Are free standing toilet paper holders better than hanging toilet holders?

Free standing toilet paper holders are better than their hanging counterparts. If you’ve never considered switching from hanging toilet paper holders to free standing, now might be the time. They provide an effective way to house your current toilet roll and store a few extras.

A modern free standing toilet paper holder is also the perfect solution when your toilet isn’t located next to a wall. Sometimes the reaching distance from the toilet to the nearest wall or vanity is awkward, and mounting a toilet paper holder on the wall behind the toilet isn’t the most accessible choice. In these scenarios, free standing toilet paper holders can provide a much more comfortable bathroom experience.

Along with increased storage capacity, a free standing toilet paper holder can become a decorative addition to the bathroom. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs. You can opt for a sleek, contemporary chrome look in an urban loft, or for a French country-inspired home, choose an ornate frame with curved wrought iron designs.

Many free standing toilet paper holders also feature storage for magazines, cleaning products, and air fresheners, making them ideal for bathrooms with limited space.

What type of free standing toilet paper holder to choose?

A modern free-standing toilet paper holder should match other materials or colors in your decorated bathroom for the best sense of cohesion. You can choose between concealed toilet paper holders, that keep the rolls hidden, and ones that mimic wall-mounted paper holders for the most ease of access.

For our part, we recommend making sure that you match materials, then select a toilet paper holder with an open rack. This will be the easiest to use while maintaining the best aesthetics possible.
