Toilet Paper Holder Comes of Age

In the modern age, the bathroom has emerged as more than just a place to do cleansing rituals. It has become a private sanctuary, a place to relax, to think or to declutter the mind. Designers have thought of many wonderful ideas to jazz up or brighten the bathroom ambience, using the right interplay of materials and colors.

Bathroom accessories like the toilet paper holder now also come in many unique and eye-riveting styles that add allure, elegance, or a whimsical touch to the bathroom.

Artistic styles of toilet paper holder

Most homeowners still go for the traditional bathroom toilet paper holder in chrome, brass, white, or bronze finishes. There are some individuals, though, who want a touch of drama or something unique inside their bathroom. Hence, custom toilet paper holders draw their attention.
In a children’s bathroom, for example, a colorful wooden holder with the design of a horse or dolphin’s head will be both eye-catching and functional. On the other hand, a teenage boy may find a toilet paper holder with a skull, bat, or tin man design quite cool.
Designer accessories may be placed in a spacious master  bedroom bathroom. The trick is to select accessories and fixtures that harmonize with the overall theme of the house or the dominant design of the room. For instance, a colonial style house with lots of artistic pieces in wrought iron and brass may have bathroom accessories in metal finish.
Artistically designed wrought iron metal toilet paper holders that can accommodate one to three rolls of toilet paper that look like a mini magazine rack can look fabulous.

Freestanding toilet paper holders

Homeowners nowadays take delight in updating their bathrooms with convenient fixtures and accessories like tissue paper holders. Among the useful product innovations that have wended their way into the marketplace are freestanding toilet paper holders.

With elegant styles made of polished brass or chrome, a freestanding toilet paper holder not only adds visual appeal but can be moved around easily. They also hold unused rolls freeing up precious cupboard space for other essentials.

BRUSH CADDIES AND HOLDERS

TOILET PAPER HOLDERS

Toilet paper holders come in all shapes and sizes. Some are for use with the tissue you need immediately and others are for holding rolls until you need them. These are also known as toilet paper caddies. Both types are now becoming decorative bathroom accessories.

 TOILET BRUSH CADDIES

What are the other practical accessories for the bathroom? Toilet brush caddies. The caddies are important because no one wants to leave the brush leaning up against a wall in plain view and often cupboards are not tall enough to accommodate them. Additionally, one is more apt to clean up the brush after each use if there is a holder right near the bowl to put it in after clean up. This will eliminate any foul smells that come from brushes that are left out in the open.

 CHOOSING HOLDERS AND CADDIES

Many stores carry a wide array of brands of holders and caddies.  Some are made of wood, others plastic and for the more elegant minded, you will even find ones made of crystal.  Both toilet paper holders and toilet brush caddies can be mounted or free standing.

STANDING TOILET PAPER HOLDERS

Freestanding toilet paper holders are becoming very popular. They provide protection for rolls waiting to be used, while having it accessible for those family members who struggle to be bothered with going all the way to the cupboard and unwrapping a new roll.

These standing toilet paper holders can be matched to the toilet brush caddies to create a uniform décor. In fact, there are whole sets now being featured in some brands that include:

  • 1)   Soap Holders
  • 2)   Tumblers
  • 3)   Toothbrush Holders

All in matching design. The designs range from the staid and dramatic to the downright whimsical, and can fit in the most rural to the most modern bathrooms.

Whether you are seeking polished silver or chrome or brass, there are numerous elegant styles. Animal statutes holding  rolls of paper on their antlers, Butler statutes holding paper between gloved hands, or funky wall art holding paper on rounded protrusions are just some examples of the available styles for the more quirky-minded.

 BATHROOM MIRRORS

One often overlooked feature when accessorizing a bathroom is the mirror. The toilet paper holder and the toilet brush caddies are not the largest pieces in the bathroom ensemble, they are generally the second largest. The biggest is the mirrors.  While finding the more quirky options discussed above may be more difficult, one can find a mirror to match any décor. If whimsical is your thing, consider an oversized frame or a colorful molding surrounding traditional mirrors. More bold color choices can tie in all the various aspects of your bathroom design theme.

Yes, these toilet accessories were initially created for sanitation and for convenience but as modern decorators have shown us, anything can be used to spruce up a room. It was not very long ago that designers ignored the bathroom as they put together  their interior creations. Nowadays with whole industries having been built up around quality time in the bathroom, think personal day spas and long luxurious baths, the bathroom is its own canvas for the chic designers.
