Hello,

we are considering which shower shelf would be practical for shampoo and similar items in a new build.

A shower niche is not possible (it would reduce the shower floor space and make the shower too small for us).

These shower baskets keep falling off ://

What alternatives are there for new builds that are also durable and visually appealing?

It should definitely be something sturdy and resistant, capable of holding a few kilograms.

In our old house, we didn’t have any shelving in our bathroom. I tied shampoos and shower gels to a nice ribbon and hung it from the ceiling. This way, they were accessible and out of the way. Just change the ribbon from time to time.

Cutting a hole somewhere, boxing it out, and then re-plastering it for a 10-12 cm (4-5 inch) deep niche can't be a problem, right? Or how thick is your wall?

To be honest, if I had drywall in the shower, I would know that. What I mean is: there are also shell constructions where that’s simply not an option. There are solid walls, and that’s that.
Especially when you’re building only about 130 square meters (1400 square feet) or so – there’s rarely space for that.

Here is my solution:

Black flat shelf with silver semicircular cutouts in a gray tiled corner.


Black flat metal shelf with half-round recesses mounted on a stone wall.


Modern shower with square shower base, gray tiles on the left, brown stone on the right, hand shower.

I wasn't aware of this until now. Are these installed by the tiler?

We had the tiler do the same in the children’s apartments.

Could you show how you attached the bottles? I think that’s a great idea (both the showing and the attaching 🙂)
