20 In Shower Shelf Ideas for Your Bathroom

If you're looking for a non-permanent solution to add more storage to your shower, this waterproof stool is an easy solution. The best part is that it doubles as a place to put your foot while shaving your legs (you're welcome, ladies!).

We added it to the double shower in our master bathroom a few years ago. I can safely say that it is definitely waterproof because it still looks great over four years later after almost every day of water exposure. If you have some extra floor space to spare in your shower space, give this stool a try.

For our kid's bathroom, we added a double shower niche for their bathtub/shower. For a bathtub and shower combination, it is a good idea to add two shower niches (one at a height that is for showering and one at a height that is easily accessible for people using the bathtub. Also having two recessed shelves gives us plenty of space to store items for both kids and guests.

This gorgeous walk-in shower with window features both a built-in bench with a slab of stone and a small recessed shelf tucked around the corner just under the handles.

By tucking the niche around the corner it is a little less seen - for those that don't want to make the shower niche a focal point in the shower. Whatever doesn't fit in the niche can be stored on the shower bench. 

This shower with dark green tile totally brings drama to this pretty bathroom. Under the built-in window, there's an extra wide built-in shower niche that has ample space for all the bathroom products you would need. 

 You've gotta click over and see the impressive before and afters of this bathroom design. Before there was only one super small shower corner shelf (big enough to hold like one bottle of shampoo) and a small soap holder.

As a part of the bathroom renovation, Sarah added a half wall to the shower area, which provides privacy, comfort, and storage.

At the same height of that half wall, there's a streamlined ledge in the shower that wraps under the shower control. It has just enough space for toiletries, shampoo, shower gel, and soaps. 

This shower/bathtub combo has a built-in shower shelf that is at a nice low level, making it easily reachable even if you're using the bathtub only. I love that the shower ledge is made with a marble slab, which brings a luxurious feel to the tile shower. 

This shower with subway tile has another double shower niche, which seems to be a great built-in storage solution for tile showers. The top niche is not quite as tall as the bottom one, making it a great spot to store smaller items, like a scrub brush, razor, or bar of soap. 

You've gotta see this stunning modern bathroom remodel with a gorgeous concrete tile accent wall with wall-mounted faucets over the sink. But I can't get over the large standing shower with the large shower shelf.

If you need a little extra space (and you know those standard-sized shower niches aren't going to work for you), something like this is the best way to make sure you have all the space you need.

Lindi and Russ went above and beyond with mitered corners on the edges of the niche to create the effect that the tiles "wrap" around the corners. That type of tiling will take a bit longer than you expect, but it is worth it!  

I just love the shower niche shelf in this modern bathroom! To make your shower niche shelves stand out, you can use a fun accent tile - like this chevron mosaic tile. It really stands out against the white/gray large marble tile that is used in the rest of the shower. 

If you redoing your entire shower tile isn't in your budget, a simple way to add storage to your shower is by adding a corner shower shelf.

This one is mounted in the shower and comes with mounting hardware to add it to the corner! This isn't attached with suction cups, but requires you to drill holes (so if you're renting this is out of the question) - but it means that it has a strong holding capacity!

Lauren also added a little wooden stool next to the side of the bathtub. This makes for a great place to sit while bathing little ones (to spare your back) or as a side table while you're taking a bath. 

This shower has corner shelves as well (which is a very popular type of shelf for the shower, as you can see). However, these corner shelves are built into the tiled shower for a seamless look. 

This corner shelf is also built into the shower tile design, so it is one of the more permanent shelves on this list. But I love the way it is tucked into the corner, so you don't lose a lot of floor space. It is also the perfect height for shaving legs, which is so handy! 

How cool is this modern black floating shower shelf? It is made of stainless, corrosion-resistant steel and has a perforated design that allows the water to flow freely out of the bottom.

It fits in great with the more modern look! It needs to be screwed in, but comes with caps that cover the screws so you can't see them. 

If you want a shower storage solution that doesn't require that you drill holes, check out this idea. This modern shelf hangs from the top of the shower door or wall. I love this idea! 

This sleek and modern bathroom shower shelf comes with strong adhesive tape, so it is also a no-drilling solution. The reviews are positive, mentioning that they were pleasantly surprised by how sturdy the adhesive is!

This idea is pretty genius! First, it is printed with a 3D printer - which is amazing.

Second, it is designed so that it sits on the top ledge of the shower enclosure and is mounted on the drywall. This makes it a good solution if you don't want to drill into your tile or shower! The drywall holes created by the screws can be easily filled and repainted (just like if you were hanging a picture frame on the wall). 

This is a great idea! The metal holder holds the pump bottles perfectly. It is designed to hold most 28mm pump bottles (most 16oz bottles use this pump size). But if you're worried your bottles won't fit, you can also buy the soap bottled directly from this seller. 

This shower corner caddy goes in the corner of the shower on a tension pole allowing you to fit the caddy between the floor and ceiling with no screws. There are four different shelves and various bars and hooks providing SO much space for all of your shower and bath products!

This shower caddy is placed over the door and has three spacious shelves. This is a popular option if you're renting or just want a simple solution that doesn't require a bathroom remodel! 

This set of five different shower shelves and baskets is perfect if you want to add a lot of different places to store various items in your shower or if you want to set up different shelves for each family member.
