We furnished our house with many things from Taobao and it had really helped us to save money in this home ownership journey!
Particularly for the toilet, we have a few drill-free suction cup fittings that we love. It is probably rare (that I know of) for homeowners to not go for drill-in items.
Here's why we did it!
- No drilling required = no paranoia about drilling cracking tiles. If you rent, these renter-friendly items can supplement existing furnishing
- Low commitment, can be changed anytime the placement don't fit your lifestyle needs anymore. OR ifyou see something cuter 🤪
- Affordable!
Love this $6 toilet roll holder. 6 months in and its holding on very well! The only issue we have is the water spots that doesn't go away. But eh, we're not bothered by it.
We put this next to the sink to free up the sink counter top space. 10 months in and still going strong!
We use the same one to hold up toilet cleaning supplies!
We bought a few more fancy ones to try because it kept dropping. In the end, this simple and lightweight design is holding up the best! This is probably the only thing that we regret not drilling because the towels can be heavy, hence more prone to the suction cups not holding up.
