I bought two of these lamps as a beginning foray in creating a coastal theme living room with a cloth sofa with larger tacks around the entire sofa and a my large recliner that also had the same large tacks, but in two rows in certain areas. The lamps went at each end of the sofa. The swirly blues and greens were the foil for the brown sofa with hints if faint grayish blue and the masculine leather chair. Just two lamps and the room was completely changed. Brought out a few sofa pillows and a blanket over the back of the sofa. Voila! A seaside space!
