The 8 Best IKEA Finds For Stylish & Functional Toilet Paper Storage

Your toilet paper stash is one of the less glamorous parts of your bathroom. No matter how you stack it, toilet paper just isn't pretty. But it has to be there — there are few things worse than running out of TP when you need it! While you can DIY a bathroom storage unit to hide toilet paper, there are also plenty of products you can buy to do the same job. IKEA has several solutions that are stylish, practical, and affordable too. To help improve bathroom clutter, we've rounded up some of the best IKEA finds for toilet paper storage. Ranging from standing toilet paper holders to wall-mounted storage combinations, they can help you sequester your rolls in style.

IKEA stocks a ton of items you can use to organize your bathroom, big and small, so we've included a variety of products in this roundup. There is something to fit almost any bathroom space and budget, and the products on this list range from affordable, renter-friendly bathroom carts to full bathroom cabinet systems, suitable for renovations and bigger bathroom updates. Keep reading for the best IKEA finds for toilet paper storage.

Add easy-to-install bathroom storage to an often-overlooked space: above the toilet. The FRÖSJÖN over-the-toilet shelf ($44.99 from IKEA) is a quick-to-install bathroom addition. This no-frills steel shelving unit will look nice in most bathrooms. Small details, like the decorative knobs and prominent feet, give it more of a traditional feel, but this smart shelving solution will by no means look out of place in modern bathrooms too. The unit measures just over 61 inches tall by 25 ⅝ inches wide by 11 ¾ inches deep. Its shelves are shallow and shouldn't jut out further than most toilet tanks, so they won't get in the way.

Three shelves provide plenty of room for toilet paper and décor, allowing you to add storage space while also dressing up the bathroom. Guard rails make sure your rolls and decorations don't slide off the shelves. If the shelves get a bit messy (toilet paper can leave behind a fair bit of dust), they're removable so as to be simpler to clean. To hide toilet paper, you can also grab an IKEA basket to store them in: the smaller DJURTRÄNARE basket ($9.99 from IKEA) or the PUDDA Basket ($5.49 from IKEA) will fit nicely. This shelf can work for almost any bathroom; it's freestanding, and can be renter-friendly, though IKEA recommends securing it to the wall. A product like the TipNot adhesive furniture anchors costs $24.99 from Amazon and can work for renters. Adjustable feet means you can make sure the shelves are even despite slightly irregular floor tiles.

The BALUNGEN toilet roll holder ($19.99 from IKEA) is a basic toilet paper stand with a classic but sleek look. It's chrome-plated to match modern bathroom fittings. Like many IKEA products, it has a minimalist design. Measuring 5 ¾ inches in diameter and 24 inches tall, it will fit in the smallest of bathrooms.

This holder consists of a single post, rather than some alternatives that have two (one for storing and one for holding the current roll of toilet paper). One such IKEA product is the KROKFJORDEN toilet roll stand, which costs $14.99 from IKEA — this cheaper alternative gets the job done, but it doesn't look as sleek as the BALUNGEN. The BALUNGEN is still easy to use too: the roll holder on top is magnetic, so you can easily pull it off to grab the next roll or stock up the post. Hidden screws make this holder look cleaner than something you might grab from your local budget store.

A rolling cart is sometimes the best option for bathroom storage, and the VESKEN cart ($9.99 from IKEA) is purpose-built for this task. It's so affordable that you might as well grab two and find somewhere to slot in the spare (you can use it outside of the bathroom for anything from a mobile crafting station to a pantry cart). Measuring 28 inches tall by 21 ¼ inches wide by 7 ⅛ inches deep, it's designed for the skinny space between bathroom cabinets, shower stalls, or toilets. Since it's made of plastic and has drainage holes, you can also use one in the shower.

Of course, for toilet paper storage, you'll be using it outside of the shower. The tray fits standard rolls and has three shelves with high edges to keep toilet paper contained. With a weight capacity of 13 pounds, it can hold much more than toilet paper too, and could be an ideal spot for cosmetic bottles, spare towels, or styling tools. It's available in white or black to suit different color schemes. Assembly is super straightforward; the parts all click into place and no tools are required. The cart has four casters to make it easy to move it around as needed.

If you're searching for wider rolling storage for toilet paper, the RÅSKOG utility cart costs $39.99 from IKEA and is our top pick. It's pricier than the VESKEN, but comes with a few extra perks. This cart measures 30 ¾ inches tall by 17 ¾ inches wide by 13 ¾ inches deep. It's substantially larger and can hold more rolls, if you have the space in your bathroom for its bigger footprint. It has three sections and the middle basket is height-adjustable. This cart also has a higher weight capacity of 40 pounds to hold other bathroom bits and bobs alongside toilet paper.

The RÅSKOG cart is made of steel, giving it a stylish look and solid feel. There's more detail in the design, with a curved central stand and high-sided baskets with wire mesh bottoms. It's also mounted on four castors for easy portability. The castors are adjustable for uneven flooring. This cart is available in black, white, and often, a colorful hue as well: right now, it's a pretty mustard yellow.

The MOSSJÖN wall cabinet costs $89.99 from IKEA and makes for stylish wall-mounted toilet paper storage. This mounted unit looks very chic, and we like the design idea behind it: The role of this cute cabinet is to both display and hide things in the bathroom. The cabinet is made of metal with fluted glass doors and walls. The glass sides bring the elegance of the material to the bathroom, but have a reeded look so you can't see what's inside. The design partially conceals rolls of toilet paper, as well as other items that you might not want guests to gaze at outright. It's a bit translucent though, letting some light in so you can better see inside when you open the door. The cabinet also looks less dark and imposing since it's mostly glass.

The bottom has an open shelf where you can display bathroom décor. Inside are three glass shelves that are removable, so you can maximize the layout and pull them out for cleaning. The door has a magnetically mounted handle, so it's easier to grip than handle-less bathroom cabinets. You can install the door left- or right-opening to match your bathroom layout. We also recommend this unit as a fashionable wall-mounted over-the-toilet storage cabinet.

We recommend this IKEA TRONES hack for toilet paper storage. The TRONES shoe storage cabinet costs $39.99 for a two-pack from IKEA. It's budget-friendly and versatile, so you can use one in the bathroom and one elsewhere if your bathroom doesn't have the space for both. This plastic cabinet is a wall-mounted unit, originally designed for storing footwear in an entryway, and is one of the best IKEA shoe cabinets. But this slim cabinet is easily repurposed to store anything from magazines to remote controllers. It has a shallow design to avoid crowding narrow front hallways, and that's exactly what makes it perfect for toilet paper storage.

The cabinet measures 30 ¾ inches tall by 20 ½ inches wide by 7 ⅛ inches deep. Its shallow depth means the side won't jut out too much from the wall, which is ideal for small bathrooms. Each pull-out compartment has a 6 ¼-inch wide opening, which is large enough for standard toilet paper rolls. Depending on how much wall space you have, you can stack several cabinets or place them side by side to make your own custom toilet paper storage. A recessed area on top of the cabinet provides a spot for other small bathroom items.

Spacious and stylish, the ENHET storage combination costs $365 from IKEA and is perfect if you want an entire wall for stashing toilet paper and more. This storage system is a major upgrade over an over-the-toilet shelf; it's essentially a cabinet and shelf system mounted into the wall beside and over the toilet. It's far more stylish than free-standing shelves too, with a steel ENHET frame and particleboard doors (you can choose from a few frame and door colors).

The storage combination measures a total of 80 inches tall, 54 inches wide, and 12¾ inches deep. However, since it is built over the toilet, its footprint is minimal, so it boosts storage without taking up much floor space. The size means you can store a whole lot of toilet paper (great for families that buy in bulk ... or anyone who is still recovering from the 2020 toilet paper shortage), as well as all your other bathroom necessities. Like other IKEA cabinets and storage systems, this one comes with a 10-year limited warranty, so it's built to last.

If you like the idea of floor-to-ceiling toilet paper storage, but can't commit to something like the ENHET storage combination, then the NYSJÖN high cabinet is a stylish alternative. The NYSJÖN high cabinet costs $89.99 from IKEA, a fraction of the price of the ENHET, but still has that sleek look that IKEA cabinet systems are known for. It's essentially just one tall section of bathroom cabinet, so if you have minimal space, it's an excellent choice. It's made entirely of particleboard and fibreboard, a factor that contributes to the economical price tag. Protective edge bands and humidity-resistant glue prevent moisture from penetrating and make this unit suitable for the bathroom.

This cabinet measures 74 ¾ inches tall by 11 ¾ inches wide by 10 ⅝ inches deep. With its compact footprint and tall stature, it's well-suited for adding lots of storage space to an empty bathroom corner. Inside are four adjustable shelves. You can install the door so it opens left or right to suit your bathroom layout. Like other IKEA furniture, it does need to be anchored to the wall for safety.
