Design kitchen roll holders – how to find the right model for your home
1. Design kitchen roll holders: the right size
Standard sizes for everyday items often vary depending on the country of manufacture – and kitchen rolls are no exception. So keep the following dimensions in mind when buying a kitchen roll holder:
In Germany, a standard kitchen roll has a length of 26 cm and a diameter of around 11.5 cm. However, the diameter depends heavily on the number of sheets on a roll and the number of plies, e.g. 2-ply or 3-ply. If you prefer jumbo rolls, make sure the base is large enough so that the roll doesn't overhang.
2. Ergonomics and handling
Kitchen roll holders are mobile helpers that come in handy not only in the kitchen and while cooking, but also when cleaning. A secure grip is important when carrying them, so that the holder doesn't slip out of your hand. From a classic knob (1) and a practical swivelling wooden handle (3) to leather (2) or metal loops (4), there's a wide variety of handle designs.
A kitchen roll holder with a roll stop is particularly practical, as it lets you tear off sheets with one hand.
3. Kitchen roll stands and their materials
Wall-mounted or free-standing – a wide choice of materials means your kitchen roll holder can blend perfectly into your kitchen. While stainless steel (4), marble (2) and leather (5) look refined but also cool, a wooden (3) kitchen roll holder creates a cosy feel. Plastic (6), by contrast, is particularly lightweight. Powder-coated or painted metal (1) comes in a wide range of colours and is stable and robust despite its delicate elements.
Kitchen roll holders made of shiny metal – especially chrome-plated stainless steel – look very high-end, but you'll need to wipe them regularly with a damp cloth to keep them looking good.
"If a consistent look in the kitchen matters to you, choose pieces from the same series. That way, a kitchen roll holder can create a harmonious overall look together with spice mills, carafes and tiered stands." – Viktoria, interior expert
4. Summary – what to look for when buying a design kitchen roll holder
- The right kitchen roll holder depends largely on the kitchen roll you use. In Germany, standard kitchen rolls are 26 cm long with a diameter of 11.5 cm. Depending on the number of plies, the diameter can be larger.
- For carrying it safely, a good handle in the form of a knob, leather or metal loops or a swivelling handle is essential.
- Kitchen roll holders with a roll stop are particularly practical for one-handed use.
- The material of a kitchen roll holder shapes its look and is key to the design: models made of marble, stainless steel and leather look refined, while a wooden kitchen roll holder creates a cosy atmosphere. A plastic version is lightweight, and metal allows for delicate designs.
- For a particularly harmonious kitchen, choose a kitchen roll holder from the same series as your other kitchen accessories.
