Creating a DIY toilet paper holder is a simple and cost-effective way to personalize your space. From rustic to modern, these toilet paper holder ideas can fit any style. Below are some ideas inspired by budget-friendly designs that can transform your bathroom with minimal effort.

Rustic Wooden Shelf Holder

Build a multifunctional holder by combining a small wooden shelf with a DIY toilet paper holder underneath. It is helpful for extra storage, like including more rolls or small items required in the bathroom. To make it, attach a wooden shelf to the wall and fit a holder below it upon which the toilet paper is rolled. This project is suitable for those who like a rustic and farmhouse look.

Vintage Basket Holder

Convert a vintage wire basket into a toilet paper holder, which will be fixed on the wall. This idea provides storage for multiple rolls and adds a charming, old-world vibe to your bathroom. It is easy to install. Just screw the basket to the wall and then place rolls in it to have a convenient and elegant solution.

Rope and Hook Holder

This toilet paper holder idea is simple and stylish for a nautical theme. Place two hooks on a wall and pass one bulky rope as a toilet paper holder between the two hooks. Creating a beautiful piece that enhances bathrooms with a beach or coastal theme is easy.

Tip

Choose a rope with a natural finish for a more authentic nautical feel.

Industrial Pipe Holder

Get industrial with your bathroom look by using pipes and other fittings to make this DIY toilet paper holder. This project is straightforward: correctly arrange the pipes into an ‘L’ formation and secure them on the wall. The outcome is a solid and minimalistic-looking stand.

Leather Strap Holder

Combine style and simplicity with a leather-strap toilet paper holder. Secure two leather straps on the wall. Pass a wooden or metal rod through them to support the roll. This design is perfect for adding a touch of warmth and sophistication to a contemporary bathroom.

Macrame Holder

A macrame toilet paper holder will bring a bohemian feel to your bathroom. This DIY project involves wounding a rope or cord in a hammock-like shape to hold the toilet paper roll. This creates an artistic and stylish holder that also doubles as wall art.

Tip

Experiment with different macrame patterns and colors to match your bathroom’s decor.

Picture Frame Holder

Transform a decorative picture frame into a creative holder by removing the glass backing from the frame and attaching a metal rod or wooden dowel across the opening. Hang the frame on the wall and your toilet paper will serve as the artwork.

Tip

If your bathroom is sophisticated, country, or silver-plated, select a frame appropriate to the design.

Floating Shelf with Holder

Build this all-in-one floating shelf with toilet paper to combine functionality, storage and design. Secure a small metal rod beneath the shelf to accommodate the roll. The shelf can also store toiletries and other bathroom accessories.

These extra toilet paper holder ideas offer a range of styles and functionalities, making it easy to find a design that suits your bathroom. For those who are partial to country style, enthusiasts of minimalism, or art objects, there's an idea here to help you elevate your space with minimal effort and cost.
