Perfect for bedside tables or for use an accent lamps. The beige color is complementary to every color, and the ceramic base adds texture to my home decor- the lamp shades are rolled HOWEVER, I do not think that is should be a deterrent. They unroll and go together seamlessly and really you cannot tell that they are not a traditional lamp shade. 
I spent a lot of time looking for a pair of lamps for my new construction home, and I finally found exactly what I had in mind. I love wayfair, and I cant wait to furnish my new home over time with Wayfair!
