You know that awkward little patch of cabinet space just next to your kitchen window. It feels too small for art but too bare to ignore. Instead of letting that space go to waste, why not turn it into something that is both beautiful and functional? This clever DIY turns a wall-mounted toilet paper wire basket into a sleek, wall-hugging vase or planter. With just a few budget-friendly supplies and about five minutes of your time, you can create a minimalist display that instantly adds charm and purpose to any small wall space. 

To do this DIY, you'll need a simple wall-mounted wire toilet paper holder, like the Kelelife Vintage Toilet Paper Holder. Most come with everything you'll need for installation, including screws, drywall anchors, and a hex bolt for extra support. The end result is surprisingly chic. Your friends and family will never guess its original purpose. Toilet paper holders aren't the only thing you can repurpose into a flower holder. If this project gets you in the upcycling spirit, here are 7 household items that can be repurposed into beautiful flower vases.

To get started, mount the wire basket on the side of a cabinet, bookshelf, or a wall near natural light. It works especially well tucked beside a kitchen window or bathroom vanity. Use the included screws to secure it. If you're placing it into drywall, make sure to use the wall anchors for added grip. Once it's mounted, drop in a slim vase or mason jar filled with fresh flowers or snip a few herbs from your garden and place the whole pot inside. Lavender, rosemary, or eucalyptus add a fragrant, earthy touch that's both pretty and practical. If you're not sure what to plant, here is a list of herbs that will grow best in your kitchen.

A vintage brass wire holder pairs beautifully with farmhouse, vintage, or cottagecore aesthetics. If your space leans more modern or minimal, easily customize the look with a quick coat of matte black, white, or even pastel spray paint to match your personal style. You can also use this toilet paper holder for more than just greenery: stash rolled-up dish towels, tuck in a bottle of hand soap and lotion for a guest bath, or display vintage brushes or tools for a curated look. This hack is versatile, renter-friendly, and adds personality to overlooked corners of your home.
