If you're limited on space and don't love the look of your reusable bag, try hanging it on the back of your bathroom door to create a bit of hidden storage for your extra TP.

Alternatively, you could place a hook anywhere you'd like to keep your additional toilet paper storage, such as above the toilet for convenience.
