Help! Where should I put the toilet roll holder?

2 years ago

Hi. We have a Davidson’s Bicton home and I just can’t make the main bathroom work……..
I’ve tried a free standing holder but it didn’t look right and annoyed me as it quickly collected dust and water marks etc. I’d like to mount it on the wall but can’t find a position the is functional and looks okay……. Any ideas please?

Tricky. The toilet looks very close to the bath or I’d say attach to the side of the bath maybe. Or possibly a vertical “post” attached to the left edge of the tiled area behind the bath. Not sure how much space you have by the basin. Could you fit something to hang from the basin? I guess it would get splashes so not ideal. We have a floor standing holder which is what I would go with but you’ve found that doesn’t work for you so I’m out of ideas! Angie

The only place that I think would work is a holder between the loo and the basin. I have a freestanding one as I have the same problem. I don’t particularly like it but it’ll do for now! 🤨

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.

How will you pose for your Miss Photogenic photo op? Will you go with the Carmen Miranda fruit bowl tiara? Or would the Easter egg thingamadooeys suffice? Decisions, decisions..... Maybe Grover could photo shop each one with your dress so we can decide? We wouldn't want to break any decorating rules because we do have our reputations to uphold. LOLOLOLOLOL

Window shopping and lots of online browsing.! .haven't purchased anything yet!. Just getting house back in order after painting! I have put back the red/winey curtains that I previously had up...convinces me more to go with a neutral colour. The walls are rich Taupe but with a slight grey hue off them so I think the bottom left above actually might work. I have bedding very similar so I took them out and held up and think it would look very nice. Purple isn't a theme in my house (although I do have one bedroom painted purple/lilac) My sitting room is white red black and silver and living/kitchen room is tan and red. I want a rug that wont show up the dirt that much...I live in the country side and have lots of dirty feet coming in so I cant go for any rug that is too light in colour

I've been thinking of you,Fragle - I remember those sleepless nights when the babies first came home and everyone was sleep deprived but life-as -always still had to go on, esp for Mommy. So happy for you that you have a 'good' baby, I love the name too:-)

You could maybe try hanging one from the side of the toilet next to the sink

I think a plain post type might work and Dunelm have a few chrome ones very reasonably priced. You can also get more quirky ones - I have this one in our main bathroom, made of an antique shoe last (photo from a website). It’s actually really narrow so I think it could fit between the toilet and bath.

I’m someone who always thought wall mounted toilet roll holders are the way to go. But my new bathroom has the toilet between a wall and the bath, so there’s no room. Between the toilet and the bath, about a foot or less higher than the floor, there’s a little shelf covering pipes, just large enough for a toilet roll, so it sits there. I reach for it when I need it and then pop it back. It works. You could try putting a small stool under the basin to see if that’d work for you and if it does, install a floating shelf?
