Shower baskets are those handy little gadgets we keep in our shower area to hold items like soap, shampoos, conditioners, razors, and any other items you might need for this specific shower.

 

A shower basket in your shower area is an absolute must-have and goes a long way in ensuring a hassle-free and relaxing shower. I don’t think there’s a single person out there who hasn’t had the misfortune of getting soap in their eyes and blindly groping around in the shower looking for something they need.

 

The idea is to find the shower basket that best suits your needs. You need to consider the price, decoration, and practical uses of a specific shower basket. If price is an issue, you can find some plastic ones at very reasonable prices. However, if you want to focus on decorating, obviously trying to match your chrome faucets will require you to purchase a chrome basket.

The most important factor that I think is worth considering is how practical the shower basket is based on your personal needs. If you prefer to store all the necessary items for a shower in your shower basket, you may need a larger basket. I prefer to keep all my toiletries in a wicker storage basket in my bathroom, then move the items I need for that specific day to my shower basket right before I shower. To that end, I have a smaller basket which is perfect for me since I have a fairly small shower.

I prefer chrome baskets because they are easier to clean and keep clean. I also recommend a basket with two shelves, one shelf where the chrome bars are further apart which is easier to clean and can store larger items and another smaller shelf where the chrome wiring is closer together to hold the elusive soap.

When it comes to installation, the last thing you need is to spend all day drilling holes and installing a shower caddy. Make sure the shower basket you buy is easy to install or like mine, it just hangs on the faucet.

The web is a wonderful medium for accessing information on a wide variety of shower caddies available and your decision on which one to buy can be further validated by the home tips and user reviews that can be found online.
