Small Space Setup

Intro
Shower clutter builds up fast when bottles don’t have a “home” and everything slides around. Here are renter-friendly shower storage ideas that stay put and make a small bathroom feel calmer.

Step 1: Do a 60-second reset

Pull everything out and keep only what you actually use weekly. Toss empties and duplicates.

Step 2: Pick your shower type

Choose the setup that matches your space:

• Tub/shower combo
• Walk-in shower
• Shared shower (couples/roommates)

Step 3: Use one of these renter-friendly storage systems

1. Adhesive shower caddies (best for most renters)
2. Tension pole corner caddy (great when walls don’t hold adhesive well)
3. Over-the-showerhead caddy (fast install, but can wobble)
4. Corner shelf/adhesive hooks (minimal look, great for small showers)

Step 4: Create 3 zones

• Daily zone: shampoo/conditioner/body wash
• Weekly zone: scrub, shave, deep conditioner
• Shared zone: items everyone uses (soap, loofah holder)

Step 5: Stop the “bottle pile”

Use one small bin/caddy for backstock outside the shower (under sink or closet). The shower should only hold current-use items.

Quick checklist

✅ Nothing sits on the tub ledge/floor
✅ Daily items are reachable with one hand
✅ One system holds 90% of items
✅ Backups live outside the shower
