Having extra toilet paper in the bathroom is a no-brainer, right? You don't want to have to yell for someone to grab you another roll because you ran out while stuck on the toilet. You certainly don't want that to happen to any guests you have over (embarrassing). But figuring out where to put those extra rolls of toilet paper can be a problem. You might try stacking a few on top of the toilet, but they tend to get knocked over and quickly turn into a cluttered mess. The cabinet under the sink is already full of cleaning supplies and toiletries, and there usually is not much extra space to spare. You need a way to store extra toilet paper in the bathroom without a lot of fuss, and there is a simple solution. Grab a paper towel holder and come with us.

If you are looking for an easy way to declutter your bathroom forever, you can start here. Just like you slide a roll of paper towels onto the holder, you can also place a roll of toilet paper on it. In fact, depending on the size of the paper towel holder you have, you can fit two or three full rolls of toilet paper on it. That's plenty of toilet paper to make sure no one ever runs out in the middle of you-know-what. Plus, there are plenty of ways you can customize your new toilet paper holder to make this organizational hack work for you, whether you want it to stand out or blend into the bathroom.

If you want an inexpensive storage solution for a small space, a paper towel holder paired with an adhesive hook from Dollar Tree works well. Place the adhesive hook on the wall next to the toilet, then rest the base of the paper towel holder on the hook so the rod extends horizontally. Then place toilet paper rolls onto the rod. It should fit about three full-size rolls of toilet paper. You can repeat the process with a second paper towel holder and hook, just beneath the first one to store twice the toilet paper. Dollar Tree sells the Cooking Concepts Paper Towel Holder for $1.25, and a four-pack of Self-Adhesive Plastic Hooks for $1.50, making a single setup about $2.75.

For an alternative paper towel holder hack that keeps bathroom clutter at bay, you can simply set the holder on the back of the toilet instead of attaching it to the wall. This would allow a bit more flexibility in case you want to move it to another location or easily swap it out. You can also opt for a more expensive one, like this Mountain Paper Towel Holder with Mango Wood Base from Amazon, that has a protective outer wall and comes in various colors. It would need to be set on the back of the toilet or on a shelf, as it doesn't have a way to be mounted horizontally from the wall. If you want the holder to blend in, an all-white option without an outer wall keeps the focus on the toilet paper rather than the stand.
