Say Goodbye To Cluttered Showers: IKEA Has A Better Storage Solution And It's Only $3.99
When you're organizing a small space, it's a creative challenge in itself, but tiny bathrooms with little room for storage can be especially tricky to declutter. Towels, hygiene products, and everything else you use in the shower needs somewhere to go, and unless your bathroom is the size of a small apartment, you'll have to be at least a little picky about small bathroom storage. IKEA has a wide selection of inexpensive bathroom products, including organizing solutions for tiny spaces like the TÅNGHÄLLAN Shower Basket. At $3.99, this compact caddy can be purchased as a standalone piece or in multiples to create a tiered organizer in your bathtub or shower stall. Because there's no hardware required for installation, it's also a safe pick for renters who can't drill into their walls.
Made from sturdy plastic that's 50% recycled, the TÅNGHÄLLAN basket measures 11½ by 12¼ inches with a 5 inch depth. It has an integrated hanger that can be hung from your cold water inlet, a wall hook, or a shower wall rail. Due to the material, the basket should not be attached to the hot water inlet or shower doors and walls that are made from glass. There's a hidden opening at the basket's base that allows you to hang a second basket from the first, though IKEA recommends connecting no more than two baskets at a time. If you're thinking of adding a third basket regardless, consider the weight of said basket and its stored contents, which could put extra strain on the top basket and cause unnecessary damage. Drain holes at the bottom of the basket prevent it from holding water.
The TÅNGHÄLLAN basket uses vertical space to corral your everyday shower products
If you only have a walk-in shower or a bathtub with edges too narrow for storage, then utilize a clever storage solution with the vertical space in your bathroom to keep your essentials off of the floor. The TÅNGHÄLLAN basket not only takes advantage of empty wall space, it also takes seconds to install and can be moved around at will. You can use it to store bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and shaving cream as well as shower tools like washcloths, loofahs, small brushes, razors, and more. All of those items on their own can easily get knocked over or create visual clutter in the bathroom, but the TÅNGHÄLLAN basket can "hide" it in plain sight. Based on its dimensions, it can effectively hold bottles that are under 5 inches in diameter and under 12 inches tall, if placed on a lower, second basket.
IKEA shoppers have found more ways to use the basket that go beyond typical bottles and containers, leaving the product with a 4.7-star rating. One reviewer from the United Kingdom says, "Previously had a shower pole, but it took up a lot of space and limited showerhead movement. Saw this in IKEA, hangs on shower taps perfectly!" The customer notes, "[It] Holds four bottles, cloth and soap, it's got plenty of space, and the holes help it clear the water. So happy with it!"
