When you rent a home, the shower is one of the trickiest problem areas to add storage to. They're often small, cramped, and you're often not allowed to drill additions in.
Enter: the Freestanding Corner Shower Caddy available at Home Depot, the smartest solution I've ever seen.
With four adjustable shelves, a towel bar, and a handy hanging hook, it uses a damage-free tension pole to stay in place, making it an ideal shower storage idea for all rental properties.
The freestanding corner shower caddy that quadruples storage space
With four adjustable shelves, differing in size from small to large, there's plenty of space for all your bottles, creams and jars on this genius shower caddy. Using a tension pole, there's no installation drilling damage.
I don't know about you, but I seem to always have multiple shampoos, conditioners, body washes, and soaps on the go at once. While I love the variety of my routine, I hate the clutter and mess it causes in my shared shower.
So, while looking for a drill-free, quick, and easy renter-friendly solution, I came across the Freestanding Corner Shower Caddy available at Home Depot, a brilliant bathroom wall storage idea for even the smallest of spaces.
Using a space-saving adjustable tension rod with non-slip feet, it's quick and easy to install and built to last, made of rust-resistant carbon steel construction, perfect for organizing a modern bathroom.
The best thing about this small bathroom storage idea? It features four adjustable shelves for fitting taller bottles with ease, each of which can withstand up to 11 lbs, providing more than enough sturdy storage space.
Chiana Dickson, Solved content editor on Solved agrees that this is one of the best renter-friendly shower storage solutions. She says, 'I live in a rental property, and constantly struggle with the need for more space, particularly in my bathroom.
'Having to organize a small home with no storage and find small storage-less home solutions, I really appreciate products like this – which solve a particular problem without damage or fuss. Plus, with this shower caddy, there's even enough storage for a shared household.'
If you currently have a less hardy shelf stuck suctioned on, or balance your shampoos on the lip of the bath or shower floor, this will quadruple your storage in a matter of minutes.
However, if you need yet more storage space, simply pair this corner caddy with adhesive shower shelves, like Punteha van Terheyden, head of Solved, who says hers have stayed up for four years without budging, adding, 'They're unbelievably strong on the adhesive, but still peel off without damage. It's pure wizardry.'
Punteha uses a corner shower caddy, such as the Yazoni Corner Shower Caddy available at Amazon, but there are plenty of other alternatives available, too.
In my own home, we use the Joseph Joseph Duo Shower Caddy Shelf Organiser available at Amazon, and have no issues with it falling down.
The four-tiered Home Depot corner caddy is not just suitable for bathrooms. This versatile corner caddy can also be used as part of your small kitchen storage ideas, for organizing a small walk-in closet, holding small tools, nuts, and bolts when organizing a garage, and is even suitable for use in an RV.
Really, this can be used anywhere you're in need of some space-saving ways to use vertical storage.

While we both recommend this corner shower caddy, there are some bathroom storage organizers that Chiana regrets buying. Watch out for freestanding open shelving, flimsy drawers and suction shower shelves, she warns.
