Spare toilet paper rolls are a must-have for bathrooms, and style-conscious homeowners are always searching for more creative ways to store extra paper rolls. Instead of taking up unnecessary space in linen closets and on open shelves, you can stow extra toilet paper rolls in a fashionable upcycled plant stand.
The TikToker detailswithdom upgraded a trendy, modern-style plant stand into a chic and practical toilet paper holder. They took a geometric, cylindrical design similar to the Billie Gold Cross Marble Plant Stand, which has a diameter that's slightly larger than a toilet paper roll. It's hollow inside and tall enough for multiple toilet paper rolls. The TikToker tucked a few rolls inside, easily turning it into an aesthetically pleasing holder.
The narrow space between a toilet and the wall is usually left unused, as not many things should be in close proximity to this home plumbing fixture. This space is often reserved for plungers and toilet brushes, but you could also set up this TikToker's toilet paper holder hack. The upcycled plant stand gives this space a functional and aesthetic boost, and it keeps spare rolls in close so you never fear running out. The open design makes it easy to tell when you're running low on spare rolls and need to pick up another pack.
How to make this chic and easy toilet paper holder
Start this DIY by searching for a similar plant stand. The original DIYer used a Jonathan Adler-branded product, but you can use any cylindrical planter with a similar design and the proper dimensions to hold toilet paper rolls. It should be over 4 inches in diameter and at least 14 inches high to hold the three leftover rolls from a standard four-pack. The aforementioned Billie Gold plant stand already has a marble top.
@detailswithdom DIY Toilet Paper Holder Hack✨ 1. Started with a leftover plant stand base (the top was missing anyway). 2.

If your chosen plant stand is missing the stone topper, there are just a few extra steps. Find a round travertine or marble tray with the same diameter as the plant stand, or larger. Also pick up a silicone glue that works on both metal and stone, such as GE's All Purpose Silicone Caulk. Apply a thin line of glue around the bottom of the plant stand, attach the marble tray, and let it harden for at least 30 minutes, or however long the glue manufacturer recommends.
At this point, fill the upcycled planter with toilet paper rolls, and shove it into its designated bathroom corner. Also consider combining this idea with other methods that make toilet paper storage more beautiful. Try wrapping the spare rolls in tissue paper or paper hand towels to protect the toilet paper and give it a more unique look. If you typically buy larger, bulk-size packages of this household essential, use this idea alongside other hidden toilet paper storage hacks. Truly optimize your bathroom's interior design by picking up similar-style toilet brushes and plungers, such as the Zahari Home Deep & Sturdy Toilet Brush Holder and Zahari Home Toilet Plunger.
