Best toilet roll holders: Freestanding and wall mounted options

There’s nothing more unglamorous than toilet talk, which is perhaps why we often go through great pains to make our bathrooms a delight for ourselves and houseguests alike.

From tiles made of precious stone or marble covering every square inch of the space, to statement basins and grand toi et moi mirrors – one look at any celebrity home tour on Architectural Digest’s YouTube channel will demonstrate the sheer effort that homemakers put into transforming the realm of human bodily functions into grandiose, wellness-boosting spaces fit for royalty. After all, we don’t refer to it as a porcelain throne for no reason.

Suffice it to say not all of us can afford an entire room with walls made from pink Himalayan salt to meditate in after a long and carefree steam shower, but there are myriad other more accessible home improvements which can help elevate your bathroom from the ground up.

Take, for instance, John Boyega’s medieval knight loo roll holder which he boasted proudly about on The Graham Norton Show.

A fanciful and brilliant themed item which, we’re sure, tickles every entrant into that wonderful throne room. You see, you needn’t spend a fortune for your bathroom to resemble that of a celebrity. We applaud Boyega for paying attention to the often forgotten or dismissed essential lavatorial accessory that is the humble bog roll holder.

As such, we’ve curated a selection of wonderful loo roll holders to complete your bathroom aesthetic. The final thing to consider – are you an ‘under’ or ‘over’ toilet paper kind of person? Hint: there is a wrong answer.
