Where to buy paper towel holder?

8 years ago

Like this idea, but after some internet searching I cannot find a paper towel holder that would accomplish this. Most of them are on stands that sit on a counter. This one appears to be wall mounted - I can't tell maybe on one side only? Any ideas on where this came from?

Indeed, OCSouthpaw, it comes down to what matters more--as all such decisions do! To this client, what mattered more was not seeing a paper towel holder sitting out on the counter. Their concern has become even more important as the walls have come down around the kitchen. More and more, my clients opt for less visual clutter, not more.

That said, to you, it's a waste of cupboard space. However, what's not apparent in this photo is that my wall cabinet depths are made to hold 25% more than the industry's 12"-deep standard. This standard was not people/user-driven. It was set by optimizing a sheet of plywood. This was driven by the lessons in standardization we learned during WW2.

Now, two of the largest European manufacturers make their wall cabinets 15"-deep (38 cm). I've been doing that for over 30 years. They--and my clients--have found that this is a far more useful depth. Of course, their base cabinets (and mine) are deeper, as well, offering 27"- or 30"-deep counters.

With this depth, a PT holder in the rear corner of a cabinet (the least used portion) takes less than half the depth of the cabinet. In the 30+ years I've offered this option, the loss of storage has never come up.

I'll check with my client, as it's been about ten years since I did this kitchen. Any wall-mount paper towel holder will work, but ones that can front load are the best. This one would have to be loaded from the side and, therefore, the cabinet emptied before you can slide on a roll--at least that's what I recall. I saw several on the organizing websites that could work. I find that the ones that roll one sheet at a time work best. Otherwise a sheet is always hanging down too far below the cabinet.

Sorry this is a total waste of cupboard space, imho.

My understanding: You didn't find any problem functionally, but you feel this looks old & need some brightness & change in this. My advise: 1). Remove towel rod, shift it next to tub or behind closet & have full length mirror, which will make your space double & reflect natural light as well thus makes the space more bright. 2). Get couple of plants (small plants or bush type or creepers which doesn't occupy much space on floor but grows vertically). 3). Get some artifacts made from bright colored glass, can flower vase or wall hangings or glass tiles etc, these can be of yellow or Bright Orange color these are to be hung on walls opp to mirror or pasted(3M tape both side glued) if you are using tiles. 4). Get a mat of same color as artifacts & place between tub & closet. these all are easily done by yourself. OR if you can afford to then replace only green tiles & floor tiles if you wish to OR all tiles.

Hi. Have you ever considered a real interesting eye catching piece of art work to really brighten up an area, I think a select piece of art would really make the space stand out, add interest, colour, texture and add a great talking point to the room.... Please check out my website if you like the idea and please get in contact, commission work is also welcomed so if you like a particular style I can do in a select colour palette and size as an original piece…..I’m also able to produce all original paintings in high end print format, in any size same or smaller than the original. (all within proportions to the original so not to cause distortion) All prints shown are Giclee prints onto soft textured fine art media. All prints come with a white border these can be made to measure too. So lots of options, www.guigsart.co.uk

I think it looks great so far. Many of the ads for claw foot tubs, and magazines, show them with encaustic/cement tile and plain white surround. Also, you did something creative and attractive with the tile layout. I love the nickel shine of your clawfoot legs too. If you can maybe get a corner shelf on one side of the wall, you'll have a place for soap, candle or bubble bath. And maybe hotel towel holder on another wall to get the height up. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

This looks like a standard Good Grips type countertop holder installed sideways on a hinged block. It just has to have the locking top. The hinged block probably has a pin to keep it from rotating unless needed. I have this same holder at home sitting next to the sink (not mounted on the wall).

Actually, it's made by Simple Human.
