Small bathrooms demand clever fixes. IKEA’s new bargain shower basket offers an easy, renter-friendly way to stash shampoo, soap, and scrubbers without drilling, and it costs just $3.99. Lightweight, stackable, and made from partly recycled plastic, the TÅNGHÄLLAN shower caddy is designed to reclaim vertical space and tame bathtub clutter.
Why vertical storage is a game changer for tiny bathrooms

Riding lawn mower’s biggest problem: how to fix it
When floor space is scarce, the wall becomes prime real estate. The TÅNGHÄLLAN basket turns unused vertical areas into functional storage. It keeps bottles and accessories off the tub rim and shower floor. That reduces slips and makes cleaning faster.
- Clears visual clutter by grouping toiletries in one place.
- Protects fragile items like glass soap dispensers from getting knocked over.
- Works in walk-in showers and tubs with narrow edges.
How it mounts and where to hang it
The basket attaches without tools. It uses an integrated hanger that slips over a cold water inlet, a wall hook, or a shower rail. This makes it especially useful for renters or anyone who wants a no-drill option.
Installation tips
- Hang from the cold water inlet or a secure wall hook for best support.
- Avoid hanging on hot water inlets; heat can deform the plastic.
- Do not attach to glass shower doors or glass walls; they may crack or slip.
- The molded hanger lets you move the caddy quickly to clean or reposition.
Product details: size, materials, drainage, and stacking
The TÅNGHÄLLAN basket is made from sturdy plastic with 50% recycled content. Its footprint and design focus on efficiency and durability.
- Dimensions: roughly 11½ by 12¼ inches, 5 inches deep.
- Material: durable plastic, 50% recycled.
- Drainage: holes in the base prevent water buildup and mildew.
- Stacking: a concealed bottom opening allows hanging a second basket from the first.
IKEA recommends using no more than two baskets linked together. Adding a third can increase strain on the top hanger. Always consider the combined weight of bottles and accessories before stacking.
How much it holds and what fits best
The caddy is sized to hold everyday shower essentials. It fits most standard bottles and tools while keeping them upright and accessible.
- Bottles under 5 inches in diameter fit comfortably.
- When used as a lower basket in a two-tier setup, it can accommodate bottles up to about 12 inches tall.
- Good for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shaving cream, razors, loofahs, and washcloths.
Drain holes keep items from sitting in water and help products dry faster.
Creative ways people are using the TÅNGHÄLLAN
Shoppers have found uses beyond the typical—turning the basket into a spot for cleaning brushes, kids’ bath toys, and even extra storage for shower accessories. Its compact design makes it versatile across bathroom layouts.
- Hang one basket for essentials and a second lower one for bath toys or larger bottles.
- Use it near the sink to corral hand soap, toothbrush holders, and small skincare products.
- Place two in tandem to create a mini shelf system without hardware.
Customer impressions and rating highlights
Early buyers have praised the basket for its simplicity and value. The product has high ratings for usefulness and ease of installation. Users note it holds multiple bottles, drains well, and frees up space previously occupied by a bulky pole-style organizer.
Real-world benefits include more shower movement, less clutter, and a quick way to reorganize without tools or damage to walls.
Price and where to buy
At $3.99, the TÅNGHÄLLAN shower basket is priced to be accessible. It can be purchased in-store and online at IKEA. Because of the low cost, many shoppers buy multiples to build a tailored storage solution for their bathroom.
