Your kitchen will be so much more organised with a suitable paper towel holder! Our buying guide will show you which type of holder, mounting method and material are best for your needs.
You'll be delighted to know you can choose from several different types of holder, and alongside that, you can also choose a mounting method that suits the size and surfaces of your kitchen. Here are the main options to consider.
Whichever you decide on, there is one extra we recommend looking for – holders with a little gadget that will prevent your paper towel from rolling too fast as well as allowing an easy tear with a single hand.
If you're going for a wall-mounted holder, you have a few attachment options to choose from. The most popular is adhesive, as you simply have to attach the holder to the wall or beneath the cupboard and it's all sorted! Just remember not to use it for 24 hours after installation to ensure it's firmly attached to the surface.
Of course, holders that require screws will leave holes in your wall or cupboard, plus you'll need the right tools and a bit of knowledge to get the job done. But if you don't mind, this mounting method will guarantee the holder stays in place pretty much forever.
If you don't want to cause any damage to your kitchen surfaces at all, an under-shelf or under-counter holder will be a great option as all you'll need to do is slide the hanging arms over the cupboard. Perfect for renters and the DIY adverse!
Buying a kitchen roll holder can actually be quite exciting as you can choose a material that suits – or even adds to – the aesthetics of your kitchen. The majority of holders are made from metals such as stainless steel, aluminium or cast iron as these materials are usually corrosion-resistant, waterproof and rust-proof, meaning they'll last in the kitchen for a really long time.
If you'd like to match the holder with your other wooden kitchen tools, rubberwood is a fantastic option. Not only is it eco-friendly (the wood is harvested after the tree stops producing latex), but it is also resistant to bacteria and mould.
However, we'd also like to point out that some holders, or parts of them, can be made from plastic, so be sure to keep these varieties away from any heat sources.
We have to emphasise the importance of checking the dimensions of your kitchen roll holder as it would be a massive disappointment to find out that your favourite jumbo-sized paper towel doesn't fit over it!
To help you understand the dimensions of the products on our ranking list, we have only included the height (or length if the product is used horizontally) and the diameter so you can decide whether or not your choice of kitchen roll will fit into it.
Some products will be able to accommodate extra large sized kitchen rolls even if the diameter surpasses the holder, so make sure to check for this if you're after this feature.
We promise this ordinary-looking product has a lot to give – that's why it's our favourite product! Firstly, its green sticks are designed to prevent the kitchen roll from dispensing too fast, and secondly, the base is filled with cement, so the holder will never fall over yet it's also light enough to be carried around.
This dispenser has even more to offer as it's a product that is fully compatible with any size of kitchen roll. Fitting in a mega-size blue kitchen roll? Not a problem at all! This holder truly combines all the features you'd need, which is why we think you should at least have one of these in your kitchen.
Imagine how convenient it would be to tear off your kitchen roll with just one hand every single time? This holder's unique design will allow adjustment of the arm and will therefore fit most sizes of kitchen roll.
Alongside the great quality of stainless steel used in the construction of this holder, there's also a detachable knob that allows you to replace the roll at the press the button! Besides that, it acts as a sturdy handle to carry your paper from one room to another.
You know you're a grown-up if this kind of product sparks joy – who doesn't love the idea of a 2-in-1 holder and spice rack? Just pop all your favourite spices onto the rack with a new roll of paper towel and you'll have the most organised kitchen you've ever had.
Great things don't stop there, as this holder can hold up to 9 kg of weight – very impressive, especially when you consider that no drilling is needed to secure the product on the wall. This is a great storage solution for students or anyone working with a small kitchen area.
You're definitely not being picky if you don't want to drill nor stick a kitchen roll holder to your wall – that's why we have chosen this product. The clever design will allow you to slide this holder under any shelf or cupboard, and of course, you'll be able to put it to use straight away.
This alloy steel holder also has a double surface coating that protects it and makes it much easier to clean – all while leaving the holder looking shiny and nice. Oh, and it's made in Italy too!
We're all guilty of being indecisive, and with this holder, you can make the final choice at the very last minute! Coming with both 3M adhesives and screws, you can decide which mounting method is best for you at the time, changing it up if you re-organise the kitchen.
Plus, as it's made with high-quality, durable aluminium, this holder is lightweight on top of being rust-proof and waterproof. As an extra touch, you can also say farewell to visible fingerprints on your holder thanks to its frosted surface.
The little fellow attached to this holder is more than just a decoration – it's a feature that helps to stop the kitchen roll from unravelling, keeping your kitchen looking nice and tidy. With its matte black finish, this casual-looking product will add a contemporary touch.
There is one slight downside to note, which is that as you gradually use the kitchen roll, the helper won't be able to perform its function as well. Generally, though, this is a cute product from a trusted brand that would make a good housewarming gift.
Next up, a product that purr-fectly summarises the daily life of cats – preying on birds! Add the kitchen roll and you'll love how functional and decorative this holder is. We totally support the idea of using it as a part of your home decor, too.
Be aware that this product is made from cast iron, meaning that while it is sturdy and strong, its worst enemy is water. That's why you should clean this product only with a damp cloth, and only when you really have to.
Thanks to the rare but very handy feature of a swivel arm, tearing off kitchen roll has never been this easy. This product is also perfect for hanging other useful things such as rubbish bags and could even be used in the garage.
This holder, however, will require drilling and will leave behind a few holes. On the bright side, if you're not planning on moving house anytime soon, you're guaranteed that it will be super secure on any surface you attach it to.
Made from rubberwood that is only harvested when the tree no longer produces latex, this product is for those who enjoy wooden kitchen tools and are also being concerned about the impact they have on the environment.
This kitchen roll holder is as simple as gets, but, as well as its eco credentials, the material is naturally antibacterial and mould-resistant, meaning it will stand up to wear, tear and splashes in your kitchen for many years to come.
We always believe kitchen tools can look fashionable and stylish, and this rose gold holder just proves this to be true. With a looped centre rod doubled as a carrying handle, you can easily transport the holder to whichever room the party is in. It'll also blend perfectly well as a piece of home furniture.
This product is rather straightforward so it hasn't got any special features, but it's worth the investment if you're looking to add a contemporary touch to your kitchen.
