The Built-In Toilet Paper Storage Solution To Consider For Your Next Bathroom Remodel
Whether you are building a new bathroom or renovating an existing one, there are plenty of unique bathroom designs you shouldn't overlook. You need to plan the layout of the bathroom, the style, and the storage for all of your toiletries and extra supplies. One item that is easily forgotten during planning but can make a big difference in how clean and polished your bathroom looks is where you store your extra toilet paper rolls. If you do not want your extra toilet paper rolls ruining the chic, minimalist aesthetic of your bathroom, but also do not want to risk running out of toilet paper while the extras are stored in a linen closet outside of the restroom, then a built-in toilet paper storage system is worth considering.
If you want a subtle but luxurious way to store your extra toilet paper rolls, one method is to create a built-in storage tube with a square opening near your toilet and toilet paper roll holder. Toilet paper can be loaded into the tube by lifting the rolls inside and sliding in another below them, and a roll can be easily removed by simply pulling it out. The clean lines of the square will look modern and visually appealing, and the built-in design will feel expensive. Plus, if a guest is ever in the restroom when the toilet paper runs out, the storage system is subtle yet visible, allowing them to find a new roll. While the look is stunning, there are some downsides to consider as well.
Why this built-in toilet paper holder may not be ideal
The biggest downside of this design relates to the storage conditions. Toilet paper does best when it is stored in cool, dry places in its original packaging. An opening in a bathroom wall is likely to experience quite a bit of humidity, especially if the shower is nearby in the room. Additionally, the design of this toilet paper holder means that one roll, the oldest roll, may remain at the top of the holder for a long time. If you are replacing rolls before you reach the final roll, which is usually a good idea to avoid running out of toilet paper when you need it, you will naturally push the final roll of the initial package back to the top repeatedly. Over time, toilet paper deteriorates, weakens, and may even develop a musty smell, so this roll could become unusable.

On top of these cons, the storage space would be difficult to clean and would be difficult to install. Determining how many rolls are left could also be a challenge, reducing your ability to plan your shopping trips. Finally, another downside of a feature like this is its potential to become one of the bathroom trends that are completely outdated. While all trends come and go, built-in ones are much more difficult to change if you want something different down the line.
