Holders for toilet paper: standard options and original ideas (21 photos)

Often, the bathroom and toilet are combined into one compact room. In a small room, any thing should have its own specific location. It is the order and cleanliness that gives the room comfort, and the ergonomic arrangement of objects is always advisable. This also applies to toilet paper holders.

These things are made of plastic or metal. When choosing a material, it is advisable to take into account that the plastic weighs a little, just attaches and is easy to clean. However, it quickly fades and breaks easily with careless handling. Metal models have a more presentable appearance and are chrome, brass or copper plated. However, it is recommended to keep in mind that spraying can be exposed in conditions of high humidity.

For the toilet paper holder and freshener to last a long time, it is worth choosing a stainless steel construction (even taking into account the higher price).

The holder for toilet paper is available in two types of fasteners (different designs and materials). The paper roll can be placed on the holder vertically or horizontally (the most common option).

Wall Mounted Toilet Paper Holders

This is the most common and compact type of paper attachment device. The main advantages: a variety of models and manufacturers, easy to attach in a convenient place. Buyers are offered several types:

• Toilet roll holder with lid: The paper roll fits over the hook holder. In this device, the paper remains visible, but covered with a dust cover. There are plastic (multi-colored) and metal (chrome, matte, brass). The holder for toilet paper and air freshener looks convenient and original. The trellised basket stand is located next to the holder. Advantages: visually you can assess the stock of paper on a roll, low weight, just fasten to the wall. Disadvantage: the paper is not protected from water splashes, the metal toilet paper holder with a lid is sensitive to moisture;
• Closed holder: The paper roll is stacked in a container with a lid closed. The end of the paper is pulled out through the slot. It is made of plastic in different shades. Advantage: dust and splashes of water do not get on paper, aesthetic appearance. Disadvantage: it is impossible to visually assess how much paper is left in a roll;
• The integrated toilet paper holder can be called the most aesthetic design. The device is installed in a special niche and can be easily removed if necessary. The paper tape is pulled out through a neat decorative hole in a special overlay. Pros: the device is not visible, the paper is protected from dust and moisture. Cons: a special niche should be equipped at the stage of repair of the premises: visually it is impossible to assess the amount of paper on a roll;

At what height to mount the device is selected individually. Mounting the holder in front of the toilet (at a distance of 25-35 cm from the edge) and at a height of 60-75 cm from the floor is considered ergonomic.

Floor-mounted toilet paper holder

It is advisable to install these types of holders in spacious rooms where there is a place for various objects.Sometimes plumbing is installed in the middle of the wall and the holder is difficult to place in an accessible place, so the main advantage of the floor structure is the ability to place it at a convenient and close distance from the toilet. Manufacturers offer two types of products.

• The standard holder is a stand with an open holder for paper roll. As a rule, such models are made of metal. Advantages: no need to hang on the wall, installed / rearranged in any place. Disadvantage: splashes of water can get on paper.
• The multi-function holder may have additional mounts for the cleaning brush and spare paper rolls. The holder of toilet paper and a freshener is equipped with a stand for a balloon freshener or automatic. Design advantages: compact arrangement of several items, easy to rearrange in the right place.

How to make original do-it-yourself toilet paper holders?

It happens that at this point in time there is no need for an expensive / permanent paper holder. Let's say when moving and upcoming repairs (when there is no bathroom layout yet). Or in the country - I do not want to specifically buy a holder only for a summer toilet. Fancy toilet paper holders are easy to make on your own. It is most practical to make a holder from plastic bottles. Materials needed: 3-5 liter plastic bottle, knife, wooden skewer for barbecue.

1. The bottle is marked in the middle and cut with a knife. In this case, you must try not to leave sharp "burrs" on the plastic. For the holder use a part with a cover.
2. Holes are made on the sides of the bottle.
3. A roll of paper is put on the skewer and inserted into the bottle.
4. The design is simply hung by the handle on the bottle cap.

Also an interesting version of the holder of a closed form can be made of two plastic 2-liter bottles. You will also need: a knife, a screw, a screwdriver, scissors.

1. Marks are made on the bottles from the bottom side (the length of the segment is equal to the length of the paper roll plus 1.5 cm). The bottles are cut.
2. Holes 1-1.5 cm wide are cut along the bottles (the length is equal to the length of the roll).
3. Near the bottom, opposite the slit, a small round hole is made and through it the bottle is screwed tightly.
4. The paper roll is pushed into a plastic holder and the paper tape is pulled out through a long hole. Another bottle closes this bottle, with the paper slots aligned.

Recently, cool toilet paper holders have become quite popular. They are made of wood, metal and can embody the image of a human figure or unusual object. That is, such a banal product is increasingly becoming not only a useful item, but also a bathroom decoration.
