A messy bathroom counter makes mornings harder than they need to be. If your toothbrushes keep tipping over or cluttering the sink, a wall-mounted organizer is a simple solution. You don’t need fancy skills or a workshop—just a few simple materials and a little time.
Below is a clear, to-the-point guide to help you build a toothbrush organizer that’s sturdy, neat, and clean-looking.
What You’ll Need
- A small wooden board (around 8–12 inches long)
- Sandpaper
- Wood finish or paint (optional)
- Toothbrush holders (metal rings, silicone clips, or small PVC sections)
- Screws
- Wall anchors
- Drill or screwdriver
- Measuring tape
- Pencil
Step 1: Prep the Wood Base
Give your wooden board a quick sanding. You just want a smooth surface without splinters. If you want the organizer to look polished, add a coat of paint or a light finish. Let it dry before moving on.
Step 2: Plan Your Toothbrush Spacing
Lay the toothbrushes on the board to see how much room you need between each one. Mark the spots with a pencil. This keeps your organizer balanced and avoids crowding.
Step 3: Attach the Holders
Choose the holders that match your style—metal loops, rubber clips, or small PVC pieces cut into rings. Drill pilot holes if needed and secure each holder with screws. Make sure they’re tight so the brushes don’t wobble.
Step 4: Mount the Board on the Wall
Hold the board where you want it on the wall—usually above the sink or next to the mirror. Mark your screw points, drill holes, and insert wall anchors. Then attach the board with screws. It should sit flat and feel solid.
Step 5: Add the Toothbrushes
Slide your toothbrushes into the holders and make sure everything fits well. Adjust if anything feels loose or off-center.
Why This Organizer Works
- You free up counter space
- It keeps toothbrushes upright and clean
- It’s easy to wipe down
- You can customize the look to match your bathroom
This simple project adds functionality without occupying space. Plus, it beats buying a flimsy plastic holder that breaks in a month.
Building a wall-mounted toothbrush organizer is quick, cheap, and surprisingly satisfying. With a few basic materials, you can make your bathroom cleaner and your morning routine easier. If you want to go further, you can add a shelf, hooks, or a small cup holder to expand your setup.
