A glass spills, a jar breaks, a mess is happening before your very eyes. What's your first reaction? Likely, you're reaching for a paper towel to help keep your home clean. If you can't find that towel or napkin quickly, you're going to get stressed.
Enter: Paper towel and napkin holders. These inconspicuous organizers sit on your countertop to keep your towels and napkins ready at all times! Let's talk about the different types of holders you'll see - and which might be the best for you and your home.
In order for your paper towel or napkin holder to feel truly at home (and therefore truly useful) within your kitchen, you're going to have to find a place for it - so you know exactly where it's going to be when you need a paper towel! To make this really easy, paper towel and napkin holders generally come in two different types:
Wall or Cabinet Mounted: Whether you post one of these vertically on the wall next to your sink or use an under-mount attachment to affix it to the bottom of a cabinet, using a mounted paper towel holder can keep your towels dry - and keep them off the counter. Use one of these if you have limited counter space or like keeping your counters clutter-free.
Stand-Alone: Vertical paper towel roll holders and small square napkin holders alike have one very important trait in common: portability. Use a stand-alone napkin or paper towel holder if you need to move your paper towel source around!
