Installing a toilet paper holder | Height, mounting and adhesive alternatives

Hanging a toilet paper holder seems simple until you're actually in the bathroom or toilet. How high should it go? What's the ideal distance between the toilet and the holder? In this blog post, we'll answer these and other questions.

How high should you mount a toilet paper holder?

This is a crucial step when installing a toilet paper holder. You want it to be easily accessible without being in the way. There's no fixed rule for the ideal distance from the toilet, but we have a few recommendations. Mount the holder at a height between 75 to 95 cm (30 to 37 inches) and keep about 45 cm (18 inches) between the center of the toilet bowl and the center of the holder. The most important thing is that the distance feels comfortable for you.

Installing a toilet paper holder without drilling 

Installing a toilet paper holder can be a bit of a task: you'll need a drill, level, measuring tape, screwdriver, plugs, and a vacuum. Additionally, some renters aren't allowed to drill. Doing so could lead to extra costs and problems when your lease ends. Fortunately, there's an easier solution: a self-adhesive toilet paper holder. This holder sticks securely to the wall without any extra tools. In just a few minutes, you can have your toilet paper holder installed—hassle-free and with no fuss.

With these tips, you'll have your toilet paper holder mounted securely, at the perfect height, in no time. Good luck!
