Ah, the humble toilet paper holder. It’s one of those bathroom fixtures we rarely think twice about – until it’s missing, broken, in the wrong spot, or just not vibing with your Pinterest-worthy design. Maybe you’re working with a tiny space, embracing a more minimalist look, or ditching toilet paper altogether in favor of a more sustainable solution (hi, bidet lovers). Whatever the case, you're in the right place.

Today, we're rolling out (see what we did there?) some clever, stylish, and storage-savvy alternatives to the traditional toilet paper holder. Whether you’re dealing with spatial limitations, aesthetic ambitions, or practical pivots, there’s an option here for you.

Why Go Beyond the Traditional Holder?

Let’s be honest: standard toilet paper holders – especially the wall-mounted spring-loaded kind – can be... meh. They're often placed in awkward positions, clash with modern bathroom decor, or worse, fall apart the moment you try to change the roll. If you've ever waged war with a wonky metal arm while trying to do your business, you know the struggle is real.

Switching to a toilet paper holder alternative isn’t just about style (though we’re all for a bathroom glow-up). It can also improve accessibility, make better use of space, and support more eco-conscious habits– like storing reusable wipes or showcasing your sustainable bamboo TP in a chic new way.

Make It a Statement Piece

Your toilet paper doesn’t have to be hidden away in a sad little spindle. A decorative basket or woven bin can transform a few rolls of Rizzi Home’s bamboo toilet paper into a design element. It’s practical, easy to access, and adds a soft, natural texture to your bathroom. Nestle it beside your toilet or under a floating shelf to create a functional vignette.

Ladders are another favorite. Lean a slender wooden ladder against the wall and drape a few hand towels and hanging baskets with TP rolls from the rungs. It’s Pinterest-worthy, adds vertical interest, and makes storage look intentional – not like an afterthought.

Even something as simple as a small wooden crate or box on the back of your toilet can make a big difference in both form and function. It’s about choosing pieces that work with your space instead of clashing against it.

Thinking Small: Solutions for Tight Spaces

Working with a tiny bathroom footprint? There are still plenty of clever ways to store your toilet paper (or its alternatives). Freestanding vertical holders are slim, mobile, and can often store multiple rolls without dominating your floor plan.

If you prefer to keep things off the floor, consider installing a mini floating shelf above your toilet to house a couple of rolls, a jar of reusable cloth wipes, or a mini plant. You get bonus style points and extra storage space without breaking a sweat – or your drywall.

And for those really tight spots? Magazine racks or wall-mounted baskets are game changers. Just tuck a few rolls inside and boom– instant wall storage that’s functional and decorative.

For the Creatives (and the Crafty)

Ready to get a little unconventional? This is where things get fun. Repurpose a wine rack to hold your TP horizontally, creating an eye-catching wall display that’s both unexpected and stylish. Or suspend a macramé plant hanger from a hook and cradle a roll in the sling – it’s basically boho-chic bathroom art.

Even small touches, like storing reusable wipes in a glass jar or mounting a magnetic bar with hanging pouches, can personalize your space while still serving a practical purpose. The key is thinking beyond the traditional bracket and finding pieces that suit your style and your storage needs.

What About Bidet Lovers & Reusable Wipe Fans?

If you’ve swapped to a bidet or reusable cloth wipes, your needs might look a little different. But don’t worry– there are plenty of ways to stay organized without a standard holder.

Store clean cloth wipes in a fabric-lined basket or lidded jar within reach of your toilet. For used ones, a washable wet bag or sealed bin keeps things tidy until laundry day. And if you're using a portable bidet bottle, place it on a small tray or mount a shelf nearby for easy access.

This setup isn’t just functional – it’s downright elegant. And it’s proof that sustainability and style can peacefully (and beautifully) coexist.
