Soap Dishes

Soap dishes for solid soap

A bar of solid soap needs a dedicated place between uses. A soap dish keeps it within easy reach beside the basin while preventing the bar from sitting directly on the worktop or in the sink.

Because a soap holder usually remains on display, it also becomes a small part of the bathroom interior. Different colours, materials and shapes make it easy to coordinate the dish with the rest of the room.

How to choose a soap dish

Start by considering the size of the soap bar and the amount of space available around the basin. The soap should sit securely within the dish without extending too far over the edges.

Shape and dimensions also matter. A compact soap dish works well beside a smaller basin, while a slightly larger design provides more room for larger bars of soap.

Help bar soap dry between uses

Solid soap is best kept away from standing water between uses. Some soap dishes use grooves or a shaped surface to help move excess water away from the bar.

Several designs in our UME collection use practical grooves for this purpose. Whatever design you choose, remove excess water and soap residue from the dish regularly.

Materials, finishes and design

Our current range includes soap dishes in materials such as porcelain, stoneware, steel and thermoplastic. The material and finish affect both the appearance and feel of the product.

Explore our Nova collection or Nova One collection for soft shapes and matt surfaces. Always check the individual product details for the exact material and finish.

Coordinate the area around the basin

A soap dish may be small, but its position beside the basin makes its colour easy to notice. Choose a neutral shade for a calm look or use a stronger colour to create contrast.

Pair your soap dish with a soap dispenser, toothbrush mug or other bathroom accessories in related colours and shapes for a more coordinated setup.

Cleaning your soap dish

Water and soap residue can build up in the dish over time. Remove it regularly to keep the surface clean and ready for the next bar of soap.

Always follow the care instructions for the individual product, as cleaning requirements may differ between materials and finishes.
