When choosing a Shower Basket or Shower Shelf, you should pay attention to the following details:
Material & Surface: Shower Baskets and shelves are available in a wide variety of materials and surfaces. Depending on your taste and the existing bathroom accessories in your bathroom, you can choose from materials such as brass, stainless steel, or mineral materials with matching surfaces in Chrome, gold, copper, and also colored coatings like black and white. The particularly durable PVD surfaces are also gaining more and more fans.
Style: The shower baskets and shelves are available in various styles, from classic and modern to minimalist and playful, leaving no wishes unfulfilled. Look around your bathroom and decide according to your personal taste and the existing bathroom equipment.
Different types of installation: The most commonly used type of attachment is fixed wall mounting, where the holder of the basket or shelf is screwed to the wall. The advantage is a firm and solid connection to the wall, even under higher loads. An equally popular type is hanging the hanging shower basket. It usually finds its place over the fixed shower partition wall or a fixture. The positive aspect is clearly no drilling and easy removal. Freestanding shower containers require no drilling and can be repositioned easily at any time. Shower shelves for sticking or attachment with suction cups can only be recommended very limitedly by us, as there is always the risk of detachment and resulting damage.
What Shower Baskets and Shower Shelves are available?
Shower Basket: The classic shower basket has the classic basket shape and is firmly mounted on the wall. Available in various sizes according to wishes and needs. There are also corner variants.
Utensil Holder: The hanging basket is usually hung over the fixed part of the shower enclosure, has the basket shape, and offers plenty of support for your bottles. The partly available 2-tier solutions create additional space. Another type of hanging basket is the basket for the shower fixture. It is simply hung over the part of the wall fixture and holds various shower Cleaning Products there.
Shower Shelves: The shower shelf often consists of a smooth surface with drip slots or holes. Some equipment variants offer a railing or an edge for securely holding shampoo bottles on the shower shelf. Usually mounted by wall installation. Various sizes and lengths are possible. It is suitable for most shower applications as a practical storage option.
Shower Container: The container can be freely placed anywhere, for example where there is a window, a bench, or a walk-in shower. Simply place shower gel and shampoo inside, and the whole area looks tidy and organized. The Shower Containers are also often used as Utensil Holders to place on the pre-wall, at the toilet, or the washbasin. Many of these models are also available as Wall-mounted for fixed installation.
Tip: Do you also use a Shower Squeegee? Check out Shower Baskets or Shelves that have an integrated squeegee or the possibility to hold one or have a hanging device.

What size should my Shower Basket or Shower Shelf have?
The size of the Shower Basket or Shower Shelf should be based on personal needs and the number of bathroom users. For 2-3 shampoo types, 20 cm shelves/baskets are sufficient. For 4-5 people, we recommend a size of about 30-40 cm. If more space is needed, one should opt for larger variants or possibly even multiple Shower Baskets to accommodate all required Cleaning Products and Utensil Holders. It should be noted that overfilled baskets can easily look untidy, while neatly arranged shampoo bottles can contribute positively to the overall impression of the shower system.
Where should the Shower Basket be installed in the shower?
This point mainly concerns the fixed Shower Baskets and Shelves. Since all others offer hardly any possibilities to change this due to their design. A conveniently reachable height starts roughly at chest height and should not end much above head height to always ensure good and easy accessibility. If there is enough space in the shower, one should consider mounting the Shower Baskets largely out of the spray area of the shower head to prevent constant wetting. However, this can only be realized in very few showers. A non-optimal height would be the elbow area, as people need the most space there while showering due to movement. Not to forget when positioning are children, who should possibly be able to reach the shower Utensil Holder on their own.
How should my Shower Basket or Shower Shelf be maintained?
You should regularly clean your Shower Basket or Shower Shelf with common bathroom cleaning products. We generally advise against using overly aggressive agents, not only for environmental reasons but also to protect the installed bathroom fixtures. Depending on the material of the Shower Basket or Shelf, you should follow the care instructions from the manufacturers, which are included with most packaging. This ensures that you will enjoy your new Shower Baskets and Shelves for a long time.
Shower Baskets as well as Shower Shelves offer practical and visually appealing storage options in the bathroom to comfortably hold shampoo, shower gel, and more. However, some factors should be considered when choosing to find the right selection for your own bathroom. In our shop, you will find a large selection of high-quality Shower Baskets and Shower Shelves.
Which Shower Shelf is the best for me now?
Given the variety of options and criteria for selecting Shower Baskets and Shower Shelves, some may wonder: Which Shower Basket is best for my bathroom? This question cannot be answered universally, as the perfect choice depends on individual needs, available space, and personal style.
To find the best Shower Basket for yourself, you should consider which products you use daily, how much space they require, and how your bathroom is designed. A high-quality Shower Basket should not only be functional and large enough to hold all your shower utensils but also match the aesthetics of your bathroom and be easy to clean.
Ultimately, the best Shower Shelf is the one that meets your specific requirements and contributes to the design of your bathroom while bringing order and clarity to your shower.
