TOP 4: The best soap dishes

A soap dish might not be the first thing you think of when remodeling your bathroom, but there's nothing more annoying than a bar of soap melting down the side of the sink, or a bar of soap that's constantly getting lost on your shower floor, which can only lead to a slippery floor.

What's so useful about soap dishes ?

While many of us use liquid soap these days, bar soap is making a comeback as an eco-friendly, low-plastic alternative. Investing in a soap dish not only shows off your soap, but it also saves you time from frequently wiping down the sink.

A soap dish is also much more hygienic than simply leaving your soap on your countertop without a receptacle. Ventilation holes allow a wet bar of soap to drain and dry without coming into contact with the sink surface, and many of them usually feature a handy basin section to quickly and easily remove excess water.

If you're short on space, look for soap dishes that can be mounted to the wall , which is also great for showers. Finally, a soap dish can add a bit of style to your bathroom , just like any other accessory.

We’ve selected some of the best Love&Soap soap dishes to keep your bathroom sparkling and your soap clean and dry. Take a look at our roundup for inspiration and for more bathroom ideas, you can check out our Pinterest .

No. 1/ The wooden soap dish

This all-natural wooden soap dish is a little different from the traditional soap dishes you'd expect to see in most bathrooms, which is why it's a popular choice in modern bathrooms. The wood is varnished with natural oils that protect it from water, so you can expect this soap dish to hold up well. It has drainage holes to dry the soap and increase its lifespan.

2°/ The stainless steel wall-mounted soap dish

This soap dish is no frills, but it is designed to keep your soap within reach while you are in the shower. The soap dish screws into the wall to hold your soap at the optimum height for the shower and allow excess water to drip down to the bottom of the shower, creating no mess. It is no frills, but practical and comes in a classic silver and chrome colour that will complement most bathroom fixtures.

3°/ The wall-mounted soap dish with drain

For those who prefer a bath to a shower, this soap dish fits perfectly at the end of your bath, with a waterfall-shaped edge that allows your bar of soap to easily drain after use. It's made of plastic, so it's not the fanciest on the market, but users have found it incredibly handy for keeping their soap clean and dry.

No. 4/ The suction cup soap dish

This shiny soap dish is ideal for placing inside the shower or on the side of the bathtub. It requires no installation as it uses a suction cup to stick to the wall. This design allows the soap to dry and excess water to simply drain out the bottom, leaving no streaks and a clean, dry bar of soap. Users love the simplicity of this item and the fact that it matches most chrome bathroom fixtures.
