How to Choose a Paper Holder for Your Bathroom

Outfit Your Bathroom: Choosing the Perfect Paper Holder

When it comes to bathroom upgrades, the right paper holder is a detail that adds both style and smooth functionality. At Stone Harbor Hardware, we offer a broad selection to suit every space and taste. Let's take a look at the four styles we offer and why each deserves a place in your next bathroom refresh.

Traditional Paper Holder

The traditional paper holder features the classic double-post design that is commonly found in most residential bathrooms. Traditional paper holders come with a spring-loaded tube that mounts between the two posts to secure the paper roll. A major benefit of the traditional paper holder is that they come in a wide range of styles and finishes, making it easy to find an option that matches your bathroom's aesthetic. At Stone Harbor Hardware, many one of our bathroom collections feature a traditional paper holder, including our Charlotte and Laredo collections. Explore them for yourself today to find the best option for your needs!

European Paper Holder

A European paper holder varies from traditional paper holders in featuring one mounting point and a curved arm that holds the paper roll. This type of paper holder allows you to effortlessly replace empty rolls. Additionally, the curved arm can swing away from the mounting point, which provides more space for thicker rolls of paper. Many of our bathroom hardware collections here at Stone Harbor Hardware include a European paper holder, including our Barrington and Portland collections. Check out our European paper holders to find out if this style meets your requirements today!

Post Paper Holder

The post paper holder is a more modern style paper holder that offers similar benefits to the European paper holder. Like the European paper holder, the post paper holder is open-ended on one side and allows you to easily swap out empty paper rolls. Post paper holders are a bit less common than traditional and European paper holders, but their popularity has grown in recent years. At Stone Harbor Hardware, post paper holders are currently only available in our Vienna and Zurich bathroom collections. Check these collections out today if you're interested in exploring post paper holders!

Recessed Paper Holder

The final paper holder we want to highlight is the recessed paper holder. These paper holders are very similar to traditional paper holders, but they are mounted directly into cutouts in the drywall. This makes installation a bit more complicated, but replacement of an existing recessed paper holder should be pretty straightforward, as dimensions are usually universal. A significant advantage of recessed paper holders is the space savings they provide. However, their design makes fitting larger paper rolls more difficult than other options. Our Stone Harbor Hardware Recessed Paper Holder is available in multiple finish options that can fit various bathroom layouts.
