Free standing toile paper holders...
Comments (8)I just bought a short free standing TP holder for the counter top. I haven't received it yet. I am really hoping I like it as well as I liked the function of my paper towel holder that I was using. My bathroom set up remodel was ill planned for TP holder, my issue that I couldn't get figured out, so gave up. I just posted this on the other thread about TP and the dog. But you can see that my counter on the right is a pretty good location for my short stand. To the other side of the toilet I put the holder in the side of the cupboard. I knew it would be a difficult reach but wanted to try it first. I hate the location. The counter the right also has a pull out that conveniently houses personal hygiene supplies. I love the location of that roll out. In fact, I will plan something similar to this with the next remodel. But with the next remodel there will be a TP holder spot on the wall in a functional location, but I don't know where to put the towel bars :/...See Moreheight of fixtures (tissue holder, towel ring) from ground?
Comments (2)In my remodeling notes that I've kept and added to for years, it says towel bars are to be hung at 48" above the floor. Can't tell you where this comes from, it's just in my notes. Personally, I agree with lukkiirish. If you have kids, 48" just isn't going to do it. In our current remodel we're raising the towel bars we put in when the house was built and the kids were small. I love the new height!...See Morefree standing toilet paper holder -need solution
Comments (4)I would do what ever you need to do to insure an adiquate location for the TP. Whether you build a pony wall or have a free standing holder is up to you. But I vote for installation on a wall if at all able. The function of the pony wall can be improved by adding a pullout in the end, for storage. I've linked a thread with an example of Mongoct's pony wall with pullout. Here is a link that might be useful: Mongoct example of a beautiful pony wall w/pullout & TP....See MoreToilet paper holder placement
Comments (6)The only advice I recall seeing is that you just need to "feel" it out--you and whomever else shares the bathroom just need to take a seat on the toilet and figure out what is a comfortable reach without bumping anything. (Also, if you have a holder that's L-shaped--that is, the TP roll slides onto an 'arm' and it's not one of the holders where the TP roll snaps into place between two arms, you'll want to consider how the TP rolls out. My experience with the former showed that if you don't place the opening in the right direction, one good pull of the TP will whip that roll right off the holder.)...See Moremeg711
