Why You Should Use a Toilet Paper Holder in Your Closet (It’s So Cute!)
A few weeks back, I discovered the most brilliant way to use a toilet paper holder in your kitchen: as a cabinet-mounted vase holder! I couldn’t believe how smart, simple, and easy it was (and neither could readers). Not to mention, chic! I knew there were more ways to use this household basic elsewhere in the home, and luckily, I just learned how you can use it in your closet.
In this Instagram Reel, you can see how creator Crystal Ransons attaches the vintage-style toilet paper holder to the side of her cabinet and uses it as a vessel to hold flowers, candles, utensil crocks, potted plants, cooking oil, and more. But this ingenious hack doesn’t have to stop there. Put one on your closet wall to store belts, jewelry, or even motion-activated lighting.
How to Make This Closet Storage Trick Work
Shockingly, I know, but installation is the same process as for cabinets: Decide where you want it, screw your toilet paper holder into your wall, cabinet, or closet storage system — if you’re able to drill holes into it, of course — and you’ve got sleek storage for smaller or hanging items in an instant.
I would put a cute glass jar in the holder for accessories like jewelry, clips, or other things I want to be semi-hidden, but you could also add hooks so you can hang belts, scarves, necklaces, or hats on it. You might also add additional lighting or a flameless candle, or a scented freshener or mothball repellent to keep your closet (and clothes!) fresh. If you have a TV or remote-controlled AC or other feature in your bedroom or closet, it’s also the perfect spot for your remote!
Any toilet paper holder in this shape will work for this smart trick, but I’m impartial to this stunning vintage-inspired version. It comes in brass, black, and gold, so there’s surely one to match your bedroom decor. And if you’re not ready to break the drill out, you could attach the same toilet paper holder with wall-safe adhesive so it’s renter-friendly. If you’re looking to elevate storage in your closet, kitchen, bathroom, or even living room in a snap, time to add it to your cart ASAP!
