Bathroom accessories are typically among the last items to be installed during a remodel or new construction job. This is also an area where it's easy to make mistakes, resulting in costly damage to tile work and other finishes.” —The Spruce

Master bath in the Habitat for Humanity house. Among other things here and elsewhere in the house, I was tasked with hanging the mirror and the toilet paper holder here.

Hanging the mirror was pretty straightforward, but, it turns out, there are recommendations for placement of a toilet paper holder. The National Kitchen & Bath Association and Americans with Disabilities Act both weigh in on this task.

From The Spruce: “The ADA recommends installing the toilet paper holder anywhere between 15 and 48 inches from the floor. The NKBA, on the other hand, recommends 26 inches as the ideal height. The NKBA also states that the holder should be 8 to 12 inches in front of the front edge of the toilet, measured to the center of the holder.

I couldn’t comply with the NKBA or ADA recommendations, so here is where I installed the toilet paper holder. Seeing where another volunteer placed it in the other bathroom, I probably wouldn’t do it this way if I had to do over again, but live-and-learn?
