Stainless steel soap dishes are also suitable for busy kitchens, where they can withstand splashes and heavy use. A wall-mounted model saves space in the bathroom or kitchen, and a soap dish with a suction cup prevents drilling into the wall—ideal if you want to keep the tiles intact.
Important features of a good soap dish
The right choice for a soap dish depends on the material, size, drainage, and style that suits your interior. Below are the most determining features to look out for when going through the Bath&Browsing the Living assortment.
Material & maintenance
Each material behaves differently in a humid environment and reacts differently to a damp bar of soap. You will need to clean the moisture and soap residue left behind by daily use. Ceramic and porcelain are stylish and hygienic: a soft cloth and warm water suffice. Natural stone exudes luxury but requires a little more attention – use a mild, non-aggressive cleaner and avoid descalers or acidic agents that can damage the surface. Polyresin and plastic are the most maintenance-free: wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient. Metal holds up best if you keep it dry regularly to limit limescale or water buildup. Wood and bamboo have a natural look, and bamboo soap dishes absorb little moisture, but they do require occasional treatment to remain beautiful. Regular cleaning of soap dishes prevents mold, regardless of the material.
Shape, size & place on the bathroom vanity
A soap dish must match the size of your washbasin or sink as well as the size of your soap – whether that is a classic bar, a small soap, or a shampoo bar. In our collection, you will find a wide range of sizes: 10 × 13 cm (Blomus SONO), Ø 12 cm (
Drainage and drying time of the soap
A good soap dish allows soap to dry quickly and prevents wear and tear. When a bar of soap is left lying in a puddle of water, it becomes soggy and is used up faster. Soap dishes with drainage prevent water accumulation and extend the lifespan of soap. Self-draining soap dishes have built-in slots for water drainage. Concrete solutions in the range: raised ledges (

Use in bathroom, kitchen and toilet
The same soap dishes found in the bathroom are just as beautiful and practical next to the kitchen tap or in the guest toilet. Place a compact Zack POTES or ABBACO in the kitchen next to the sink for a bar of dish soap—stainless steel is ideal here. A small natural stone HAMMAM dish fits perfectly on a narrow vanity unit and instantly adds a touch of luxury. In the shower, dishes with good drainage are ideal for shampoo bars or conditioner bars, allowing your favorite soap to dry optimally there as well.

How do you choose the right soap dish?
The choice revolves around the available space, your material preference, the style of your bathroom, and your budget. Below are the most important decision criteria.
- Available space - Take the size of your washbasin or hand basin into account. Choose small, round basins (Ø 10–12 cm) for toilet hand basins and longer rectangular models (such as MOON, 13.2 × 8.9 cm) for larger washbasins. A wall-mounted model or a variant with a suction cup saves space if the washbasin rim is limited – a soap dish with a suction cup prevents drilling into the wall.
- Usage & location Distinguish between a soap dish that is primarily decorative by the sink and a model that is used daily in the shower or kitchen. For intensive use, choose extra good drainage and robust material such as polyresin or metal. Soap dishes help soap last longer, especially when the drainage is in order.

Style of your bathroom - Modern and minimalist? Choose Blomus SONO, SAYA, or a soap holder from the brand Zack. Rustic and warm?
Aquanova FIGO or UGO in soft tones. Hotel-chic and luxurious?Aquanova PORTO, NERO, ORION, LUXOR or MUNDO. This is how you find the stylish design that suits you. - Combine with existing accessories - Preferably stick to one series: choose a SONO soap dish if you already have a SONO soap dispenser, or match natural stone with a matching natural stone toilet brush holder. This way, you create a harmonious whole in your bathroom.
- Budget & sustainability - The assortment ranges from approx. €8–10 for simple polyresin or ceramic models up to approx. €50–60 for luxury Italian marble and handmade natural stone. A sustainable choice of quality material keeps your soap beautiful for longer and prevents you from having to replace it quickly. Also compare that to the cost of liquid hand soap in plastic bottles – bar soap in a beautiful dish is often more economical and more environmentally friendly.
