With hundreds of paper towel holders on the market, how do you choose the right paper towel holder? Don’t worry, here are 3 simple steps to help you select a mount that’s right for you.
Installation Type: First think about where you want to put your support. If you’re short on counter space, go with a wall-mounted or under-cabinet mount. Both types will require installation. Consider whether you are comfortable drilling holes in the backsplash, wall, or kitchen cabinets.
The most popular types are paper towel holders, which are sometimes called freestanding holders. These convenient mounts come in many decorative styles and require no installation, so there’s no need to drill into walls or cabinets.
You can also find magnetic towel rails, which are perfect if you want to attach your towels to your fridge or other metal surface. Magnetic types are especially popular for boats and RVs.
Finish or color of the support: Now that you’ve decided where to store your towel roll, consider the appearance of the holder. Do you want to combine your appliances? If so, consider stainless steel or chrome finishes.
How about combining other accessories in your kitchen, such as your sink or faucet? Then a bronze or copper finish will definitely fit the bill.
If you like a rustic look in your kitchen, then you may want to consider wrought iron or wood finishes. Another option to consider is to go with a color that you like. White and black are the two most common colors; but you can also find red, yellow, blue and green.
Cost: Towel racks and holders cost from less than $10 for a plastic model to more than $150 for a designer model. Best sellers are more reasonably priced at under $25.
