I would put it in my youngest son’s room as he would really like the way the lava lamp moves. Of course his sister and brother might get jealous. Maybe it would be better to put it in the living room!

Our high school drama club kids want a lava lamp in the costume room. I think it would be an inspiration and, of course …. just plain cool to look at!
Karen Collins says
This would look awesome in my office! I’m lucky to spend every day in a very mid-century building designed in the 60’s by the founder of the architect firm where I work.
I would turn this on to brighten up the dark, cloudy days 🙂
I luva luva luva lava lamps!!
Dale says
This lamp would look perfect on my 1963 White Westinghouse console stereo, next to the orange lucite grapes!!!
Annie says
This would go in my cubicle, for sure.
Julie Wallace says
Would be great in our family room! Thanks!
Rebecca B says
I would use the lava lamp in my office — it could use some retro glam!

I would put the Lava Lamp on my vintage console Hi-FI in my mid century living room!
Ann Baker says
I’ve been trying to get my kids to enjoy mid-century design, so they won’t detest going through antique stores and flea markets. So, I’ve encouraged them to collect something. So far, he’s taken to Lava Lamps. So, he wants to start a collection. So far, he has one.
Victoria says
I would have it on my bedside and watch it to relax. As a child I saved up money and bought one from Ames and watched it at night before bed, I don’t know why I found it so relaxing.
