What would you think if you walked into someone’s house and saw this?

Wait for the pics to load.
saw these on Reddit. Thinking of doing something similar but not sure if I’ll look mad!

Mine is in three sections that lift apart but about 10 years ago I bought a child safe one for my DC that is held together by a screw and is shatterproof and cooler. I just looked at the wall mounted ones and they are that type and secured together in the same way. All Mathmos (the original) brand.

I thought it looked like a brothel.

I’d think… Ooooof, migraines! 🤷‍♀️

Sensory room.

Your house should be your happy place. This idea obviously makes you really excited, so go for it! Easy enough to switch out for “normal”
lights (maybe with those colour change bulbs) if you want to later.

Would I want it in my home? No. Would I think you were bonkers if I saw it in your home - yes, maybe a bit… But I’d also think you were confident, fun and a bit out of the box. I definitely think I’d have more fun at your house than at an ever-so-tasteful all-beige playing it safe Pinterest box.

Hallway is an odd place to put them (I think that’s a hallway). The lights in the corridors just get clicked on and off quickly and you wouldn’t be hanging around staring at the fun blobbiness - even if you kept them on for long enough to heat up.

Maybe a couple wall mounted in a dining room would work

It gives brothel vibes which I suspect isn't the look you're going for.

Hmmm. My first thought was brothel or house of horrors or imagine trying to find my towels in the linen closet in that low light.

Practically, it takes time for lava lamps to heat up & our hallway lights are on then off. Electricity is too expensive here.

I would just think 'how odd', though, and nothing more. It's not offensive & easy to change out. It's the structural modifications that completely change a house that make me concerned! I saw a heritage house in a heritage area, on tv last week, they'd put a Spanish patio on the front!

Oh I love that! But I’m somewhat of an eccentric decorator myself 😂

Well you can’t leave the lamp on for more than 4 to 6 hours and then you’re supposed to let it cool for 30 minutes before turning on again.
Not really a practical hall light.
If you decide to go ahead then you should probably check your house insurance policy first.

I would think your mum finally let you make a choice.
And you are under 12.
And a boy.

Kindly meant , Star Trek meets Brothel...sorry not my taste at all. Is it to lighten a narrow space like the first photo?

I love a lava lamp - but I believe these are plug in rather than mains wired... Have a look at the Mathmos website - I wouldn't fancy the wires running down the walls below them.

What of you need to see something? I would think you were batty as a fruit cake if I saw this in real life.

Very cool!

I am thinking lady of the night, student flat or a rave involving lots of illegal drugs. If that is the vibe you are seeking, go for it! I wouldn’t actually let my children stay there unsupervised for any amount of time alone though...

Red light Amsterdam vibes

Not to my taste but ‘horses for courses’. I just hope they are low energy bulbs.

Exactly what I was thinking

Brothel
sex club
student abode
mystic Meg house
spaced out on weed people

And of course you can’t see a thing so it is dangerous lighting for a hall. Give it 48 hours and you’ll start to hallucinate, in a week you’ll wonder what on earth you were thinking of.

Swingers house

I'd think - I'm back in the 1970s!!

Find geometric wallpaper to accompany the lamps.
White, orange, lime and brown.

Definitely Sex People.
