Toilet Roll Holders: Always Keep Your Toilet Roll Neatly Within Reach
A toilet roll holder seems like an obvious and inconspicuous accessory, but it is always visible in the toilet and helps determine the room's appearance. A stylish holder in the right color and material immediately gives the toilet a more polished and thoughtful character. At MooierThuis, you'll find toilet roll holders in all styles, colors, and mounting options, for every toilet and every interior taste.
Types of Toilet Roll Holders: Which One Suits Your Toilet?
Wall-mounted toilet roll holder
The most classic and popular toilet roll holder. It is directly mounted on the wall next to the toilet for a neat, fixed, and space-saving placement. Wall-mounted holders come in versions with a fixed arm that holds the roll on one side, and in versions with a hinged arm that you open for easy roll changes. The hinged arm is more user-friendly for changing, but the fixed arm provides a sleeker and cleaner result. Choose screw and plug mounting for the most stable and durable installation.
Freestanding toilet roll holder
A freestanding toilet roll holder stands on the floor next to the toilet and does not require wall mounting. Ideal for toilets where drilling is not possible or desired, such as in rental properties or toilets with difficult-to-drill tiles. A freestanding holder is also easy to move to another location. Choose a model with a heavy, stable base that won't tip over during use. Freestanding holders are also available in models with extra storage space for multiple spare rolls immediately at hand.
Toilet roll holder with spare roll holder
A toilet roll holder with an integrated spare roll holder stores one or more spare rolls directly next to the active roll. This prevents the inconvenience of an empty toilet roll without a spare and keeps the spare rolls neatly in place instead of lying loosely on the windowsill or shelf. Available as a wall-mounted model with a spare roll shelf or as a freestanding model with a stackable spare roll holder.
Built-in toilet roll holder
A built-in toilet roll holder is integrated into the wall or a niche for a completely integrated and sleek result. This is the most minimalist solution, with no protruding parts, and it completely hides the toilet roll within the wall. It is typically installed during a bathroom renovation or new construction but can sometimes also be retrofitted into an existing niche.
Colors and Finishes: Choose for Cohesion
The color and finish of the toilet roll holder partly determine the overall look of the toilet. Deliberately choose a color that matches the other accessories in the toilet and bathroom:
Matte black: Modern, distinctive, and timeless. A matte black toilet roll holder immediately gives the toilet a contemporary, sleek look. Combines excellently with white tiles, black grout, and other black sanitary accessories.
Gold or brass: Warm, luxurious, and elegant. Gives the toilet a spa-like, luxurious atmosphere. Combines beautifully with white or marble-look tiles and warm wooden accents.
Stainless steel or chrome: Classic, timeless, and suitable for any toilet interior. Easy to clean and resistant to moisture and daily use.
White: Fresh, light, and neutral. Fits into any toilet interior and gives a clean, hygienic appearance that always looks neat.
Brushed nickel or bronze: Warm, muted metallic color with a handcrafted character. Fits perfectly in a classic or warm modern toilet.
Where do I mount the toilet roll holder?
The ideal position for a wall-mounted toilet roll holder is next to the toilet at a height of 60 to 70 cm above the floor. This is the most comfortable height for use in a seated position without having to reach. The holder is preferably located next to the toilet on the side, not behind the toilet, for the easiest accessibility. Maintain a distance of 15 to 20 cm from the front of the toilet for the most ergonomic placement. Always check the wall construction at the desired mounting location before you start drilling.
Mounting methods: screw or self-adhesive?
Screw mounting: the most stable and durable mounting method for a wall-mounted toilet roll holder. Requires drilling and plugs but provides the most permanent and sturdy result. Essential for intensive daily use where the holder is regularly stressed.
Self-adhesive mounting: screw-free and easy to install without drilling. Suitable for smooth, non-porous surfaces such as tiles. Choose a self-adhesive mounting with a strong water-resistant adhesive strip. Less suitable for heavy models or for use on rougher surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions about Toilet Roll Holders
At what height do I mount a toilet roll holder?
The ideal mounting height for a toilet roll holder is 60 to 70 cm above the floor. This is the most comfortable height for use in a seated position. Preferably, mount the holder next to the toilet, 15 to 20 cm from the front of the toilet, for the easiest accessibility without having to reach or turn.
How do I change the toilet roll on a holder with a fixed arm?
With a holder with a fixed arm, you change the roll by sliding the empty roll off the arm and sliding the new roll onto the arm. This is slightly less intuitive than a hinged arm but works fine once you get used to it. Choose a holder with a hinged arm if you prefer the easiest and fastest roll change, especially if other family members regularly need to change the roll.
Is a freestanding or wall-mounted toilet roll holder better for a small toilet room?
In a small toilet room, a wall-mounted holder is generally the better choice. It doesn't take up floor space and gives the small room more openness and freedom of movement. A freestanding holder stands on the floor and can get in the way in a small space. Choose a compact wall-mounted model that sits close to the wall for the most space-saving solution in a small toilet room.
Can I mount a toilet roll holder on a tiled wall without damage?
Yes, there are two ways to do this. For screw mounting, use a special tile drill and tile plugs. Always drill in the middle of a tile, not on the grout, to prevent cracking. With self-adhesive mounting, the strip adheres excellent to a smooth, clean, and dry tile without drilling. The self-adhesive option is less permanent but leaves no permanent damage to the tile upon removal, provided the strip is of the correct quality.
Which toilet roll holder suits an industrial bathroom style?
For an industrial bathroom style, a toilet roll holder in matte black or brushed steel is best. Choose a model with a rugged, distinctive silhouette with visible screws or a pipe-style design inspired by industrial pipework. A matte black holder with a thick, robust frame gives the toilet the maximum industrial character that suits a loft or urban interior.
