Turn A Plain Toothbrush Holder Into A Beautiful Home Decor Piece In A Flash

You've probably heard this before, but it bears repeating: It's the little touches of decor that truly make a house feel like a home. It could be a cozy blanket on your sofa or artwork on the wall. It could even be something completely one-of-a-kind, like say, a toothbrush holder-turned-vase. Among all the genius ways to repurpose your toothbrush holder around your home, this just might be our favorite.

Not only does this easy DIY project offer a fresh approach to decorating the home with flowers, but it doesn't break the bank. For this hack, you can use an old toothbrush holder or snag a new or thrifted piece. A basic design (like the BSDISP White Toothbrush Holder) will work just fine, but the more stylish it is, the better. It doesn't matter if the holder has holes on top, includes a divider, or is wall-mounted — although you'll only be able to put faux and dried flowers in the vessel if it features drainage holes. In that case, adding pebbles inside can help weigh the vase down so it doesn't tip over if it's made of lightweight plastic. The best part about this decor idea is the one we've saved for last: It's totally customizable.

This DIY is a brilliant bathroom decorating idea for when you're on a budget. In the video above, TikTok user @apieceofmyglamhome went for an easy yet eye-catching update with a strip of gold tape. Tying a velvet ribbon around your toothbrush holder will also give it an elevated look. Adorn it with twine or rope if you're after a laid-back, coastal vibe. Want to try something a bit more artsy? Consider painting the holder with glass or acrylic paint depending on its material. You could draw patterns, little flowers, wavy lines, or even have a go at a splatter-painted effect for an extra pop of fun. Think of the container as a blank canvas and let your creativity and interior style guide you.

Next up, pair your newfound vase with a small, pretty bouquet, then display it anywhere that needs a bit of a boost. Maybe tuck it in the corner of your vanity sink, give it a home on your kitchen counter, or incorporate it as part of your coffee table centerpiece. Thanks to its small size, it can fit just about anywhere you want to add a visual punch.
