Toilet paper—one of life's little necessities that we often take for granted until we're fumbling around, searching for it at the most inopportune moment. The simple act of placing a roll can seem trivial, but when you dive into the details, it’s clear that a well-thought-out placement and choice of holder can enhance both comfort and hygiene in your bathroom.
Where to Place a Roll of Toilet Paper Holder?
You might not give it much thought, but the placement of your toilet paper holder can make a big difference in your bathroom experience. Let’s break down the key considerations:
Ease of access
Keep enemies close and the loo roll even closer. It might seem funny but all you need to do is take a seat and reach out your hand. Imagine reaching for the paper and marking a perfect spot. If your walls are tiled you may need to shift an inch it two to match the grout line for easier installation. According to recommendations, a perfect spot is on the wall adjacent to the toilet but if you are comfortable with another position go ahead!
Height
Too high or too low - are the main regrets after the holder installation. If you want to make a bullet-proof decision follow the standard recommendation - mount your holder give or take 26 above the floor. This height is said to suit for adults and even for children.
Orientation
Over or under? This question can spark heated debates within one household. While “over” is the most commonplace and considered more hygienic (since you only touch the paper you're using), the choice ultimately boils down to personal preference. What’s important is that the holder securely fits standard rolls to prevent any unnecessary fumbling.
Toilet Paper Holders For Comfort and Hygiene: Dorm Life Lessons.
If you’ve ever lived in a dorm and had to carry your toilet paper to a shared bathroom, you know how great it is to have it right there in your own bathroom. A handy toilet paper holder makes all the difference. No more awkward reaching or knocking things over on your bathroom counter!
Additionally, the hygiene aspect is critical. A properly placed holder keeps the roll off the floor, away from potential contaminants and pets. Thus always stays clean and dry.
Does the Type of Paper Matter?
For most household situations, the type of toilet paper does not make any difference. Almost all commercially available toilet paper rolls are of a standard size and fit wall-mounted holders perfectly.
- Minimalist Designs: Go for sleek metal bars for a clean, modern vibe. Think stainless steel, brushed nickel, or matte black.
- Hidden Mounts: These holders hide the mounting hardware, perfect for a sleek, minimalist look.
- Multifunctional Holders: Get a holder with a little shelf on top for small items. You can find these in wood, metal, or glass shelves paired with a metal holder.
