I like that these units offer concealed storage by mounting inside a cabinet door. I personally like the stainless steel look, although it is a few dollars more than the plastic model.

Decorative Paper Towel Holders

Here is a paper towel holder in a vibrant red and rooster-themed for country-minded kitchen spaces. The piece is constructed of a very solid cast iron, so it is likely heavy enough for easy dispensing.

I’m not sure how visible the colors of these holders would be when the actual paper towel roll is loaded, but I thought it was a fun concept.

Paper Towel Holders and Storage

home4less | March 3, 2009

Shopping for paper towel dispensers recently, I was a little bit puzzled at the pricing of most of these type of items. But doing a bit of digging, reading product reviews, and just comparison shopping, I realized a lot of the pricing is justified by ease of access and durability.

Upgrading from rather simplistic dispensers myself, I overlooked the convenience of one-hand dispensing. So this would mean that the holder should be weighty enough to provide support in the absence of a second hand.

This holder is constructed in a stainless steel, sure to blend well with the stainless steel fixtures and appliances popular in many of today’s updated kitchens. This holder has a pop-off knob for quick loading of paper towel rolls.

This holder, also in a stainless steel construction, boasts of easy tear dispensing and is slightly cheaper than the simplehuman holder. Some of the reviewers seemed to have issues with lasting quality, so the same design that allows for easy tearing might pose a problem later on.

Here is a holder with a more natural feel as it is constructed in oak and features a weighty base for easy tearing as well. This holder is significantly cheaper than the stainless steel counterparts.

Here is another holder by the ever-familiar kitchen gadget company OXO for the stainless steel lovers.

I thought this holder was unique as it moves away from the common stainless steel as it has a copper finish with brass accents for a very ornate look.

If your kitchen situation is like mine and you lack the counter space to store one of these upright holders, a mountable solution is probably more ideal.

This wall-mount holder is great; it’s got a clean, chrome finish and is relatively affordable at under $15.

Perfect Tear Chrome Paper Towel Holder, Horizontal Wall-Mounted

I thought this holder was a wonderful idea and an exciting find as I had no idea that magnetic paper towel holders existed. The only drawback for this item is that it would probably only be suitable for white fridges, but there does seem to be a stainless steel equivalent.

Here is a mount solution for those looking for a more natural look as it is constructed in an Asian hardwood. This item’s image seems to suggest that it mounts horizontally and possibly as an under-mount to a cabinet. However, the reviewers seem to have found issue with horizontal mounting and seem to recommend a vertical orientation, which I thought was a little unusual for hanging paper towels. But, I thought I would include it as the vertical mounting is unique for this sort of item.

I thought this item was unusual as it seems to provide hide-away storage for paper towels, but some may not like having paper towels visible or have any space to mount elsewhere.

I really liked this holder as it not only mounts under-cabinet, but looks great with its chocolate brown wood accents.
