Smedbo Sideline Collection

Smedbo Sideline: shower storage built as a system

Sideline is the shower-organization collection within Smedbo's cabinet hardware catalog: corner baskets, shelves, and floor squeegees rather than one fixed accessory per bathroom. It's meant to be assembled piece by piece, a corner basket for shampoo, a second basket stacked below it, a squeegee hung nearby for the glass. Finishes run from polished and brushed chrome to brushed brass, giving Sideline more finish range than most of Smedbo's other lines carry in one collection.

How the pieces work together

Corner baskets come in single and double configurations, so a household with more shower products than a single basket holds can stack a second one below without buying a different design. The floor squeegee mounts on a self-adhesive hook rather than a fixed bracket, which keeps it within reach of the shower without a separate drilled mounting point. Shelves handle bottles too tall or wide for a basket to catch.

Choosing a finish for a wet space

Brushed chrome and brushed brass hide water spots better than polished chrome does, worth weighing for a shower that gets heavy daily use. Polished chrome reads brighter and pairs well with white or light tile, but it needs wiping down more often to stay spot-free. Because Sideline spans several finishes within one collection, a household can match a shower system to whatever finish is already on the vanity fixtures.

Planning a shower storage layout

Measure corner space before ordering a corner basket, since depth and width vary slightly between the single and double versions. Self-adhesive squeegee hooks need a clean, dry, non-textured tile surface to bond properly, so check the shower wall material before relying on adhesive mounting over a drilled one. A shelf or basket that mounts with screws holds more weight over time than an adhesive-only piece, worth factoring in if the shampoo and soap collection tends to grow.
