Toilet paper to the left or right

bathroomtoilet

I just repainted my bathroom, and at the same time decided to replace the toilet paper dispenser. I patched the holes from the previous TP holder, so I'm starting with a clean slate.

I'm at the point where I'm ready to install the new dispenser, but I'm not sure which side to hang it on. the walls on both sides of the toilet are an equal distance away, so that is no help in making the decision. And there are no obstructions or other factors to consider, so I'm having a difficult time trying to choose.

Is there a standard when it comes to this, or is it just personal preference? Does handedness of the majority users play a factor? Is there a standard height?

I know this seems like an odd question and it's possibly argumentative, but I have not been able to find any studies or research on the subject. So I figured I'd ask for help.

My suggestion would be to put it on the side that makes it invisible or less obvious when looking into the bathroom from outside it.
