6 Bathroom Tissue Box Covers Under $20 That Look Custom

The cardboard tissue box on your bathroom counter is doing absolutely nothing for the aesthetic of the space. And yet it's also a fixture — you need tissues, so there it sits. A tissue box cover is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to make a bathroom feel pulled together, because it replaces the one thing that consistently breaks the visual harmony of an otherwise nice counter.

Water hyacinth, rattan, woven paper rope, and linen are all having a moment in bathroom decor right now — and most of the best options are well under $20. Here's what's worth buying.

Why Tissue Box Covers Make a Bigger Difference Than They Should

A decorative tissue box cover does one specific thing really well: it makes your bathroom counter look intentional instead of accidental. When everything on the counter is chosen — soap dispenser, candle, small plant, tissue cover — the space reads as designed. When the standard cardboard box is sitting out, it creates visual noise that undermines even nice towels and fixtures.**

The best covers fit standard cube tissue boxes (the kind most popular brands use, approximately 5x5x5 in.), have an open or easy-access bottom, and stay put without falling over when you pull a tissue. That last point is more important than it sounds — a cover that tips every time you grab a tissue gets replaced quickly.

Best Woven Rattan: Rattan Tissue Box Cover, Rectangle Whitewash

The whitewash rattan rectangle cover is the most versatile option on this list — it works in boho, coastal, farmhouse, and minimalist bathrooms because the whitewash tone sits between natural and neutral.

At 10.2x6.1x4.1 in., it fits rectangular tissue boxes as well as cube boxes with some visible space around smaller boxes. The rattan weave is tight and clean-finished, and the open bottom makes refilling a five-second job. The whitewash coloring photographs beautifully if you're going for an airy, light bathroom aesthetic on Instagram or Pinterest.

Best Boho with Tassels: Square Boho Hand-Woven Tissue Box Cover

If your bathroom has any boho or eclectic energy, this hand-woven tassel cover is genuinely beautiful and looks far more expensive than it is. The natural fiber weave has the kind of irregular texture that signals handmade, and the tassels at the bottom add just enough detail without going overboard.

The open-bottom design and square format fits standard Kleenex and Puffs cube boxes. The tassel fringe at the base sits just above the counter, which looks intentional rather than droopy. This is the cover that makes guests ask where you got it.

Best Water Hyacinth: TIDITA Rattan Tissue Box Cover with Easy-Refill Bottom

Water hyacinth is the material having the biggest moment in bathroom accessories right now, and the TIDITA cover showcases it well. The tightly woven hyacinth gives a natural, textured look that's warmer than plain rattan.

The standout feature here is the easy-refill bottom design — rather than lifting the cover off the box to reload, you slide a new box in from below. It sounds minor, but it genuinely makes the refill less fiddly. Square format, fits standard tissue boxes, and looks equally good in neutral and earthy-toned bathrooms.

Best Set Deal: 3-Pack Square Rattan Tissue Box Covers

If you have multiple bathrooms or want to replace tissue covers in the bathroom, guest bath, and bedroom all at once, this 3-pack of square rattan covers is straightforwardly good value.

Each cover fits a standard cube tissue box and the rattan weave is consistent across all three. Buying a set ensures everything matches and removes the decision fatigue of finding something complementary later. The natural coloring works in almost any space, and having extras means you don't have to reorder when one gets damaged or you want to switch things up.

Best Decorative Woven: YIWEN Square Woven Tissue Box Cover

The YIWEN cover has a slightly more structured woven pattern than loose rattan — tighter and more uniform, which gives it a cleaner look that works well in modern or transitional bathrooms rather than just boho spaces.

The neutral color sits between natural straw and light gray, which means it pairs with white, greige, and warm-toned bathroom decor without clashing. Fits standard square tissue boxes, lightweight but not flimsy, and the weave is tight enough that it doesn't snag on anything. A clean, safe choice if you want woven texture without the organic-casual aesthetic of looser rattan.

Best Linen Option: Linen Tissue Box Cover, Dusty Pink

Not every bathroom wants wicker and rattan — if your space is softer and more romantic, a linen-covered tissue box blends into the decor more gently. The dusty pink linen slipcover pulls over a standard square cardboard tissue box and looks like it was made for the space.

Made in the USA, which is a genuine differentiator at this price point. The fabric is smooth enough to stay clean-looking and the dusty pink is exactly the kind of muted color that works in blush, rose gold, and cream-toned bathrooms. Swap covers seasonally if you like rotating your bathroom decor without committing to a major redecoration.

Quick Tips for Choosing the Right Tissue Box Cover

• Measure your tissue box before buying — standard cube boxes are about 5x5x5 in., but some boutique brands run slightly larger or smaller
• Open-bottom designs are more practical than hinged-lid styles for everyday use — you can reload in seconds
• If your bathroom has a very light palette, natural rattan or whitewash adds warmth without color-matching stress
• Woven covers hide dust better than smooth surfaces and only need a quick shake or light brush to clean
• Matching your tissue cover to one other textural element in the bathroom — a woven basket, a jute bath mat — makes the room feel deliberately styled

The tissue box is one of those things that's always going to be there. You might as well make it look like you chose it. Found something you love? Pin this for later so you don't lose it!
