It's a place you spend time in nearly every day (sometimes multiple times per day), yet your shower is usually at the bottom of organizing to-do lists. There's a slew of information about how to clean your shower, but how do you incorporate storage within it? Whether it's because we spend less time in the shower than, say, the kitchen, or because no one sees it but your family, shower storage ideas can be hard to come by.

But there is good reason to get your shower in order. First, it can help you relax and alleviate stress. Plus, with less to move out of the way, it's easier to clean your shower. Lastly, decluttering your shower makes it easy to identify and remove expired products.

1. Choose a Caddy That Fits Your Needs

Shower caddies aren't a new concept. However, it's important to find one that can be customized to fit your products. Use the different tiers to sort hair products from body ones. If you buy in bulk and the bottles are too large to fit, consider decanting them into smaller matching dispensers; this will also give your shower a high-end spa look. Like to use a washcloth or loofah? Choose a caddy with built-in hooks.

2. Add a Recessed Shelf

Consider this bathroom upgrade if you're getting ready to do a remodel. A recessed wall shelf, especially in a small shower, can maximize square footage. Make sure the depth of the niche can accommodate bottles so they line up neat and tidy.

3. Dedicate Space for Shaving

Shaving comes with its fair share of supplies. From razors to attachments to shaving cream, these small accessories can easily take up an entire caddy tier. Instead, give shaving its own section in the shower. A corner shelf designed to blend in with surrounding tile can hold all your supplies plus a mirror. Include a holder for the razor you use most and only stock the shelf with what you need to get the job done.

4. Hang Products Within Reach

Perhaps you don't have any bathroom renovations on the horizon, but your shower is too small to hold toiletries or your showerhead isn't conducive to a caddy. Think outside the box when it comes to shower storage ideas. Keep only the essentials inside the shower on a ledge or a windowsill, then hang a basket just outside to hold extraneous bath products. This works well for items that you use while showering and at the sink.

5. Add a Waterproof Shower Seat

A small, freestanding seat or bench can be added to any walk-in shower both to hold products and to contribute spa-like atmosphere in the bathroom. Look for one that's sturdy, water- and rust-resistant, and has non-slip feet. Teak is a good choice because it wears well in a moist environment like a shower.

6. Hide Bath Products in an Unexpected Place

Depending on the layout of your shower, you may be able to build in a sneaky storage drawer to hold your backstock bath products. Extra body wash, bars of soap, and bath salts can be tucked away and out of sight rather than taking up precious space in the linen closet or shower.

7. Build In a Bench

Here's another idea to consider if you're remodeling your shower. A built-in seat or bench makes sense both as seating and potential storage space. If you have lots of products you need to keep within reach, you could set a handsome waterproof basket on the bench to corral them. Not only does a built-in bench add functionality, it also makes a strong design statement.
