Toilet roll holder shelf

This streamlined shelf not only looks attractive but also makes fantastic use of space. It's a novel means of storing your toilet rolls.

The project

I used Pine lengths about 110mm wide and just cut them down to the typical depth of a roll of toilet paper. I did some rough dry fitting to find out how many rolls would fit depending on the size, and came up with a measurement that looked about right relating the overall size of  the wall which was going to hang.

The shelf was trial-and-error. There is a formula for cutting a shelf with beveled edges on it so it fits diagonally flush to the corners. Once it was made, I just used some timber stain and brushed it and then used a old rag to spread the stain out and thin it out enough to see some of the original Pine.

To attach it to the wall I used wall plugs and two long screws. It's not great, but it's still sitting on the wall no problems. In hindsight, I could have secured a small batten to the wall and then put screws down through the shelf part and into the batten.

Nice original  idea @Rodney   thanks for  sharing.

I already thinking of my  own design shape  ideas on a blank boring toilet wall

Practical too a frame like that can hold a  whole big packet of  rolls and we could eliminate toilet roll storage in laundry.
