Brass Toilet Roll Holders

About

A brass toilet roll holder is one of the simplest ways to extend a warm-toned bathroom palette from the tapware to the accessories. This collection covers wall-mounted and freestanding options across brushed brass, antique brass, aged brass and polished brass finishes, sourced from bathroom hardware brands that supply the Australian market.

Most freestanding holders weigh under 1.5 kg and have a weighted base for stability. Single post versus recessed and shelved designs Single-post wall holders are the most compact option, typically 120-160mm wide with a spindle diameter of 38-50mm to suit standard rolls. Holders with a integrated shelf add a flat surface above the spindle, useful for storing a phone or spare roll. Recessed holders sit flush inside the wall cavity, which suits new builds or full renovations where wall framing can be modified. They require a cavity of at least 90-100mm deep.
