Mansion for a moment.
What might replace cardboard toilet paper rolls that doesn't look
quite so, dare I say it, well I don't dare.
What would look better, accomplish the same thing?

Actually, Al's looked like what you imagine, but he wasn't after the aesthetics, just the sonics, for which they worked fine.
I was after both, so I DIYed my own with white ceramic items and filled them, etc. Worked well too, but I think looked better.
something that compliments the decor of the room.
You will need to hunt down some vintage TP tubes however as of late (the past few years)
not only are all the producers of TP providing narrower roles of such but the actual tube is of much
lesser quality cardboard and not of the calibre we became accustomed to for so long.
This of course may provide an audiophile market for intrepid entrepreneurs:
sealed packages of VINTAGE TOILET PAPER for turning into tweaks after wiping.
The Late, Great Al Sekela was of course onto this tweak well before the thin cardboard
toilet role tube became a staple of modern society.

... now that at least some of the toilet paper manufacturers have discovered that by increasing the diameter of their TP tubes they can -- surprise! -- increase their profitability. The larger-diameter tubes will, of course raise your wires farther off the floor.
All of which sounds like a win-win, ifs you don't go often, unless you're like me and discover that you can't tell a damn bit of difference whether the wires are raised or simply sitting on the floor.
@Dave...yeah...I would really be pissed off if that happens.
Thanks for all your input guys. Really appreciate it.
