11 Clever Toilet Paper Storage Ideas
Buying toilet paper in bulk saves time and money. We love our stockpiling customers who are always one roll (or twelve) ahead. Your preparedness makes us weep with joy and then grab a box of tissues.
But let's be honest—a mountain of toilet paper rolls isn't doing your home decor any favors.
There’s good news, though. We have plenty of clever and convenient ways to store your TP stash without sacrificing style.
The bad news is that you must decide which idea you love the most. Decisions, decisions!
1. Built-in cabinet
For those who prefer a traditional, minimalist look, use a built-in cabinet. Install a slim storage piece that fits next to your toilet.
Choose an option with adjustable shelves to accommodate different roll sizes and maximize storage capacity. Add a pop of color by picking a unique knob or peel-and-stick wallpaper pattern.
It's a simple and effective way to keep your TP tucked away while maintaining easy access.
2. Hidden drawer in a mirror cabinet
In small bathrooms, every inch of storage matters! Elevate your mirror cabinet game with a hidden compartment.
This clever functionality keeps your TP out of sight and maximizes existing space. The main cabinet still has room for other essentials like toiletries or medications, so it's a win-win for organization and convenience.
Keep in mind that hidden storage won’t be apparent to guests, so keep an extra roll out in the open in case of emergencies.
3. Vertical pull-out drawer
Integrate a vertical pull-out drawer into your bathroom vanity for sleek, concealed storage. This space-saving solution is perfect for storing multiple rolls without wasting valuable counter space.
The vertical design ensures easy access to each roll, and the smooth gliding mechanism adds a touch of luxury to your bathroom routine.
If you’re concerned about customization costs, consider how it will pay off later. House Digest recommends adding bathroom storage to increase future buyer interest. Addressing limited space now is a wise investment that justifies a higher price tag.
4. Hollow stool storage
No one will guess you keep extra TP rolls in a stylish footstool. Enter extra seating that doubles as a clever hiding place. Opt for a hollow stool or ottoman with a removable lid to discreetly store several rolls.
Choose a stool that complements existing decor, whether a rustic wooden design or a modern upholstered piece. It's an unexpected way to keep your toilet paper stash under wraps.
5. Custom recessed shelves
Add custom, recessed shelving within your bathroom walls for a seamless solution. It modernly integrates your TP stash into the powder room's design.
Choose a single niche or go for multiple shelves to accommodate more rolls. Paint or stain the wood for added flair. The recessed design maximizes space and keeps the toilet area uncluttered.
6. Floating shelves with rails
Floating shelves with front rails hold your rolls securely and create an elegant display. This concept is ideal for those who want to incorporate toilet paper into their bathroom décor and save floor space.
Play with the shelf placement, arranging linens and wall decor for a holistic visual concept. Mix and match different shelf sizes and finishes for a unique look.
Want to make it a full-on DIY project? Choose your own rail hardware and install it onto the wood panels of your choice.
7. Repurpose a wine rack
Give a wine rack a new lease on life. Store your toilet paper rolls horizontally, adding a quirky and unexpected element to any bathroom décor. This is a great way to add personality and charm to your space.
Choose a wine rack from a secondhand or antique store to make this a one-of-a-kind piece. It's a conversation starter and a functional storage solution. (PS, more item reuse ideas this way).
8. Artistic wall display
It wouldn’t be the first time toilet paper became an art inspiration. Arrange rolls on a decorative wall-mounted grid or pattern to create a visually interesting and functional display.
Challenge your creativity with different designs and patterns to match your bathroom's aesthetic. It’s a whimsical way to generate storage space that keeps toilet paper within easy reach.
9. Over-the-door organizer
Secure an over-the-door shoe organizer to the back of your door to hold multiple rolls. This vertical space hack is particularly useful for those in apartments or other small bathroom spaces.
The organizer's clear pockets allow you to see exactly how many rolls you have left, making it easy to stock up when needed. Plus, the versatile storage solution also holds other bathroom essentials.
10. Toilet paper tree
Invest in a freestanding toilet paper tree that holds several rolls in a vertical arrangement. This sculptural piece will add a touch of sophistication to your bathroom.
Choose a tree with a sturdy base and a design that complements your other décor. Think of it as a functional piece of art that elevates the look of your bathroom and keeps rolls organized.
11. In plain sight for decoration
If your toilet paper is appealing to the eye, there’s no need to hide it. Stack a few rolls on the windowsill, perch them on the toilet tank, or arrange them in a decorative basket.
With bold colors and playful patterns, Who Gives A Crap collections are meant to be displayed. We currently have a limited poetry edition that challenges customers to create odes to their commodes. Become the Bard of the bathroom with your own set.
Once a fresh roll is needed, don’t put that beloved wrapping in the trash. Many customers use it as art, gift wrap, planters, and much more.
