More Shower Caddy Ideas For A Modern Bathroom

 

Bamboo Shower Caddy Options from Umbra and Simplehuman

Have you ever had to shower in a cubicle or open shower where there was nowhere to put anything? You have to hang on to the soap for dear life, kick the shampoo bottle open when you forget it’s on the floor beside you, and then find there’s no towel within reach to get dry enough to step away from the shower area?

Well, such things do happen, and are easy to prevent with a well designed shower caddy plus a towel bar or rack in the background. You can view shower caddies from two points of view. The first is convenience, and the second is décor. As with all bathroom furniture and accessories, they need to be functional; but if you have to buy something that is functional, why not make it decorative too?

From a décor and practical point of view, a bamboo shower caddy meets the needs of many bathroom owners. In fact, bamboo seems to be quite a popular material for giving a bit of sturdiness to the caddy to hold shower essentials such as soaps and shampoos. Two of the popular caddy brands that market bamboo caddies are Simplehuman and Umbra. An attractive example is the Bamshoo Shower Caddy by Umbra® which combines bamboo and stainless steel in a modern design with curved bamboo that makes it quite distinctive and unusual. The two shelves are sufficient for most showering needs, and this bamboo caddy fits securely over most shower arms. This Umbra caddy sells at about $40.

Another good looking example is the Bamboo Adjustable Shower Caddy by simplehuman®, which sells at about $50 more. This has a rubberized clamp for securing the caddy to the shower arm, and has shelving that is adjustable to your needs. You can adjust the shelves in a way that creates different design impressions and balance, or you can keep the shelves centered.

If you are not into bamboo, the Oxo Good Grips 1071355 3-Tier Shower Caddy meets basic needs for a suction type caddy. This model does seem to be popular with those Amazon customers who have left reviews. Rubbermaid and Zenith Products present other options too.
