4 genius ways to store toilet roll that will save you space and look classy

Toilet rolls are one of the key bathroom essentials that cannot be replaced in homes, but depending on where you store them, they can make your bathroom look ugly and cluttered. Instead of letting toilet roll pile up on the floor or hog precious cupboard space, the right storage solution can free up room and elevate the whole look of your bathroom.

The best part is that you don't need to sacrifice aesthetics for function; there are clever ways to keep rolls accessible while still maintaining a clean, polished room. With the help of home experts at House Digest, there are four genius ways to store toilet rolls that will save space while making your bathroom look effortlessly classy. By thinking outside the box, even the most ordinary items can become part of your bathroom's design scheme.

1. Hanging baskets

Baskets have always been a popular storage solution for paper products, but you can take this idea a step further by mounting one on the wall to save space. The home expert shared: "Just add some large hooks or command hooks and place the basket securely on them.

"Choose a basket that fits your décor style and the number of rolls you want to store." John Lewis offers a range of affordable, large wicker basketsin different shapes and styles, but the Slouchy Seagrass Low Storage Basket, Natural, for £35, is a great option to mount to your bathroom wall.

2. Plant stand

A plant stand can double as a stylish holder for an extra roll of toilet paper right beside your toilet. Look for one that's designed to fit a small pot about the same size as your rolls, and it will work perfectly.

"You can even add a rod or paper towel holder on top of the plant stand to stack extra rolls." This Dante Plant Stand for £69 from Dunelm is a perfect choice for both great storage and a touch of elegance.

3. File holder

The House Digest specialist shared: "Wide file or magazine holders are perfect for stashing extra rolls. They are also compact enough to fit in a corner or the cabinet under the sink, where you can easily pull them out when needed.

"You could also attach them to the wall with screws if floor space is at a premium. Choose pretty holders in woven material or wire, or paint and decorate inexpensive plastic ones."

File holders can be found at most retailers, but we recommend browsing Amazon for the best options that match your bathroom's appearance. For example, the SAYEEC sturdy desktop four-section plastic magazine holder comes in three colours on Amazon for only £11.49 (down from £13.99 at the time of writing).

4. Wooden peg rack

Wooden peg racks make surprisingly clever toilet paper holders with just a quick update. Look for one with pegs long enough to hold rolls securely, then hang it horizontally over the toilet to keep everything within reach.

If wall space is tight, you can mount the rack vertically instead for a slim, space-saving solution. If your bathroom doesn't match the 'wood' aesthetic, then check out this white discreet peg rack for £9 at Argos.
