Types of spare roll holders
Whether you are looking for a freestanding model, a sleek wall holder, or a smart combination that combines a toilet roll holder and spare storage, there is a wide selection of spare roll holder types. Each type has its own advantages, depending on your bathroom, mounting preferences, and style.
Standing spare toilet roll holder
A floor-standing spare roll holder is a freestanding model with a sturdy base that you place directly next to the toilet. The height usually varies from approximately 40 to 72 cm. Freestanding spare roll holders are easy to move and require no mounting equipment. This makes them ideal for rental properties or situations where you do not want to drill into the tiles or wall. Consider a polished stainless steel stand from Zack Mimo or a black holder with a natural stone base from
Wall-mounted spare toilet roll holder
A wall-mounted model is attached to the wall next to or behind the toilet. The major advantage: the floor remains clear, creating a sleek, tidy look and making cleaning easy. Spare roll holders are simple to mount on the wall – installation requires screws and plugs, which are included. Some models can be glued to the wall with or without a wall bracket, handy if you prefer not to drill. Wall holders often match beautifully with other toilet accessories such as a toilet brush, towel hook, and toilet roll holder from the same series.
Combination toilet roll holder with spare roll holder
A combination model combines a toilet roll holder and a spare roll holder in one compact design. The current roll sits on top or at the front, and one to two extra rolls are stored underneath or behind it. This solution is a smart addition for small toilet spaces where every centimeter counts. Thanks to the minimalist appearance—for example, a sleek black or stainless steel version—the space remains uncluttered. Also view the toilet butlers combine that roller and brush holder in one for even more space saving.
Decorative spare toilet roll holders
Are you looking for something playful or eye-catching? Decorative spare roll holders showcase the rolls as a deliberate part of your interior, such as holders with a luxurious natural stone base. The design of a spare roll holder can vary from modern to classic—perfect for making a statement in a guest toilet or designer bathroom. Coordinate the color and shape with your other toilet accessories and combine them with high-quality bath mats and towels for a well-thought-out look.
Important features of a good spare toilet roll holder
Material, capacity, and ease of use determine whether a spare roll holder lasts for years and remains looking good. Below are the features to look for when making a sustainable choice.
Capacity: how many rolls do you want to store?
Spare roll holders can hold up to three rolls, but the capacity of the holder depends on the design. A compact wall-mounted model often accommodates one to two toilet rolls, while taller freestanding holders easily hold two to three rolls.For a guest toilet that is rarely used, one extra roll is usually sufficient. A holder with multiple rolls is handy in busy households or for a guest toilet where you want to be assured of a sufficient supply. Also, take into account the height and visibility of the model in a small space.
Material and finish
Spare toilet roll holders are available in polished or matte stainless steel, black, and white – as well as in shades such as copper, gold, and bronze. Stainless steel is the most common base material: stainless steel roll holders are resistant to corrosion and rust, essential in a humid bathroom. Brushed or polished stainless steel provides a neat finish that remains beautiful for years. Black spare roll holders give bathrooms a modern look, while shades like copper and gold fit the trend for warm bathroom decor. At Bath&In Living you will find high-quality brands such as
Stability and size
A free-standing spare toilet roll holder must have a sufficiently heavy and wide base—approximately 12 to 20 cm for most models—to remain stable, even when three full rolls are placed on it. Measure the available space next to the toilet beforehand: the height and depth of the model must not block the walkway or hinder cleaning. Always check the dimensions in the product description and compare them with the space you have. This ensures that the product fits next to your toilet without getting in the way.
Installation and maintenance
The installation location for a spare toilet roll holder depends on the available space in the toilet area. Freestanding placement is the simplest option: no tools required, ready to use immediately. Do you want to mount it to the wall? Then you can choose between drilling with screws and plugs, or gluing with a special mounting adhesive. This is ideal for delicate tiles, but pay attention to the load-bearing capacity. Recessed spare roll holders are integrated into the wall for a sleek finish; however, this requires planning during a renovation. For maintenance, wipe the holder regularly with a soft, damp cloth and do not use aggressive cleaning agents – especially not on coated or natural stone surfaces. A mild cleaner such as dishwashing liquid is sufficient to remove limescale and soap residue.
How do you choose the right spare roll holder for your toilet or bathroom?
The style and material of the holder must match the decor of the toilet area. With the criteria below, you can easily make the right choice:
- Available space - Check how much space is next to or behind the toilet. With limited floor space, you are more likely to choose a wall-mounted model or combination holder; for a more spacious toilet, a floor-standing model fits well.
- Number of users and frequency of use - In a busy household with multiple people, a holder for two to three rolls is practical. For a rarely used guest toilet, one spare roll is often enough to always have a new roll on hand.
- Drill or not drill - Do you live in a rental property or do you have valuable tiles? Then choose a free-standing model or a wall bracket with an adhesive set, so you don't have to drill holes.
- Style and color - Match the color and finish to your toilet brush, soap dispenser, towel holders and toilet mat. Replacement roll holders are available in various colors and styles – from brushed stainless steel to matte black – so there is always a model to suit your bathroom.
-
Budget and quality - There are entry-level and premium designs. Brands like
Aquanova Blomus and Zack distinguish themselves in finish and durability, which pays off in years of enjoyment.
