Your Shower Shelf Isn’t Just for Shampoo: Add Storage After the Tile Is Finished


You finally have the tile shower you’ve been dreaming about. The tile is finished, the grout is done, everything looks beautiful…and then you realize something. What if you need to add a shower shelf after tile is installed?
Where are you supposed to put everything?
Maybe your contractor forgot the shower shelf. Maybe you decided against a niche and now regret it. Or maybe you’ve been living with bottles on the shower floor for years and you’re finally ready to do something about it.
Here’s the good news: you can add a shower shelf after your tile is already installed.
Yes, You Can Add a Shelf to an Existing Tile Shower
Traditional shower niches and many shelving systems have to be planned before or during tile installation. That’s exactly the problem the GoShelf System was designed to solve.
GoShelf is a retrofit corner shower shelf system that can be installed in an existing tiled shower without tearing out your finished tile or starting another remodeling project.
That makes it a great solution for homeowners whose contractor forgot the shelf, DIYers who realized they need more storage, or anyone who simply wants to upgrade an existing shower.
Instead of designing your entire shower around your storage, you can decide afterward where your shelves make the most sense.
Add More Than One Shower Shelf After Tile Is Installed!
We love seeing how GoShelf customers customize their showers.
Kevin, a GoShelf customer from Philadelphia, installed three GoShelf shelves at different heights in his finished tile shower. His setup gives him plenty of convenient storage without adding a bulky hanging shower caddy.
But our favorite part might be what’s sitting on the top shelf.
A plant! 🌿
Because who decided shower shelves were only supposed to hold shampoo?
Turn Your Shower Into a Little Green Escape
Adding greenery to a bathroom is an easy way to make the space feel warmer, more relaxing and a little more like your own private spa.
Bathrooms can also provide the warm, humid environment that some houseplants enjoy. The right plant will depend on the amount of natural light in your bathroom, so choose a variety suited to your particular space.
One thing plants shouldn’t replace, however, is proper bathroom ventilation. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends controlling bathroom moisture and using ventilation to help prevent excess humidity and mold.
So run that exhaust fan—and enjoy the plant because it looks fantastic!
A GoShelf can give you a dedicated spot for greenery without sacrificing the shelves you actually need for soap, shampoo and everything else.
GoShelf Isn’t Just for Shampoo
Once you stop thinking of a shower shelf as just shower storage, there are all kinds of possibilities.
Use one for your everyday shower products. Install another lower down as a convenient shaving shelf. Add one for decorative items or a humidity-loving plant. Families can even position shelves at different heights based on who uses the shower.
And because GoShelf is available in multiple sizes and more than 13 colors, you can choose a shelf that complements your existing tile instead of looking like an afterthought.
That’s the whole point: your tile is already finished, but your shower doesn’t have to be.
Forgot the Shower Shelf? It’s Not Too Late.
A finished tile job shouldn’t mean you’re stuck with a shower that doesn’t work for you.
Whether your contractor forgot to install a shelf, you bought a home with an existing tile shower, or you simply discovered that you need more storage, GoShelf gives you another option without starting the remodel all over again.
Add one shelf. Add three. Put your shampoo on it.
Or take a page from Kevin’s book and give your favorite plant the best seat in the shower. 🌿
