Paper towel holders, those indispensable fixtures that rarely get the attention they deserve. Be it the kitchen or the restroom, think about the number of times that you reach out to grab a paper towel. Many a time, with one hand.

And every single time, a paper towel rolls out smoothly. Or does it?

If your old paper towel holder it is too flimsy and tips over when you pull out a towel or if it is too loose and you end up pulling out half the roll at one go, then an upgrade might be on the cards. Only this time, you can select one that also serves as a focal point in your bathroom. Here’s a little shopping guide to help you select a unique paper towel holder.

How to mount a paper towel holder?

Paper towel holders can be categorized into wall mounted or countertop designs. Your choice will depend on the available space in the kitchen or the bathroom.

In limited space setups, a wall mounted paper towel holder utilizes the dormant vertical space. Countertop models are best suited for kitchens with ample room. Once you decide on the type of installation, it’s time to select the type of dispenser.

The types of paper towel dispensers are there?

The type of dispenser in the holder should be compatible with the type of paper towels that you use normally.

Perforated paper towel rolls are the easiest to use. You can tear as much as you need. These work best with simple towel holders that have a vertical bar in the center, a weighted base to prevent them from tipping over and a spring loaded dispensing mechanism.
Pull down dispensers, which are typical in wall mounted towel holders feature a spring assisted release mechanism which allows users to tear off one towel at a time, rather than tearing half the roll off at once.

What are the most unique paper towel holders available?

All it takes is some out of the box thinking to create a unique paper towel holder.

There are holders designed to mimic a wooden barrel with a vertical slot that allows users to tear off one or multiple towels at a time. These can be made of solid wood for kitchen use or ceramic for use in the bathroom. These prevent the towel roll from getting dusty or stained due to oil spills.
Metal paper towel holders with intricate latticework allows you to eyeball when the roll needs to be replenished. Not to mention that they look stunning.
One of the most creative and unique designs that we’ve come across is a kitchen knife styled metal bar with a round wooden base. The detailing is so amazing that it can almost pass off for an actual kitchen knife. The heavy duty wooden base provides it the much needed weight to prevent tipping off.
Antiques can be repurposed to convert them into paper towel holders. Have an old brass faucet? Attach it to a metal pipe and it gets converted into a rustic looking towel holder. Have a tall wooden giraffe statute? Use the neck as a paper towel holder.
