Bathroom tissue isn't glamorous, but hiding it away entirely never works for long. No, that backup stash needs to be at least partially on view and fairly handy — for you and for guests who may not know where you've stashed the jumbo pack and don't want to ask. So how to keep the toilet paper tucked away, reachable, yet unadorned by crochet? The Houzz community unrolls 11 clever solutions:
No worries here. The full contents of the jumbo pack blends right in with this all-white cabin bathroom and makes great use of otherwise wasted space above the door.
Love the wall of pockets turning TP into art. . .wonderful! Since that is not an option at my rustic cabin in the mountains, I copied the idea of the window box except mine is white.
I would be so tempted to play tic-tac-toe with the wall three photos down.
I was taught to leave the empty cardboard tube on the toilet seat if I couldn't find a new roll, to give fair warning to the hapless next occupant. These solutions are better!
I don't like to see extra rolls of toilet paper out for two reasons. I don't think they are very decorative and also I feel like they are getting "dirty" setting out. I know, worrying about toilet paper getting dirty is kind of stupid. LOL I have a small tower I bought from WM of all places, that I store my paper in. It has a neat little wainscoting door and sides and the top is a kleenex box holder.
We like to keep a plunger by our toilets, just in case. The handles make excellent toilet paper holders; most can stack 4 rolls easily. The rolls are easily enough removed if the plunger is needed.
LOL. I use the plunger too. I love a bit of humour in powder rooms...the "use at your own risk" sign above the toilet killed me. Canadians love humour!
I have a blue and white porcelain umbrella stand that I use to hold spare TP rolls in my powder room-it holds four, and keeps them clean and mostly out of sight.
I have a small white beadboard cabinet on the wall over the toilet, holds anything a guest would need while in the bathroom. I do love the umbrella stand idea, tho. I'll be on the lookout for one!
gknee, I am thinking the same thing! the splash factor makes me not want my toilet paper out and about the base of the toilet... although I might try the plunger idea!!
I used to have mine on a hook hanging neatly on the side of the cistern. Unfortunately since the the earthquakes this proved that my water overflowed laterally during quakes so I've temporarily put them on the windowsill. You've given me some good ideas - I'll probably use the over the door suggestion only with a ledge to stop them falling in aftershocks.
Thank you!
I have mine in a very tall, clear glass wide mouth vase from HomeGoods. It fits a whole six-pack, is tall enough to keep the TP clean, and actually looks pretty artsy.
In our small downstairs bathroom, the vanity is right next to the toilet. There is a storage bin for toilet paper on the *inside* of the vanity door, so when needed, you just reach, open, and grab. I *really* don't want to look at a stack of toilet paper sitting out in the open :-). The rest of it is stored in a hand-made furniture piece on the opposite wall, and we're sure to keep the easily reached bin on the inside of the vanity door, stocked.
