Need more shower storage? I definitely did! There's nothing worse than trying to get clean while bottles and soap containers are falling on your toes. Instead of adding shelves or making a more permenant (read: expesnvie) change to my shower, I came up with a simple solution! I used a tension rod, shower baskets, and some curtain hooks to create more shower space. It's simple and space saving.

Hometalk Recommends!

Add more storage space with this highly recommended tension rod and shower baskets that Amazon reviewers swear by!


SUPPLIES:


-Tension Rod


-Shower Baskets


-Shower Clips


-Metal Curtain Clips

STEP 1: Prepare your tension rod


Remove the rubber end of your tension rod and slide all of the shower clips and curtain hooks onto the rod.

STEP 2: Attach shower clips to baskets


Feed the shower clips through the holes of the shower baskets on each end allowing it to hang from the tension rod.

STEP 3: Add your rod to the shower


Hang your rod against the wall of your shower.

STEP 4: Hang your bottles


Clip bottles and wash rags with the curtain hooks and fill up your baskets with fitting items. (I used shallow baskets with the intent of keeping smaller items in it, however, there is a plethora of basket options at the dollar store that would be more suitable than larger items as well.)

    I use my main shower. It has a door. I think I can make it right, to do this. Just space the rod in shower more YES.

    Great idea. I’ll definitely try it. Thank you. Your readers are suggesting using this idea in bookcases and cupboards. How would you use them in those places? I am not clear. Thank you.

    I did this in my tub area except I looped my tension rod thru the basket handles and used showers clips for my bath poufy or rags. Looks much neater around my tub so I can add decorative candles, etc

    I have always had a tension rod in the shower to hang damp towels and wet face cloths on to dry before putting them in the hamper.
