Anyone with a small bathroom knows the frustrations that can arise in a tiny shower, including balancing pricey products on precariously-small ledges, bumping into bottles at every turn, and finding enough space to hang your towel until you turn the faucet off. If any of the aforementioned annoyances resonate with you, you've come to the right place.

As apartment dwellers, we know from experience how aggravating a bathroom with minimal storage space can be, so we've compiled some of our go-to organizational tools for saving luxe products from the ledge.

From shower shampoo holders to hanging caddies and ladder storage systems, these 11 bathroom buys will help prevent your products from slipping off the bathtub edge ever again. Because when you're splurging on $45 soap, the stakes are surprisingly high. (No judgment here—we love our luxury bathroom products, too.) After scrolling through this article, consider your shower storage sorted.

Read on to organize your shower, soaker tub, towels, robes, and more with the best products to make your bathroom your own personal oasis.

Barrel Shower Caddy

Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters Barrel Shower Caddy $49.00
Shop

An upgraded take on your typical shower caddy, this wood version would look sleek in even the tiniest of bathrooms. With two separate shelves, there's plenty of room to store all of your daily shower needs—but the best part is their size. This caddy's shelves are extra deep to fit those oversized bottles of shampoo, and they even come with built-in razor holders and hooks to hang your favorite loofah or comb.

Dip-Dyed Shower Stool

Serena & Lily
Serena & Lily Dip-Dyed Shower Stool $88.00
Shop

Tuck this stool in the corner of your shower if you're short on bathroom space for storing your shampoo, conditioner, and soap bottles. With a small surface area, it won't take up too much room at the bottom of the tub. Arrange other small items like razors, shower combs, or trays for bar soap to save space in your shower caddy.

Shower stools are especially handy if you have a clawfoot tub: With minimal options for hanging caddies (and no place for suction shelves), a stool can provide the necessary surface for all your daily cleansing products.

Flex Shower Soap Dish

Umbra
Umbra Stick-Up Flex Shower Soap Dish $6.00
Shop

If you have a standard shower with tiled walls, you've got plenty of options for detachable shelves to create extra surface room (even when it's not built-in). This flex soap dish suctions to the shower walls, adding an extra spot for your favorite bar soap. Pair it with corner trays or wide wall shelves to maximize storage space.

Bathtub Tray

West Elm
West Elm Aquala Bathtub Tray $40.00
Shop

Ideal for a shower that also doubles as a bathtub, this caddy can act as a storage shelf when you're not relaxing in a hot tub of water with a good book. Place it on the back end of your shower to easily grab shampoo and conditioner bottles, soap, or razors. Bonus: In a light walnut finish, the warm wood hues add a natural, inviting touch to make your bathroom feel like a spa right at home.

Toothbrush Holder

Tooletries
Tooletries Mighty Toothbrush Holder $23.00
Shop

This wall-mounted shower container has an ingenious slot designed to hold your razor, a small shelf for stowing jewelry, and a pocket just large enough for your toothbrush and toothpaste. If you're a fan of brushing your teeth in the shower each morning, you're probably familiar with the age-old problem of the brush getting knocked off the caddy as you pick up soap bottles. Keep your toothbrush clean and fresh by storing it in a safe place designed especially for small bathroom accessories.

Over-the-Toilet Ladder With Baskets

Pottery Barn
Pottery Barn Ainsley Over-the-Toilet Ladder with Baskets $109,229.00

While this leaning ladder isn't meant to go inside your shower, it makes efficient use of the space above your toilet (for which it was designed). With room for extra hand towels, soap bottles, facial cleansers, and more, you'll be able to keep your bathroom looking clean and fresh every day. Unlike many ladder organizers, this style comes with baskets perfectly fit for each shelf with a sleek finish.

Over-The Door Tiered Storage Rack

Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters Over-The Door Tiered Storage Rack $69.00
Shop

This two-tiered shelving unit makes use of one of the most overlooked spaces in any bathroom: the door. If you have an abundance of hair products, makeup, or skincare accessories that take up space on the countertop, your surfaces will be cluttered no more. Store your daily necessities behind the door to reach everything easily when you need it (and keep it out of sight when you don't).

Flex Shower Caddy

Umbra
Umbra Flex Shower Caddy $20.00
Shop

This versatile caddy can be hung over your showerhead (as pictured) or hooked on your shower rod, depending on how you want to optimize your bathroom space. Since the hanging portion is detachable, this caddy is simple to install over the rod without taking the shower's hardware apart. And thanks to its simple storage racks, you'll be able to store shampoo and conditioner bottles easily without taking up too much depth in the shower.

Adhesive Organizer Bins

iDesign
iDesign Affixx Adhesive Organizer Bins $1,018.00
Shop

Keep scrubs, lotions, and oils conveniently located within arm's reach with this acrylic toiletries shelf. Rather than suctioning to your shower walls, this style of container is affixed with a long-lasting, durable adhesive strip that's easy to remove. Even better—this series of storage shelves can also be used in the kitchen to organize spices and other small items against the backsplash.

When you're adding suction shower organizers to your bathroom, try to arrange them on the back wall or the front wall underneath the shower head. During showers, you'll be thankful not to bump into your products on each side as you move around.

Corner Shower Bin

Umbra
Umbra Flex Gel Lock Corner Shower Bin $15.00
Shop

Make the most of your shower's corners by installing a few of these bins to stash your products in. Rather than a single horizontal shelf, it's easy to arrange several corner bins vertically to save space in your shower caddy. Use eye-level shelves for products you use daily, and save the lower shelves to have sugar scrubs, luxury soaps, and special bathroom items on hand when you want to indulge.
