Here at Remodelista, we’ve put a lot of energy into sleuthing the perfect toilet paper holders, toilet brushes and receptacles, doormats, brooms and dustpans, and dish drainers. But somehow, we have overlooked the countertop paper towel holder (perhaps because the more conscientious among us have stopped using paper towels altogether). Nonetheless, if, like me, you aren’t blessed with a built-in paper towel niche in the kitchen, you likely have a roll standing naked on the countertop for use at least now and then. Here are our 10 favorite countertop paper towel holders to help wrangle the roll.
