I have missed my original Lava Lamp for years now and have been asking my husband to buy me one. I would put my Lava right in my family room where we all spend our time. It will go perfect with my colors and my crazy 8 ball for everyone to see and enjoy.
Love the memories of the era.

A lava lamp would look perfect in my den area. This is where our friends usually gather since the records and record player are in that room. The lava lamp would really groovy that space up and create a far out vibe!
Karen says
A lava lamp would be the perfect accent piece for the 1960’s stereo console found at a local yard sale!

I’d love the lava lamp in my living room reminding me of lava lamps past that I’ve had over many decades!

My grandparents had a lava lamp that we got to turn on as a special treat during holidays. Sadly it (along with all number of kitschy Christmas ornaments, blow-mold santas, googie ash trays, and other treasures) didn’t make the move to their last house. I like to picture all these things floating around mid Florida, waiting for me to take an epic thrifting trip…
Nicholas says
I would put the lava lamp in front of the picture window in the front room … because it needs a bit of the 1970s in that spot!

Myself, I love the style, the retro look of the lava lamp and mainly the Era in which it represents.
My husband has good memories of visiting his grandmother and sitting and watching her lava lamp. several years ago I purchased a lava lamp for his birthday not knowing the color of his grandmothers, I bought a red one, which was the same color as his grandmothers. We still sit and watch the lamp and talk of good days now and back then.. Simple things are so worth it!
Alesha says
We would use this in our basement where we watch TV nightly! We have a lava lamp down there now, but two is better!
