Corner Shower Rod

One of the things to consider before you buy into your shower rod, is the cleaning process that will follow inevitably. When it comes to finishes like chrome and copper, you’re going to have constant blotches and water marks, so they don’t tend to look as good at all times; however, if you go with a brushed nickel shower rod, you’ll quickly realize how low maintenance this finish is. I’m not sure about you, but anything that’s lower maintenance is something that appeals to me!

The corner shower curtain rod is meant for showers that are positioned in the corner of a bathroom; therefore, your shower rod is shaped like an ‘L’ so that it fits right into the corner. One thing you’ll want to make sure you do when you buy a corner shower rod is to make sure you buy an extra support bracket, this way your rod will be extra sturdy once you set it up with the curtain and everything. The curtain is the next important thing you should check on. When you have an unusually shaped shower rod, you’ll want to make sure the shower curtain you buy is the right length to ensure it wraps around the entire shower.

Brushed Nickel Shower Organizer

Shower Organizer Types & Styles

One of the more common types of shower organizers are the ones that are portable and can be carried to and from where ever you shower. This style of shower organizers are generally more popular for students and/or young adults with shared housing who don’t have their own personal shower because this option allows them to keep all of their toiletries neatly bundled up in one, easy to transport container which lets them store everything in their room when not in use.

For those of us who do have personal bathrooms and showers and don’t have to worry about other people using, or taking our belongings, there are other, more stationary options. Options for more stationary shower organizers range from very simple, to quite elaborate, multipurpose designs.

The shower organizer shelf is the most basic kind of organizer and doesn’t require any sort of complicated installation methods, simply moisten the suction cups, stick it onto your shower wall, and presto! This kind of organizer does the trick, but it’s really basic and doesn’t really offer too much space unless you go with a powerlock shelf. The powerlock shelf is usually two shelves instead of just one and has two extra suction cups so you can pack both levels full of all your tubes, containers, and bottles without worrying about it falling off the wall.

Mesh shower organizers are the next step up from the basic shelf units. These organizers come with tons of storage room and are great for storing just about anything. The great thing about mesh shower organizers, is they are so versatile, and are designed to go not only into your bath or shower, but they can also be used in your closet to store socks, underwear, or any other kind of simple under garment that you don’t have drawer space for. The one downside to having a mesh organizer in your shower is their appearance. Mesh shower organizers typically hang from your nickel shower arm instead of attaching directly to your wall, so they don’t look all that flattering.

The ultimate kind of shower organizer is the wall mounted organizer/dispenser. This beauty mounts to your wall with super strong suction cups and allows you to fill the three dispensers with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or any of your other favorite essentials. This is a two in one package and really gives you great value for your dollar!

Over The Door Shower Caddy

Types of Over The Door Shower Caddies

An Over the Door Shower Caddy can be either be hung from a brushed nickel shower rod or it can obviously be hung over your shower door or shower wall if your shower is a free standing structure, and not built into a corner for example. You can also mount these little beauties on the side of your bathtub if you don’t have a shower enclosure.

Most of the time, these over the shower caddy units come equipped with adjustable and removable shelving and also have a soap dish that you can move around as well. The shelves on these units are adjustable and removable because there’s no standard size for a shampoo or conditioner bottles so you can move the shelves around in order to accommodate all of your containers and shower accessories.

In addition to these great and convenient features, most shower caddies can be found with special holders for your razors so you don’t have to worry about them dropping onto the ground and getting stepped on. Not only do these caddies come equipped with removable & adjustable shelving, a soap dish, and razors holders, but they also come with little hooks for anything else you don’t have a place for, using the aforementioned features. These hooks are great for hanging your washcloths on, your lufa, scrubbies, or anything else that doesn’t belong on a shelf.

Over the Door Shower Caddies come in all different styles and finishes designed to ‘caddy’ your every storage need in the shower. Along with all the different designs that are out there, you can choose from any number of finishes as well. Different finishes that shower caddies can be found in are most commonly brushed nickel shower caddies, chrome, bronze, oil rubbed bronze, plastic, and faux. If you’re not sure what finish would look best in your shower, then just take a browse around our website to better understand some of the pros and cons to brushed nickel shower parts compared to other common finishes.

Brushed Nickel Shower Hoses

In most cases, these fixtures are found not in the bathtubs of people’s homes, but rather in free standing, independent shower enclosures separate from the bathtub. Having a hand held shower head with a brushed nickel shower hose allows users a much greater range of motion while the mounting bracket also leaves open the option of keeping your shower head stationary. Being able to control where your shower water goes is a great feature to have regardless of how tall or short you are as it allows you to maximize your water usage and cleaning angles.

Types of Brushed Nickel Shower Hoses

Unlike nickel shower rods, there really aren’t a whole lot of different design types when it comes to nickel shower hoses; there are however, two predominant types. The first kind of shower hose comes with with a special end that allows you to remove your current shower head and replace it with the shower hose which is connected to a hand held shower head on the other end. This is the easiest way to install a hand held shower head and hose, but it’s bot usually the one that’s most preferred by people as it tends to look a little makeshift.

The second kind of shower hose is the kind that is installed directly into your wall and leaves your original shower head to function the same way as it normally would. Once the shower hose is installed, you can choose to take a shower using the hand held unit, your original shower head, or both. This kind of option is often times installed by a professional plumber and therefore costs you a little bit more money upfront, but the end result is much more appealing and adds more value to your home than the aforementioned does.

It’s easy to come to this conclusion, but a little more difficult to make a final decision on the type of shower caddy you want in your shower. That said, lets take a look at some the different styles and designs that are out there so you can start to get a better idea of what you want in your own shower.

Types of Brushed Nickel Shower Caddies

Brushed Nickel Shower Caddy - Tension Pole

Suction Shower Caddies- The brushed nickel suction caddy is a very common shower caddy and one of the more traditional ones that people usually think of when they think of a shower caddy. There’s two main styles for these shower caddies, but the principal is the same for both. The first one is a caddy that hangs from your brushed nickel shower arm and uses that as it’s primary support, then there would be a single suction cup near the bottom that simply presses up against the wall of your shower to secure the caddy into place so it doesn’t wiggle around or fall from the shower head. The second type of suction caddy is a little more sturdy and durable; this is the power lock shower caddies. The power lock shower caddy has four or more suction cups which allow it to be securely bonded to any wall in your shower as long as the walls are relatively smooth. These brushed nickel shower caddies usually cost a few bucks more than the aforementioned, but they’re worth it in my opinion.

Tension Pole Shower Caddy- Brushed nickel tension pole shower caddies are becoming more popular these days. The tension pole shower caddy is preferred by people with newly renovated showers because of their fancy look. The idea behind the tension pole shower caddy is simple, yet intuitive. Essentially, the caddy is a standard length pole with multiple baskets attached to it; you place the pole in the corner of your shower and use the ratcheting mechanism tighten the pole into place, so both ends are lodged between your ceiling and floor, hence the name “tension pole”.

Similar to the brushed nickel shower basket, you can also get shower caddies that simply rest on the floor of your shower without any sort of wall attachment form. These are less common because they’re usually a little more bulky and take up more space than the average person’s shower can afford to lose.

Regardless of the style shower caddy you choose, you can always find the finish you want whether it’s chrome, brushed nickel, oil rubbed bronze, or just plain old plastic. My only word of advice would be to take a look around the internet before buying in the stores because for shower accessories such as the caddy, you can often find much better deals online than you can in the stores.

Anyway, regardless of what you’re working with in terms of shower fixture finishes, a nickel shower basket is the perfect way to compliment any shower! There’s usually two different types of these shower baskets. The first kind is one for people who have spacious standing showers separate from their bathtub, which allows them to place the nickel shower basket directly into their shower, usually in the corner. Additionally, this kind of shower basket can also be found in two different primary styles as well.

Brushed Nickel Shower Basket

The difference in styles isn’t too great, but it can make a big difference when you’re in the shower because the one style sits on the ground in the corner of your shower and the other one has suction cups that allows you to smack it up onto the wall or in a corner depending. Personally, I prefer the ones with suction cups because I don’t like having to bend down and search through things when I’m in the middle of trying to take a shower.

The second popular kind of nickel shower basket is the pretty much the same as the one we just discussed, except it is left outside of your shower and doesn’t come in. This kind of shower basket is good for keeping spare wash clothes, soaps, body washes, razors, and any other kinds of spare shower ‘condiments’ you might need to have on hand when you run out of something. The size and design of shower baskets varies quite a bit, but generally speaking, they’re usually about 12-13 inches tall with two levels of shelving, and about 6-7 inches deep, which is good enough to easily store a couple full size bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the lower shelf.

Prices vary quite a bit with these shower baskets, especially brushed nickel ones. Similar to a brushed nickel shower faucet, head, arm, or door, the shower baskets that you find in stores or on the internet are often constructed from brass, then coated with a brushed nickel finish for optimum durability.
