order to regularly update my interior, I move individual pieces of furniture from one room to the next. Changing locations is so easy for me because most of my small and large pieces of furniture are not screwed to the walls. Instead, I have bipods to lean on, such as ladders or consoles. This eliminates the need for tedious hole plugging - leaving more room for creativity instead.
Stand mirror
Whether in the dressing room or entrance, these models have a big advantage. They can be moved quickly so that you can chase the best lighting. The sun moves throughout the day and so does the natural light. Simply place free-standing mirrors on the wall next to the window that receives the most sunlight. Then you avoid backlighting and the sun's rays land on you. The model from Menu, for example, puts one on top and doubles as a clothes rack.
Consoles
Space-saving storage surfaces are in demand in every room. Consoles can be used in a variety of ways. Sometimes they can be used for your decorations, sometimes for your reading glasses or sunglasses. They are higher than conventional sideboards and, like a screwed wall shelf, can be accessed without bending down. Sometimes you can even find models like the one from Tojo, which offers hidden storage compartments for shoes and more.
Leaning wardrobes
With my obsession with jackets, I have reservations about using a screwed-in coat rack. With the weight of at least ten jackets, I'd expect it to fall to the floor. Especially if your walls are hollow on the inside like mine and there are no dowels to fix them to. That's why I opted for a free-standing solution that relies purely on its legs and a piece of wall to lean against. The best thing is that there are versions for fewer jackets than ten, such as the one from Kommod and more from Roomsafari.
Ladders
Ladders are another welcome collection point for everything you want to have ready at all times. They are most often used for towels or items of clothing. Unicorns such as those from Tubes can even provide heat so that tea towels and other items dry quickly. Alternatively, you can use ladders for magazines or use S-hooks to store small items
