Wall Mounted Shower Caddy

By Charlotte Wilson


Have you ever reached that point when you realized that your bathroom is too cluttered, with so many shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles lying everywhere, or maybe wondered if there are more fashionable toiletry holders that aren't plastic and tacky-looking? That said, lets take a look at some the different styles and designs that are out there so you can start to get a better idea of what you want in your own shower.

Suction Shower Caddies- The brushed nickel suction caddy is very common and one of the more traditional ones that people usually think of at first. By keeping the items you often use in the shower organized and within easy reach, you will create a safer bathroom environment.

The first one is a caddy that hangs from your brushed nickel shower arm and uses that as it's primary support, then there would be a single suction cup near the bottom that simply presses up against the wall of your shower to secure the caddy into place so it doesn't wiggle around or fall from the shower head. Either way, these will keep your toiletries tidy and easily well within reach while you're taking a shower.

The power lock model has four or more suction cups which allow it to be securely bonded to any wall in your shower as long as the walls are relatively smooth.

If the satin nickel shower caddy is multi-layered, the deeper baskets can be used to hold the tall bottles, while the shallower shelves can contain small items like face towels, facial washes, razors, loofah, and such.

However, as long as the caddy is secure, a stainless steel model is an excellent and extremely durable choice. Others may have hooks from which you can hang your towels, sponges or back scrubbers to allow these items to dry between showers. The great thing about satin nickel shower caddies is that the color can easily match any type of furnishing. Essentially, the caddy is a standard length pole with multiple baskets attached to it; you place the pole in the corner of your shower and use the ratcheting mechanism tighten the pole into place, so both ends are lodged between your ceiling and floor, hence the name "tension pole".

If you have a peg rack on one wall of the bathroom, each family member can hang their stocked shower caddy on a peg, and take it with them into the shower, hanging it over the shower head or on a hook on the shower door. These are less common because they're usually a little more bulky and take up more space than the average person's shower can afford to lose.

After showering, the portable shower caddy can be quickly blotted dry with a towel, and hung back on the peg rack. My only word of advice would be to take a look around the internet before buying in the stores because you can often find much better deals online than you can in the stores.
