Unique Paper Towel Holders

Cute paper towel holder

Red Barrel Studio®

Your unique paper towel holder could even showcase a more ornate or delicate design. This works especially well with more feminine interior styles like shabby chic kitchens or the detail-focused French country decor.

Look for harmonious lines or—why not—even designs representing something cute like an animal or a flower.

Metal or ceramic paper towel holder

August Grove®

While plastic is a popular cost-effective option, stronger materials might be a better match if you’re looking for a more elegant paper towel holder or one that’s guaranteed to last you for many years.

We’ve also found that metal and ceramic paper towel holders offer more decorative possibilities, both when it comes to colors and intricate designs.

Unique paper towel holders with a simple but eye catching design

Steti

If you don’t want a boring paper towel holder but not even a crazy design, we recommend choosing a model that adds one quirky element to the traditional tube shape.

For example, this fisherman design does so for both decorative and functional reasons: its unique element is small and tasteful, but the fish is also there to prevent the next piece of paper from flapping open. 

Cool paper towel holder for a fun twist

Umbra

One of the best things about these unique paper towel holders is that you don’t necessarily need to spend extra money for a fun design compared to classic rod-style alternatives.

Sometimes, a simple addition is all you need. Plastic designs like this little ‘buddy’ won’t break the bank, but they’ll definitely grab your guests’ attention.

Animal paper towel holder

Animal lover at heart? As well as homaging them through a small nod or a motif, don’t forget that you can actually choose an animal paper towel holder whose entire design is based on your favorite one.

From dogs to cats and farm animals, these designs are some of the most attention-grabbing options out there.

Keep in mind that, in most cases, they’ll follow a horizontal rather than vertical design, which might need some getting used to.

Unique wall mount paper towel holder

Just because you prefer wall-mounted paper towel holders, it doesn’t mean that you have to stick to boring or primarily functional designs.

In fact, how about making the most of that section of wall space by choosing one that comes with a shelf?

You could use it to store some items that you’d like to keep always at hand or even to showcase decorative ones like ornaments and recipe books.

Decorative paper towel holder

If you’re aiming for a cohesive kitchen, it’s important to choose a unique paper towel holder that actively complements your current decor.

Your palette is a great starting point: try looking for a design in one of its three main hues (for the best results, one that will stand out against its background).

Still, the actual style matters just as much. Minimalist or ornate? Contemporary or retro? For example, this decorative paper towel holder would be perfect in a traditional kitchen.

Creative paper towel holder in a neutral monochrome design

Gracie Oaks

Wanting a unique paper towel holder that stands out doesn’t automatically mean that you must choose the brightest colors and run the risk of compromising your palette.

Think about it: paper towel rolls are usually white, so a versatile neutral finish like black will automatically stand out against it!

Rather than a noticeable top, you can simply look for a design with a creative element on its outer side.

Unique paper towel holder for your decor

August Grove®

Another easy way of introducing a unique paper towel holder that actively complements your decor is to stick to one of its signature motifs.

For example, if you have a coastal kitchen, you could look for starfish, seashells, or lighthouses.

Shabby chic style? Roses and other floral designs (especially in pink and red shades) are key.

Rustic or countryside inspiration? Look for animal motifs or wooden designs. You get the gist, right?

Unique paper towel holders with spice cabinets

There are all kinds of unique paper towel holders that combine a wall-mount design with other functional elements, so take the time to figure out what else could be useful in your kitchen.

Maybe it’s a spice rack or a practical slot to grab some foil without ripping the entire sheet?

A dual-use design is definitely a wise choice in smaller kitchens where every inch of space matters!
