Overall Rating
When you have an ample-sized shower enclosure, the best option is to go for an over-the-door shower caddy to take advantage of the space provisions. Though it’s named over-the-door, these types of shower caddies can be placed also on non-door-like horizontal surfaces like, as mentioned, sides of shower enclosures and even a towel bar in some cases. If you’re indeed looking for an over-the-door shower caddy, possibly one best option you can certainly look at is this InterDesign Forma Bathroom Over Door Shower Caddy.
The InterDesign Forma is made by the storage solutions manufacturing company called InterDesign. In their About Us page, the houseware company bannered their 40-year experience in the industry and their mission to make everyday living easier with innovative products designed to help people organize and enhance their homes with style. There are already a handful of InterDesign-branded shower caddies reviewed on this website namely the InterDesign York Lyra, InterDesign RealWood, and InterDesign Metalo.
At first glance, you’ll certainly notice how modern and sleek the InterDesign Forma looks. Seeing how it’s shaped, the seamless bezels of the base of the over-the-door shower caddy is truly eye candy. Additionally, the color options depict a modern feel or vibe to it. Speaking of color options, the InterDesign Forma has three color options for you to choose from – satin, bronze, and matte black. The best color option if your undecided is arguably the satin one because you can pair it with any bathroom theme or motif.
Among the prominent features of the InterDesign Forma that makes it stand out compared to other over-the-door shower caddies are its two-inch hooks and two spacious baskets.

On one side, the InterDesign Forma’s hooks are two inches thick, making the hanging shower caddy fit most shower enclosure’s door and according to one buyer of the product, the hooks can swivel so you can adjust the angle of it as you please. Moreover, and an added plus, the hooks also have pads to protect the hanging shower caddy from scratching your precious shower enclosure. On the other, the baskets are spacious enough to fit most of your medium to large –bottled shower essentials. The over-the-door shower caddy also has three useful hooks where you can hang your razors and other shower accessories like loofahs. The base of the InterDesign Forma where the hooks are attached can also double as a nifty mini tower holder.
There is one notable cringe-worthy aspect of the InterDesign Forma though – it has no backside to support your shower essentials independently. It means that the hanging shower caddy relies on the solid surface it’s leaning on to in order to support your shower essentials from the back. It may be possibly an avant-garde design feature that InterDesign is thinking when drawing up the product concept of the Forma. On the flip side, it may be just a measure to keep the InterDesign Forma’s price down so that it would become more affordable compared to other over-the-door shower caddies.
Below are the pros of the InterDesign Forma. Please note that the pros listed below are not sponsored by InterDesign or Amazon, but rather, they are mere curations of verified reviews of the over-the-door shower caddy.
- Spacious. Despite the InterDesign Forma having no backside support, the over-the-door shower caddy turns out to be pretty spacious as it can fit several of your medium to large –sized bottled shower essentials in it with ease and stability. The spaciousness may be partly due to how its design and its suction cups are credited for the hanging shower caddy’s stability.
- Compact. A recent review of the InterDesign Forma praised how it perfectly fits even in small spaces because it can even be placed on a strategically located towel bars. The reviewer, Kay, said that their guest shower has no room for shower essentials to be placed on the edge of the tub. All it had is a towel rod or bar that was pretty useless because hanging a towel in the shower would get it soaked. The hanging shower caddy gave Kay plenty of room to load it up with all the toiletries a guest will need. Some reviewers also loved how over-the-door shower caddies are a great alternative to tension and free standing shower caddies that take up floor space.
Listed below are the cons of the InterDesign Forma. Likewise, the cons listed below are not in any way sponsored by InterDesign or Amazon. The cons are curations of verified reviews of the over-the-door shower caddy found on Amazon or on the Internet.
- Design Flaw. The InterDesign Forma’s design can be a double-edged sword – for one, its design may be the reason why the over-the-door shower caddy is deemed more affordable than other shower caddies of the same type. Second, the design may also be the reason for its spaciousness pro factor. But on the other hand, people which have no stable and appropriate surface to place it might despise its design, like one angry reviewer who ranted that the hanging shower caddy has a really dumb design concept.
- Rust Cases. The InterDesign Forma is coated with Thermobond Rust Resistant Coating to prevent it from, well, rusting. Thermobond is the same coating applied to several shower caddies already reviewed on this website. The problem is, Thermobond is not that reliable as evident to quite a handful of rust cases and those several shower caddies already reviewed. But rusting may also be partly due to several factors like water quality and humidity, so it’s really a case-to-case basis in the first place.
Overall, the InterDesign Forma is rated four stars out of five with plus points to its spacious and compact combination and a few negative points for the pre-requisite of having a stable surface for the over-the-door shower caddy to be placed on, and also for the rusting factor.
If you’re looking for an over-the-door shower caddy that is spacious and compact and you have a stable surface to place it on, go with the InterDesign Forma Bathroom Over Door Shower Caddy. Otherwise, another great alternative is the InterDesign Metalo.
