Professional organisers have shared their best ideas for storing loo roll so it still looks fancy.
Here are the top five….
1. Lidded baskets
Why not tuck away your toilet rolls in a stylish basket, which is a bathroom feature in itself?
There are numerous options which could do the job, such as wicker ones with a lid.
Petya Holevich, house cleaning expert and supervisor at Fantastic Services, suggested to Home and Gardens: 'Place a lidded basket or decorative storage box near the toilet, either on the floor or on a shelf. Choose a container that complements the bathroom's decor to keep it discreet.
'Opt for a box with a hinged lid for easy one-handed access.'
2. Add floating shelves
Instead of putting your rolls in full view, why not add shelving to the walls which can help keep them hidden.
Petya advised: 'Installing a floating shelf with a slide-out or lift-up compartment. A custom floating shelf above or beside the toilet can include a hidden compartment that opens with a push or lift mechanism.
'These are excellent for storing a few extra rolls while keeping them completely out of view. Make sure the mechanism is easy to operate even with one hand.'
3. Rolling carts
Another option is to use a rolling cart, or a slide-out unit, which discreetly stores extra toilet roll supplies.

You can pick up a narrow option on Wayfair, which could be narrow enough to be housed between your toilet and sink.
Choose a rolling cart with a solid back, like this one, so you could also turn it against the wall to hide the shelves from sight.
4. Base or upper cabinets

One of the main ways to hide toilet rolls is in a bathroom cabinet, which could be placed under or above a sink or by a toilet.
Tammy Cailliau, bathroom supplier and owner of Tampa Bay Granite, added that if you are doing this, you should add something to protect the rolls from water.
She said: 'We often recommend people use a plastic Rubbermaid storage tote or just an extra cover, to help elevate the bottom rolls off the base when storing in a base cabinet because a water leak from a P-trap under the sink can damage the rolls.'
5. Keep them out of the bathroom
If you really don't have the space, you could remove spare toilet rolls from the bathroom altogether.
In fact, some home organisers prefer to do this for their longevity as well as for aesthetic reasons.
Some of the popular locations outside the bathroom include airing cupboards or a hallway cupboard.
Sarah Day, storage expert at Pay Less for Storage, explained why this is beneficial.
She said: 'Toilet rolls are by their very nature hugely absorbent. This means they soak up ambient moisture in the air, especially in condensation-filled bathrooms after a hot shower or a bath.'
She said over time, damp and soggy toilet rolls can even harbour mould spores.

This outdoor item not only levels up your garden but also helps to boost wildlife. The Belavi Bird Drinking Trough is available for just £9.99 from the Aldi middle aisle. Shoppers can choose between a "Round Natural" style or a "Leaf Natural" version. Attracts wildlife Accordign to the product description, the ceramic bird bath "offers an essential watering pool for wildlife". As well as birds, this can also include bees, butterflies, and small mammals need a water source during both winter and summer months. It features detachable ceramic birds and a hand-painted design. This bird bath measures approximately 30.2 centimetres by 3.5 centimetres. Customer reactions Aldi customers heaped on the praise for "this adorable drinking trough". Shoppers shared their thoughts on the Facebook page Aldi Aisle of Shame. "'I'm getting at least one," said one impressed commenter. Aldi's backyard essential is flying off shelves for only $29.99 and instantly gets your home ready for summer "I raced down after work to get mine and now I'm waiting for the first visitor," wrote another person.

And if you're also planning to pick up this buy, you may want to hurry as it is only available "while stocks last". As with all Aldi Specialbuys, once this item is gone, it's gone. How to encourage wildlife into your garden THE Woodland Trust shared five top tips 1. Grow wild Let nature take its course to create a more attractive environment for all things wild. You don't have to leave your plot to develop into a small jungle – wildlife will thank you for just a small corner, border or planter. 2. Plant trees and shrubs Research has shown that gardens are more attractive to wildlife if they have trees. And those trees can bring a host of other benefits too, from reducing noise and flooding to fighting climate change. 3. Create homes If you want to attract a particular species, a ready-made home can look especially appealing to any wildlife passing through. 4. Offer a water source Water is crucial for wildlife. Making some available in your garden could be a lifeline, especially in extreme weather. 5. Serve an extra meal One of the best ways to persuade a plethora of wildlife to your patch is to give them access to an easy meal. More garden buys Plus, a £7 Aldi buy that helps to illuminate your garden for free on long summer nights. And the retailer is also selling a £10 gadget that will leave your lawn weed-free.

And a "10 out of 10" garden shed that you can pick up for less than £20. 2
