The soap holder is one of these small objects whose importance is only realized on the day when one has a beautiful one — and which one regrets not having had earlier.
A soap that melts in a puddle of water at the edge of the washbasin, it is waste soap and a washbasin difficult to clean. A soap holder that lets the water flow under the soap solves this simple but recurring problem, and does so in style if you take the trouble of choosing it with as much care as the rest of the bathroom. At Amberkiln, our selection of soap holders covers all the materials and styles: ceramic soap holder, waxed concrete, gold or black metal, teak wood, natural stone, resin — grooved, openwork, magnetic or pebbly for optimal draining.
The materials of the soap holder: beyond the plastic
The concrete soap holder is the accessory that popularized this material in contemporary bathrooms. Its slightly granular texture, sober grey colour and solidity make it a very popular choice in minimalist or industrial interiors. Thread models allow water to drain efficiently under soap, which prolongs its life.
The teak wooden soap holder has a particular property: the teak is naturally resistant to moisture and mushrooms, making it the ideal essence for the bathroom. Its warm and natural appearance contrasts pleasantly with the usual cold materials of the bathroom — tile, metal, glass. A teak soap holder in a clean bathroom, it is a simple but very effective agreement.
The Soap holder in gold or black metal fits into an overall logic with the rest of the bathroom accessories. A complete range — soap dispenser, soap holder, toothbrush holder, towel holder — in the same metal finish gives the bathroom a visual consistency immediately perceptible. The brushed gold for a warm and luxurious look; the matte black for a contemporary and assertive look.
The Natural stone soap holder — marble, travertine, slate — brings a wealth of incomparable material. Each piece is unique due to the natural variations of the stone. These models are particularly suitable for high-end bathrooms, where a coherence between the stone basin plan and accessories is sought.
The Magnetic soap holder I think it's worth a mention. This ingenious system — a magnet in the base of the soap, a magnetic support attached to the wall — keeps the soap suspended in the air, without contact with any surface. Result: zero stagnant water, zero wet zone, zero hard cleaning. A functionally perfect object, with a minimalist and contemporary visual rendering very appreciated.
Fitting your bathroom accessories
The soap holder should never be chosen in isolation. It is an element of a set that includes at least the soap dispenser, the toothbrush holder and ideally the towel holder and the toilet paper dispenser. Choosing these elements in the same finish and style is the simplest gesture to transform an ordinary bathroom into a space that seems to have been thought out as a whole. It is not a question of budget — a set of concrete or matt black metal accessories can be very accessible — it is a question of intention and consistency.
