If you want to use up wood offcuts or scraps, these are ideal for a variety of small woodworking projects. Since you can't buy wooden fittings for a bathroom, it is easy enough to make your own to fit in with your decor and add personality to a bland or boring bathroom.
Wood has a way of introducing warm tones to an all-white or monotone bathroom, and there's no denying that a set of wooden bathroom fittings will definitely add something new, plus, you only need a few small pieces of scrap wood and some accessories to make a toilet roll holder.

One popular trend that is making an appearance in bathrooms is to use galvanised pipe and fittings to make up a toilet roll holder using scrap wood. Once you have made a toilet roll holder using galvanised pipe, these can be left as is for an industrial look, or you can paint them using Rust-Oleum 2X or Universal Metallic spray paint. Using spray paint in metallic hues is also an easy way to introduce a touch of modern metallics to a bathroom by using rose gold or shiny metallics.

If you don't like the idea of using galvanised pipe to make your toilet roll holder, there are many other materials you can use. Why not re-purpose an old leather belt into holders for the toilet roll? You can also use pine or meranti dowel scraps to craft a very trendy toilet roll holder.
