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.)

    Ok, those spring rods are not that cheap, and isn’t that the same thing as using the wire hanging basket from the shower head??? Been using that for years- and can get those cheap. Plus stuff all in one pace.

    I do like this. I've been trying to solve the problem of my disabled husband's body wash and shampoo sliding off the narrow shelf in our shower. I think I've fixed it by pouring them into small square pump bottles that come with hand soap at Dollar General. They are lighter than the big bottles and don't tip over. If we needed to have more bottles I'd use the tension rod with deeper baskets.

    I have done this for years … it’s really a good idea gives more space and easy access to shampoo and conditioner and what ever else you want to hang on it … I got my pole from a yard sale so it was cheap for me to do this ….the clips didn’t cost that much either.
