Phoenix Toilet Roll Holders

So, You Think a Toilet Roll Holder Doesn't Matter? Let's Talk About Phoenix

Alright, let's have a real chat. When you're in the thick of planning a bathroom reno, lost in a sea of tiles and vanities, the humble toilet roll holder is probably the last thing on your list. We know. But we've been in this game a long time here at The Blue Space, and we've seen it over and over. It's the little things that make or break a room. The finishing touches. And getting that final detail right is what separates a pretty good bathroom from a truly brilliant one. Phoenix gets this. And if you ask us, they get it better than anyone else. Honestly, our whole team has a bit of a crush on their stuff. They just nail that sweet spot of killer looks, bomb-proof quality, and designs that actually make sense. It’s the final piece of the puzzle you didn't know you needed.

But What Is a Phoenix Toilet Roll Holder, Really?

Let's cut through the noise. A Phoenix toilet roll holder holds your toilet paper. End of story. But that's where the comparison to those cheap, wobbly ones from the hardware shed stops. Phoenix is an Aussie brand, and they're obsessed with getting the details right. These things aren't flimsy. They're built from solid stuff, proper metal. Pick one up. It's got some heft to it. They're designed to be fixed to your wall and stay there, no wobbling, no drooping, for years. You're not just buying a bit of bathroom hardware; you're buying a small slice of permanence. And because they've created this huge palette of styles and finishes, you can get everything to line up. Your taps, your shower, all your other bathroom accessories... it all just clicks together. It makes the whole room feel intentional.

Where Do They Work? Honestly, Put Them Anywhere.

The best thing about the Phoenix range is how it just seems to fit. We've seen these holders go into every kind of home imaginable, and they never look out of place. Think of a sharp, minimal apartment downtown. A Phoenix holder in matte black or gunmetal from their Vivid Slimline range just belongs there. It's got that clean, no-fuss attitude. Then picture a classic suburban home, maybe one with a bit of a Hamptons vibe going on. The Phoenix Nostalgia range in Chrome or Brushed Nickel slides right in, bringing a classic feel without being stuffy. It feels settled. And we've seen them used in properly gutsy, colourful bathrooms where a Brushed Gold holder acts like an earring for the room. A flash of something special. Because the designs themselves are so clean, they support your style instead of screaming over it. So whether you’re gutting the place or just want to give the loo a weekend refresh, switching the holder is a tiny job with a massive payoff.

Let’s Look at the Different Flavours

Phoenix isn't a one-trick pony. They know one person’s bathroom is a sanctuary and another’s is a high-traffic warzone. So they’ve cooked up a few different takes on the humble toilet roll holder. As we see it, you've got some cracking choices.

The Standard Single Holder

This is your faithful workhorse. The original. It holds one roll, it looks fantastic, and it comes in a wild number of styles. You’ve got the super-clean look of the Radii collection or the sharp, architectural lines of the Vivid Slimline. There’s a shape for every personality. Can't go wrong.

Double Toilet Roll Holders

Okay, this is our hot tip for any family bathroom. Or for anyone who just hates running out. A double toilet roll holder stops the "who finished the loo roll?" argument dead in its tracks. You've always got one in reserve. It's such a simple upgrade, but it's a genuine quality-of-life improvement. And Phoenix makes them look just as slick as the singles, so you're not trading good looks for practicality.

Holders with a Little Shelf

This is just plain smart. A toilet roll holder with a shelf is made for the world we live in now. It's the perfect spot to plonk your phone. It can also hold a little bottle of room spray or a tiny plant. For a small powder room where every centimetre counts, that little landing strip of space is a godsend.

Spare Toilet Roll Holders

If you want that slick, organised hotel vibe, a spare toilet roll holder is the answer. It's a simple vertical rod that neatly stacks your backup rolls. Gets them off the floor, off the cistern, and into a tidy little column. It's a classy move.

And The Colours. Oh, The Colours.

Right, this is the fun part. This is where you make the room yours. Phoenix are masters of finishes. They give you this whole toolbox of colours to play with, so you can create that seamless, put-together look. It’s what we love most.

• Chrome: The icon. It's bright, it's bulletproof, and it plays nice with every other colour. A Chrome toilet roll holder is always a safe, and stylish, bet.

• Brushed Nickel: A bit more low-key than chrome. Brushed nickel has a soft, almost velvety look and is brilliant at hiding fingerprints, which makes it a winner for the kids' bathroom.

• Matte Black: It's a look. Full stop. A black toilet roll holder is confident, graphic, and looks absolutely killer against a plain tile. A current favourite for a reason.

• Gunmetal: Think of it as black's more mysterious cousin. Gunmetal is a deep, moody grey that feels very architectural and cool.

• Brushed Gold & Brass: Want to add a bit of warmth? A bit of sparkle? This is how you do it. Gold or brass brings a glow to a room that can feel a bit clinical otherwise.

• Bronze: Deeper and earthier. Bronze has a certain weight and history to it, perfect for spaces with a more rustic or traditional feel.

• Champagne: Super elegant. Champagne is a soft, pale gold that’s not too flashy. It’s subtle and very, very chic.

• White: For the true minimalist, a white toilet roll holder can almost disappear against a white wall for the cleanest possible look.

Here's Why We Actually Recommend Them

So why do we point so many people towards Phoenix? After you’ve handled as much bathroom gear as we have, you just know what’s good. Here's the real talk.

1. They’re Built Tough

This is the big one. Phoenix accessories are not messing around. They use proper materials like stainless steel and brass, so they don’t rust or pit in a steamy bathroom. The finishes are tough as nails too. You're buying something that's going to look just as good in five years as it does the day you install it.

2. It’s Easy to Get a Matched Set

Phoenix makes it dead simple to get that polished, "everything-belongs" look. You can grab your toilet roll holder, towel rail, and robe hook from the same family, like the lovely Cromford or the airy Nuage range. That kind of consistency is what makes a space feel resolved and professional.

3. The Design is Just Better

These things are properly designed. They're not just lumps of metal. The shapes are considered. They feel good to use. Look at the simplicity of the Gloss range. They sweat the small stuff, like how easily the roll spins or how securely it fixes to the wall. It's that blend of looking good and working well that sets them apart.

Last Few Tips From Us

Before you hit 'buy', just a couple of last thoughts from our team. The practical stuff.

First up, placement. Think about where it's going to live. The usual spot is on the wall beside one of your toilets. Actually sit down and see where your hand naturally wants to go. Don't put it too far back or too low, so you’re not doing that awkward reach-and-twist move every time. If there's no good wall space, the side of a vanity can work a treat.

Next, the install. Phoenix kits come with everything you need for a solid, wobble-free fit. The instructions are clear. But if you’re drilling into tiles and feeling nervous, get a handyperson. It’s a five-minute job for them and saves you the potential heartache of a cracked tile.

And last, check your finishes in the room itself. A colour can look different online than it does under your specific bathroom lighting, next to your chosen tiles. Getting the finish right is the final handshake that pulls the whole design together. A bathroom where everything clicks is a space you'll love being in. And that's the whole point, isn't it?
