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!
