This Is the Smartest Way to Store Toilet Paper (It’s Pretty, Too!)

Despite being a two-person household, a Costco membership has been the key to saving money and time for my husband and me. Even with a smaller space, we take advantage of buying certain items in bulk, like toilet paper and paper towels. And while I appreciate being prepared, it’s still a struggle to find the space to store them.

I have a small bamboo bench in my bathroom that I use for towel storage and clothes I want to remember to steam for the next day. It also became the de facto storage space for my abundance of unopened toilet paper rolls that wouldn’t fit under my bathroom sink or in our guest bathroom (because, yes, the Costco pack is that large). Needless to say, the loose rolls add visual clutter to my bathroom — that is, until I found an aesthetically pleasing solution to my problem: the Livole Bamboo Toilet Paper Storage Basket.

In my search for sleek, smart toilet paper storage, I stumbled upon the Livole Bamboo Toilet Paper Storage Basket on Amazon and knew it’d do just the trick. At 17 1/2 inches tall, 17 1/2 inches wide, and 7 inches deep, the bin holds a generous 36 liters: enough for 12 mega rolls or 16 regular rolls of toilet paper. The exterior of the bin is made of durable bamboo that’s naturally moisture- and insect-proof, and it comes with a removable breathable cotton liner. The lid is attached with rings so it’s impossible to misplace, there are two rope handles for easy moving, and the base has holes for extra ventilation. Best of all, it requires no tools to build!

My bathroom has a lot of gray, so I loved the warm tones and natural texture of the bin to spruce up my bathroom while also matching my bench. I also liked that it resembles a laundry hamper so it’s not too obvious that it’s meant for toilet paper. Most importantly, it fit perfectly under my jewelry cabinet mirror.

Its slim construction also means you can place it just about anywhere in your bathroom, like hidden beside your toilet. If you love the look but already have a good spot for your toilet paper, the bamboo bin also works as a laundry hamper, bedroom storage, recycling bin (if you use a trash bag instead of the liner), or for other miscellaneous items throughout the home. Whatever you decide to store in it, this bin is a practical way to store household essentials that actually looks good.
