It might not be the most exciting choice when furnishing your home, but it has to be done: choosing a toilet roll holder. Once you start your search, you will likely discover that much more is possible than you initially thought. A standard stainless steel toilet roll holder with a lid is certainly not the only option on the market. With a designer toilet roll holder, you can give your bathroom a real upgrade.
Types of toilet roll holders: freestanding or wall-mounted?
First of all, it is important to consider whether or not you want to drill into the (tiled) wall near your toilet. Wall-mounted toilet accessories create a tidy look, and you don't have to move anything when vacuuming and mopping. However, neat options are also available when it comes to floor-standing toilet accessories.
With a freestanding toilet butler, you have a toilet roll holder and a toilet brush holder in one, without taking up much space. There are also toilet butlers where a toilet roll holder is combined with a holder for spare rolls instead of the toilet brush. With a toilet butler from the design toilet accessories collections by Zack, Blomus or
No-drill toilet roll holder: when is it suitable?
Would you rather not drill but still want a hanging toilet roll holder? There is another option to avoid holes in the wall: hanging your toilet roll holder with adhesive instead of screws. However, please note: not every type of toilet roll holder is suitable for this. Zack offers several series of toilet accessories that allow for adhesive use: Linea, Carvo, Atore, and Scala. Among these, you will find toilet roll holders with both straight and rounded shapes, in black, white, matte, and polished stainless steel. You may need an additional wall bracket for adhesive mounting to increase the adhesive surface area and thus the stability.
Please note that with plasterwork, you must always choose to drill or use a free-standing toilet roll holder. Smooth tiles are most suitable for wall mounting using adhesive.
Materials compared
Stainless steel toilet roll holders have been a popular choice for years, and not without reason. High-quality stainless steel is an ideal material for toilet accessories. It is sturdy, easy to keep clean, and has a timeless appearance. The standard choice is brushed or polished stainless steel, for a matte or glossy finish.
However, you might just be ready for a bolder choice for your toilet roll holder. You enjoy expressing your personal style in your interior, including the toilet area. For instance, a black steel toilet roll holder provides a much bolder look than standard silver-colored stainless steel or chrome. Also consider brass or toilet roll holders in a gold or copper color for a warmer appearance. Steel or metal combined with natural stone adds a natural detail with a luxurious look, especially if you choose natural stone with interesting marbling. For a rustic or country look, wooden toilet roll holders can be a beautiful option. Perhaps slightly less easy to keep clean, but certainly an aesthetic choice.
