Your shower may be designed for cleaning, but that doesn't mean it's easy to keep clean and organized. In our haste to suds up, rinse off, and rush out the door, we forget our showers need a little TLC too. The few shelves and ledges in a shower can quickly become crowded and cluttered with frayed loofahs, dull razors, and a never-ending collection of soap. It's not a good look, and it's time to take action and address the growing mess.

Fortunately, this problem isn't yours alone. There are many companies, professional cleaners, home organizers, and more that have developed products and ideas for better shower storage. Here are 20 of our favorite ideas to help you spruce up your shower.

43 Bathroom Storage Ideas to Maximize Space and Style

10 ways to keep your shower neat |

Without doubt, the best shower storage ideas are designed into the fabric of your bathroom at planning stage: built-in shelves, niches, hidden cupboards, even benches with space for bottles. 

On the other hand, freestanding bathroom storage ideas can add texture, interest and character to a space, allowing you to solve two design dilemmas at once.

Below we showcase the best shower storage ideas to suit every space, large or small.

Shower storage ideas

Whether you're looking for storage for walk-in-showers or for family bathrooms that includes a shower cubicle, these ideas will solve all your clutter woes.

1. Sneak a shelf or two on the side

If you are looking for shower room ideas that make the most of vertical space, you can create a niche with your shower cubicle in which to put useful shelves, whether hidden or on display.

'No more tripping over half empty bottles of shampoo and shower gel with this built-in shower storage idea. All you need to do is keep your products neat and tidy and use baskets for the bulkier items like fresh towels and bath mats,' says Lucy Searle, global editor in chief, Homes & Gardens 

2. For texture, add a wooden ladder shelf

Looking for wet room ideas that take up little floor space but bring plenty of charm to a smaller space? 

'Ladder shelves have become a popular addition to our homes during the last few years. Handy in most rooms, they're a marvel in a bathroom because they're space saving and uber practical. Use it for all your shower storage needs as they can hold lotions, potions, candles and keepsakes,' says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor, Homes & Gardens 

3. Have an inset shower shelf

'Building a recessed shelf is a great way of creating neat storage in your shower, providing ample space for shampoos, soaps and body wash without it clogging up the floor of your shower.  

'To create this in your own home, you’ll most likely need to hire a professional tradesperson who will be able to cut out a neat recess area. However, how big and where your shelf can go will be dictated by the space between your stud wall framework. As you are using cavity walls, it’s a good time to kill two birds with one stone and also use it to cover up any unsightly pipework for your new shower,' says Sophie Harrold, director at Simply Bathrooms

4. A simple stool (or two) can suffice...

'If you have a beautiful run of patterned wall tiles you may not want to drill holes for wall hung storage pieces. Instead, consider a stool or two. They're handier than you think and you can use them for towels and your favorite shower gel. If you have a wet room consider a design that's waterproof so it can be next to you for ease,' says Melanie Griffiths, editor at Period Living.

5. A shelf on one side of the bathroom will have its uses

'Any built in shelf will be useful, and this one near the bath can be used for both tub and shower toiletries. You can't have too many shower storage ideas though and if you can add a wall hanging design then all the better,' says Andrea Childs, editor at Country Homes & Interiors.

6. Go for wall hung over floor standing in a smaller shower

'In the bathroom, it’s important to keep toiletries easily accessible. Each area of the bathroom – sink, bath + shower – should feature some form of storage in order to keep toiletries close to hand when needed. 

'In the shower area, if the depth of the wall allows, it is good to have a built-in alcove to house shampoo, body wash, etc. Failing that, our bottle racks, available in a large and a small size, are perfect and can be positioned in exactly the right place for showering,' advises James Lentaigne, creative director at Drummonds

7. Have a towel rail installed at the far end of the shower area

'In a shower room where space is tight, you can hang a towel rail if it's far enough away from the shower end. And it can be a very useful addition of course – that reach of your arm to grab a warm towel when water's in your eyes can be a godsend! 

'We also love the idea of using a vintage tray to keep soap, a loofah and shower must-haves neat,' says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor at Homes & Gardens 

8. Put up a shelf to the side of shower

'What we all really want is shower storage at shoulder height, so we can simply reach for what we need without having to bend down and pick bottles up from the floor. A shelf like this would be ideal for all your essentials and consider a towel hook too,' says Lucy Searle, global editor in chief, Homes & Gardens.

9. Tuck a caddy in a corner

'Caddy's are the ultimate space-savers and in this loft walk-in shower it's neatly tucked away into a corner, yet still in reach for those toiletries. When your scheme is monochromatic invest in a black design to carry on the theme and fill it full of fluffy white towels,' says Melanie Griffiths, editor at Period Living.  

10. For the ultimate in storage and comfort, invest in shower bench

Shower bench ideas aren't just useful for sitting – they are ideal for shower storage, too.

'Talk about functionality and comfort – this built in shower bench spans the full length of one wall making for a bench that can store toiletries and a resting place that gives a spa-like feel!' says Lindye Galloway, founder and chief creative office at Lindye Galloway Studio & Shop

How do I add storage to my shower?

There are many ways to add storage to a shower. The easiest is with a small floor-standing caddy that can sit in the corner of the shower. A storage ladder just outside the shower area is another instant solution. Hooks at the far end of the shower wall are useful for towels. However, the most attractive and efficient shower storage ideas are niches, wall-hung or recessed cabinets and wall shelves.

How do you store shampoo and conditioner in a shower

Storing shampoo and conditioner well in a shower is really important because it's almost guaranteed that you will want them when you have water in your eyes and your vision is compromised. Ideally, they should be stored at between waist and shoulder height, and always in the same place. A recessed niche within the shower is the ideal – ensure its standing surfaces slopes gently forwards so that water doesn't pool – and failing that a caddy hung on the wall. 

Space saving shower ideas / Stay-at-home

At the end of a long day, enjoying a nice hot relaxing shower is a real treat. At such moments, no one would like to trip over shampoo and body wash bottles when entering and exiting. We need to find a solution for storing swimwear.
You've started noticing that your expensive salon shampoo is running out too soon. Perhaps your partner is simply reaching for the nearest bottle out of convenience, not realizing that he is washing his hair with your expensive product.
Find the right shower storage idea for your home.

1. Elegant and minimalistic wall caddy

This simple hanging shower rack gets the job done with no frills or fuss. Exceptionally clean black lines look elegant and won't pick up dirt and mold in the shower.


2. Smart, space-saving corner shelves

If your shower allows you to use corner space, take advantage of this. You can match the shelves with the shower wall and stack as much as you want on them. Corner shelves are the best way to store things in the shower, just wipe them down regularly to keep mold from forming.


3. Hanging mesh for bath and shower

If you have a curtain in your shower and not a door, you can get this unusual hanging mesh hanging. You can place it either inside the curtain or outside. With six pockets, you can store everything from soap to shampoo. This suspension is easy to install and takes up almost no additional space.


4. Compact storage idea

A plastic shower corner shelf is one of the easiest, fastest, and cheapest options for storing shower supplies. You don't need to drill or hammer anything. One of the advantages of this shelf is that it offers two hanging towel hooks.


5. Hanging shower baskets

Hanging from a long beaded metal chain, these opaque plastic baskets add charm and freshness to the shower enclosure. The whole unit just hangs from the shower head making it easy to use and no installation required.


6. Storage idea for classic metal shower shelves

There is something familiar about this device. This metal rack fits everything and is easy to clean. It is quite roomy, and you can also hang towels on it. The shelf is attached to the wall, so you can place it wherever you like.


7. Super cool vial holder

This shower holder holds six bottles, two soap racks and multiple hanging options for razors, washcloths and towels. If you have a metal shower head, this device will look like it has always been part of the equipment.


8. Wooden shower bar

If your home, and especially your bathroom, has a rustic vibe, you should opt for this charming wooden counter. It's made from recycled pallets and has cute decorative lettering along the top.

9. Cool stainless steel shower basket

With heavy-duty stickers, this cool bathroom piece is attached to the wall. Its unique design looks good both in the shower and simply on the bathroom wall.


10. Silicone bath holder

If you are looking for a small and almost invisible bathtub holder, this silicone option might be for you. It can hold your toothbrushes, soap, razor and toothpaste. This is a great way to give your toiletries a place.

The shower should be a temple of purity, not a tower of chaos. Find the right storage solution and enjoy extra peace of mind.
