While it’s an extremely practical bathroom component, the toilet paper holder is also a design statement. The style of the holder, the finish, and overall design will play a role in the entire bathroom’s look and feel.
For homeowners interested in upgrading their toilet paper holder, your options are vast. The following quick guide will help make it easier to pick the right toilet paper for any home.
Measure the Space
Before picking out a toilet paper holder, it is important to measure the available space. If a toilet paper holder is already mounted, simply measure the existing unit.
If a new toilet paper holder is being added to a bathroom where one did not previously exist, it is important to look for where the holder will be mounted. Measure the amount of space available, and be sure to pick a style that will fit the space. Ensure ample room for both the mount and the toilet paper roll so the fixture can be easily used.
Pick a Style
After narrowing down the options to only include toilet paper holders that will fit the space, it is time to determine what style of holder is desired.
Common styles include:
- Freestanding: These are a great choice when mounting space is limited. They can be moved around the bathroom to find the perfect place to fit.
- Classic: These toilet paper holders mount to a wall or the side of a cabinet using two points of attachment. They are available in numerous designs, from traditional to modern.
- Single Post Mount: A sleek style, the single mount toilet paper holder will only need one mounting point, making it a great pick for small bathrooms.
Find a Complementary Finish
With the right style picked out, it is time to consider what finish will best match the rest of the space. While not all finishes need to match, it is best to choose complementary finishes. A good rule of thumb is to keep all finishes the same tone, whether that is warm or cool. When in doubt, a neutral tone will pair well with almost any other finish in the room.
