Clawfoot Tub Soap Baskets and Bath Caddies

One drawback of Clawfoot tubs is that their narrow, and typically rounded, rims do not facilitate the storage of bathing items. Additionally, storage on selves and ledges outside of the tub is also often not a convenient option since clawfoot tubs are often full enclosed by a shower curtain surround. Fortunately, storage for your bathing necessities can be added to clawfoot tubs by adding one or more of the three common types of clawfoot soap basket accessories.

Clawfoot tub rim mounting soap baskets offer a simple storage solution. Also known as over-the-rim soap dishes, rim mounting soap baskets have an arm that arches over clawfoot tubs rim to hang the soap basket on the side of the bathtub. Larger over-the-rim soap baskets feature a separate compartment for a loofah or sponge.

If your clawfoot tub has a shower enclosure attachment, shower riser mounting soap baskets becomes another storage option. Riser mounted soap baskets are similar in size and design to over-the-rim soap baskets but attach to the shower riser pipe. We recommend considering riser mounted soap baskets that have deeper compartments in addition to the soap dish as these compartments can be used to store shampoo and conditioner.

The clawfoot tub shelf, or bath caddy, is another option that provides even greater storage capacity. Tub shelves stretch from side-to-side to bridge the clawfoot tub walls. They have adjustable arms to fit most clawfoot tubs. Tub shelves usually feature three side-by-side storage compartments. However, some bath caddies include additional features that tend to non-bathing items associated with relaxation aspects of the bathing experience like book stands and candle holders.
