Clark Toilet Roll Holders

Clark Toilet Roll Holders: The Perfect Finishing Touch for Your Loo

You’ve done it. You’ve picked the perfect tiles, the dream vanity, and one of those unreal toilets that looks absolutely ace. The bathroom is almost there. But then you look over and see it. The sad, forgotten detail. A cheap, wobbly toilet roll holder that was probably there when you moved in. Or worse, the spare roll is just sitting on top of the cistern (we see this all the time, so no judgment!). Look, we’ve all been there. It’s that final one percent of a renovation that often gets overlooked. But our team can tell you, it’s the small details that make a room feel genuinely finished. And that’s where finding the right toilet roll holder comes in. It’s a small piece of hardware that does a heap of work, both in function and style, which is why we think the range of Clark toilet roll holders is a brilliant place to start looking. They nail the brief.

So, What Exactly Are We Talking About?

Okay, let's get straight to it.

A toilet roll holder is simply a fixture designed to hold a roll of toilet paper; that’s its whole job. But the way we see it, its job is also to look smart while doing it. It’s one of those essential bathroom accessories that you’ll use every single day, so it needs to be solid, well-placed, and match the look you’re going for (nothing worse than a wobbly one). The days of a simple spring-loaded plastic spindle are long gone. Thank goodness. Today’s options are cleverly-designed pieces that contribute to the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. And the Clark brand has really thought about this. They create pieces that feel solid and look superb without being ridiculously expensive. They are proper, well-made items that stand up to the daily grind of a busy bathroom (think steam, splashes, the lot), and we love them for that.

Where Do Clark Toilet Roll Holders Fit In?

Dead set, pretty much anywhere.

We’ve seen Clark products work beautifully in so many different Aussie homes, which is a big part of their appeal because they have a knack for designing things that feel both current and timeless. It's a tricky balance to get right.

Imagine a sleek, uncluttered apartment in the city. You’ve got clean lines, polished concrete floors, maybe a floating vanity. A simple, elegant wall-mounted toilet roll holder from the Clark Square collection in a matte black finish would be the ticket here. It doesn't scream for attention; it just complements the space.

But then think about a busy family home in the suburbs. The bathroom is a high-traffic zone (especially with kids running around). You need things that are practical and can withstand a bit of chaos. A hardy chrome holder is easy to clean and always looks clean. Maybe even a double holder to stop the arguments over who used the last of the loo roll. Problem solved.

Or what about a coastal home with a relaxed, breezy vibe? A brushed nickel or even a soft brass holder can add a bit of warmth and class. It catches the light in a really lovely, subtle way. It’s these little choices that pull the whole room together. They make it feel thoughtfully designed, not bodged together (you can always tell the difference). Clark has options for all these scenarios, which is why our team recommends them so often: they’re versatile and they last.

Let’s Break Down the Different Kinds

You've got more choice than you think.

Choosing a toilet roll holder isn't just about picking a colour. The actual design and function can make a real difference to your daily routine. Here are the main types we see customers gravitating to right now.

The Standard Single Holder

This is the trusted choice. One arm, one roll. It's clean, simple, and does the job perfectly (no fuss, no drama). The Clark designs are great because they come in various styles. The Clark Round collection offers a softer, more traditional feel with its gentle curves, while the Square collection gives you that sharp, sharp-angled edge. Most are an 'open' design. This means you can just slide the roll on and off from one side. It's so much easier than battling with those old spring-loaded spindles, which is a small thing but a big win.

Double Trouble: The Double Holder

Running out of paper is the worst.

This is the ultimate solution for busy family bathrooms or even the master ensuite. A double toilet roll holder holds two rolls at once. You’re never caught short. It’s a lifesaver (and maybe a marriage-saver, too). It also means you're not changing the roll quite as often, so we’ve seen these become more and more popular, especially in main bathrooms where you have the wall space for a slightly larger fixture. While it’s pure practicality, Clark makes sure it looks good too.

The Handy Holder with a Shelf

This one is a game-changer.

A toilet roll holder with a built-in shelf is a brilliant idea. So simple. It gives you the perfect little spot to place your phone. Or a small decorative item like a plant or a candle (we're big fans of a bit of greenery). In a small powder room, you might not have a vanity right next to the toilet. This little shelf is wildly handy there. It's a small touch of convenience that makes such a big difference that we've found customers who choose one never go back to a standard holder.

Just in Case: The Spare Holder

For those who love a bit of extra security, there's the spare toilet roll holder. This is usually a vertical rod. It sits near the main holder and can store two or three extra rolls. It keeps them off the floor or the back of the toilet. They look neat and tidy. It’s a ripper of an option for guest bathrooms because it ensures visitors always have what they need without rummaging through your cupboards, turning a practical necessity into a clean, organised design feature.

The Real Benefits of Choosing a Good One

It’s more than just a place to hang the paper.

When you invest in a quality piece like a Clark toilet roll holder, you’re getting more than you might think, and here’s what our team at The Blue Space sees as the proper wins.

1. It Creates a Cohesive Look

A great bathroom design is all about cohesion. It's about making sure all the little pieces work together. The finish on your tapware, your shower head, and your towel rail should all connect. And yes, so should your toilet roll holder. Clark makes this stupidly simple with their bathroom accessories ranges. You can get everything in the same style and finish, and this consistency is what separates a good bathroom from a great one. Are you going for classic chrome, modern black, or warm brushed nickel? Whatever your choice, you can create a seamless look that feels cohesive and polished.

2. It’s Built to Last

You touch your toilet roll holder every day. It needs to be tough. There’s nothing worse than a fixture that comes loose from the wall after a few months. Clark uses quality materials like brass and stainless steel, so their products feel solid and secure. They are designed for the damp, humid environment of a bathroom. They will resist rust and corrosion. You’re buying a piece that will look and function perfectly for years to come, which is a small investment for long-term peace of mind.

3. The Finishes Are Incredible

The finish you choose has a massive impact on the feel of your bathroom. It’s your chance to add some personality. Clark offers a fantastic array of options to match any style.

• Chrome: Timeless, bright, and super easy to clean. It works with everything.
• Matte Black: Bold, crisp, and dramatic. It creates a striking contrast, especially against light tiles.
• Brushed Nickel: A softer, more contemporary alternative to chrome. It has a slightly warmer tone and is great at hiding fingerprints.
• Gunmetal: A deep, moody grey that feels incredibly sophisticated and industrial, and we love it for a touch of drama.
• Brushed Brass & Gold: These finishes bring warmth and a sense of luxury. Gold and brass are perfect for adding a little bit of glamour.
• White: A minimalist's dream. White accessories can blend seamlessly into a white-tiled wall for a really clean look.
• Bronze & Champagne: For something a little different, bronze or champagne offer unique tones that feel both classic and fresh.

Having this much choice is great. It means you don't have to compromise on your vision.

A Few Other Things to Think About

Just a bit of friendly advice from our team.

Before you hit that 'buy' button, there are a couple of practical things we always tell our customers to consider. Getting this right saves headaches later on.

Where to Put It

Placement is key. What's the golden rule? Mount the toilet roll holder where you can reach it easily. Naturally. Without straining or twisting. The ideal spot is usually just in front of the toilet. And slightly above the height of the bowl. A common measurement is about 65cm off the floor and about 20-30cm in front of the toilet bowl. Sit on the toilet and see where your hand naturally falls, because that’s your spot. Make sure it's not somewhere it will get knocked constantly or block a walkway. And check what's inside the wall before you drill, as you'll want to fix it to a stud if possible for a rock-solid installation. If not, make sure you use the right wall plugs for plasterboard.

Left or Right?

This depends on your bathroom layout. Most people are right-handed, so placing it on the right-hand side is common. But if there’s a wall, vanity or door on that side, the left might be your only option. Also, think about the design of the holder itself. Most single-arm holders are 'open' on one side. Just make sure you install it correctly. The open end should face away from the direction you pull the paper. This stops the roll from flying off every time you use it—a small detail that makes a big difference.

Think About the Future

Are you planning to stay in your home for a long time? Or is this a renovation for a rental property? Choosing a classic finish like chrome or brushed nickel is always a safe and savvy bet since they have broad appeal and won't date quickly (which saves you money and hassle down the track). If it's your forever home, feel free to be a bit bolder with a finish like matte black or brushed gold. It’s your space, so make it one you totally adore. But no matter what, choose a quality brand like Clark. It means you won't have to worry about replacing it anytime soon. And that’s what good design is all about.
