The Best Toilet Paper Storage Solution Might Just Be Your Produce Bags

What's a household item you absolutely need but also struggle to find space for? If you answered toilet paper, many people would probably agree. After all, this necessary but bulky product doesn't always fit into your bathroom layout the way other toiletries and accessories do. If you're constantly trying to find space for your spare toilet paper rolls, maybe you just need a clever hack that makes them more aesthetic while still very accessible.

No, we don't mean adding more furniture or shelves or piling up rolls on the back of your toilet (making even more visual clutter). Instead, repurpose one of your produce bags to hold several rolls from a hook on your walls, utilizing both vertical space and a chic tote that matches almost any theme. Toilet paper storage doesn't have to be boring, as proven by TikTok — it can be simple, functional, and aesthetically pleasing!

You might be slightly confused by this point, thinking of toilet paper hanging from those plastic produce bags you pull from the dispensers in the grocery store. Don't worry: Those are not the kind you'll be using. If you already own mesh bags (like these IKEA KUNGSFORS for $4.99), then half of your project is already accomplished. If not, it's worth buying a few of these for both shopping trips and this creative hack. These bags are great for holding your extra TP rolls and keeping them within reach.

It's so easy to underutilize vertical space within your bathroom. Besides shelves or the occasional decor piece, you may overlook hanging opportunities on your walls. But a simple nail, hook, or even a command strip can help you create the base for your new toilet paper holder. Make sure the hook or strip has purchase within your wall, as TP might weigh the produce bag down once you start filling it with multiple rolls. Then hang the straps from the hook on an empty wall and you're good to go. This is a fun filler for negative space that also keeps your rolls off of surfaces you need for other items.

Depending on your bathroom's theme, you can get creative with the bag itself, too. For beauty or coastal bathrooms, why not glue shells or other themed items onto the mesh? If you prefer a more simplistic vibe, you can dye the bags to suit your color palette — or just leave them plain if you'd prefer. If you feel like one bag is just floating awkwardly in your empty wall space, add a second and stagger them, using the other for more toilet paper or other toiletries that need a home. Make sure to remove the TP from the packaging to keep your storage solution from looking messy and chaotic. This bathroom storage trick hides your toilet paper in plain sight and might just be the most clever internet trend you find!
