A toothbrush holder is a bathroom essential that keeps our dental accessories tidy and neat. Some are stand-alone, while others are wall-mounted, and they can be made from a range of materials such as plastic, ceramic, or stainless steel.
Selected from trusted homeware sites like Amazon and John Lewis, some of our recommended toothbrush holders come as part of a set, with soap dishes or dispensers included in the price too. Our top 10 includes items from big-name brands available in the UK, such as Joseph Joseph, Habitat and Croydex.

If there are lots of you under one roof, a bigger toothbrush holder is obviously necessary. Remember, even a simple cup can accommodate a fair few brushes, whereas a holder with larger dimensions will look less crowded and keep brushes hygienically separate - the choice is yours!
If you simply want a standard toothbrush holder that won't take up too much space, a round cup-style holder with a diameter of less than 10cm should do the trick. Seeking something with more storage space? A long, thin toothbrush holder may be between 15 and 18cm wide, so measure up your intended storage surface before purchasing.
Plants love humid conditions, so why not add one of our suggested best plants for the bathroom to yours?
For some people, one pot to shove all your toothbrushes and paste into will suffice. Others will prefer to carefully separate one toothbrush from another - in that case, we recommend buying a holder with more than one section. Those with larger families may want to opt for a holder divided into as many as six sections so that nothing gets mixed up and you can quickly identify which products are yours.

There's nothing worse than looking down into your toothbrush holder and spying a slimy build-up of saliva. Yuck. The best way to avoid this messy problem is by looking for a toothbrush holder with some form of drainage; this could be a few small holes or a removable base that's easy to rinse. If not then make sure you rinse out your holder twice a week minimum.
To avoid having to clear your surfaces every time you wipe round the bathroom, why not invest a little money and time into a wall-mounted toothbrush holder? Although they require some effort to fix to the wall, once they're up you'll find that brushes are within easy reach and cleaning day will run a bit more smoothly.
Some wall-mounted holders use screws, others adhesive patches, and some a combination of both types of fixtures. Screw-in toothbrush holders are obviously much more reliable, but if you live in rented accommodation then a temporary fixture will be needed. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding wall-type if using an adhesive, as uneven surfaces will not reliably hold your storage solution long-term.

The first thing you'll notice about this streamlined steel holder by Joseph Joseph is the fact it has not four, not five, but six handy sections - so it's perfect for those who like to keep everything hygienically separate.
The drainage holes ensure air flow, although this ingenious storage container can be taken completely apart if you want to give it a thorough clean. The base has grooves to stop it slipping too, thus avoiding any toothbrush avalanches. This is a really thoughtfully designed accessory - just what we have all come to expect from the Joseph Joseph brand.
When your electric toothbrushes are all charged up, pop them into this smart, wall-mounted holder - it's worth knowing that regular toothbrushes can be placed in it too. It has a smaller, high-walled compartment at one end, which is ideal for other brushing essentials.
This toothbrush holder takes minimal effort to attach to the wall and once stuck in place, if you have a perfectly smooth wall surface, it won't budge. Another useful feature is the row of six little hooks at the bottom, from which you can hang light accessories, such as hairbands. This holder is 27cm long though, so measure up your space first!
This spacious caddy will divide up your teeth-cleaning essentials whilst keeping them dry and free from mould. The holder is split into quarters at the top of the cup - even electric toothbrushes fit in with ease.
The base is highly perforated to ensure no 'saliva soup' accumulates, yet the drip tray will protect the surface the caddy stands on in your bathroom. The large ventilation cut outs in the side of the holder ensure excellent air flow - which is missing from virtually all other toothbrush caddies.
To keep your surfaces clear, why not fix this simple toothbrush cup to your wall? It'll blend in seamlessly with a minimalist bathroom design and being from wall-fixing experts Croydex, you can trust it to stay put!
The smart ceramic tumbler can be easily whisked out of the mirror-shine holder for regular cleaning, which will be necessary as it doesn't drain itself. Screws, adhesive and sticky pads are included (hence the 'flexi fit' name) as you can fit it in the way best suited to your bathroom and DIY skills!
We like this product because it's plastic-free, simple, and takes up minimal space. You can choose between eight cheerful colours, so they are a perfect (if pricey) choice for large families. Uniquely, this holder can be taken on holiday with you, as well as being used day-to-day at home.
Measuring just 4 cm across, this holder will nestle happily in any sized bathroom. It'll need to be rinsed out often, as it (obviously) doesn't have drainage holes, but it's small size ensures that you'll soon notice any accumulation in the base and there literally isn't anywhere for dirt to hide.
This elegant set of four bathroom essentials is perfect for someone looking for a full, matching bathroom set at an affordable price. In addition to two attractive toothbrush holders, you get a tall soap dispenser and a neat little soap dish - all in a luxurious marble-effect design.
The first toothbrush holder is tall and slim, with enough room for at least two toothpaste tubes. The second is divided into two segments so could work well for a couple or a pair of housemates with a brush each. The divided holder is rather narrow for effective cleaning, so please do rinse out regularly to avoid the dreaded saliva 'soup' build up!
Crafted in practical resin, this holder looks exactly like marble - to effortlessly bring a touch of luxury to your bathroom, which is just what you'd expect from the design experts at Habitat. Other matching bathroom items are available to buy separately, if you'd like a full set.
With two large compartments, this bathroom accessory will easily hold an electric toothbrush on each side or a selection of regular brushes. There are no drainage holes but the compartments are roomy enough for easy cleaning. Just give it a regular rinse, scrub and dry and then the inside will stay looking as good as the outside does.
The nautical blue and white stripes with a high-gloss finish, makes this an eye-catching set of three ceramic bathroom containers. We think they'd look smart in a bathroom with a seaside theme or as a way to add interest in an all-white scheme, but clearly wouldn't suit all bathrooms.
Pleasingly, the pump dispenser has a reliable mechanism and the soap dish has grips for minimal slippage. The toothbrush holder has just one section but it is spacious enough for several brushes and for fairly easy cleaning. Make sure you do give the toothbrush holder a regular clean-out under the tap, as it doesn't have any built-in drainage.
How cute are these happy little toothbrush holders? They may even encourage kids to get excited about tooth brushing! Each family member could choose a colour, so no one gets mixed up in the morning. Although it's worth noting that annoyingly the colours sent out are random, so there's no telling which you'll get.
By sticking these holders to the wall, you can save on surface space which will make cleaning the bathroom that bit easier. Each holder fits just one brush so you'll need a separate pot for holding other accessories and toothpaste.
Not only is this heavy polyresin toothbrush holder by John Lewis & Partners less likely to tumble over when you're in a hurry, but it also has a super-cool scandi look which makes it a tasteful addition to any neutrally decorated home.
This attractive holder also has one large section and two small ones so you can store your brushes and accessories separately. Do be aware that the smaller sections are rather narrow, which will make them hard to clean thoroughly.
