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!

Horrendous- drug den

Too dark.

I think it's pretty cool, but I have a similarly tiny/boring hallway and mine is decked out with colour changing led strip and mirror ball light shades so...🤷🏼‍♀️😁

It's giving me sex dungeon vibes

The house that taste forgot.

A fire hazard.

An unnecessary drain on resources.

Sorry, but you did ask!

I'd think you are an aging stoner

When are you planning on going?

Go for it! It's fun, and who cares whether other people like it if you do

Honestly? I'd think it was a waste of time in a hallway. They take ages to heat up and too dark. Plus hall lights tend to be on very briefly unless you leave yours on?
Maybe a couple in a living room would work better.

I would think

A) that you don't have the same taste as me
B) that it is awesome that you've done something that clearly brings you joy, and that you are probably quite a joyful person in general

I do get the whole brothel vibes thing, but like it all the same. I would love a friend who I visited frequently to have this, but wouldn’t do it myself, I need brighter light most of the time!

I can picture that so clearly, but also as a Simpsons episode 🤣

I think they look cute but I'd never have them myself. My eyesight isn't great and I need airport levels of lighting in public rooms so that I can see. But the light these throw would be great for when you invite the MIL round of an evening - the dirt down the walls and the bits on the carpet won't show.

I would assume you were never moving ng anything big through the hall again.

This was my thinking 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣Lol!

I’d think it was styled by a student.

The plug thing is a good point, they look quite creative on the mathmos website but the plugs and sockets aren’t showing. You’d need a socket below each one and then have to turn them all on and off one at a time. You’d need normal lights for those times when you come in and need instant full light to see to lock the front door, put your shoes away, whatever and also for cleaning, looking in the mirror. If I did this I suspect I’d use them for about a month and then leave them gathering dust.

Ah these are actually the same ones I believe! In one of the pictures, you can see the mathmos logo.

For everyone asking, I do actually already own a Mathmos lava lamp. Excellent quality and doesn’t get too hot. I can always touch it even if it’s been on for a good few hours.

These comments are sticking out to me more than the sex dungeon comments 😂 because it’s just very ‘me’ and it would make me happy.

I think the people I invite over also have the added context of they actually do know me, and I’m very much not a sex person or a stoner, quite the opposite actually. Just a pretty normal person who really likes lava lamps and somewhat unusual interior design.

The rest of my house is quite normal-ish, we have some bright colours in all rooms but nothing else student-y or remotely sexy☺️

Im really enjoying the honest opinions though.

American students, specifically.

And also, I do have a big dimmable ceiling light in the hallway which I would leave there. I think the house in the pictures has coloured spotlights too

haven't read a single response.... What I would think is...

It's kind of pretty

Someone likes pink & a dimly lit hallway. Hides the dirt on the floor.

If it was more purple I'd find it soothing but red is invigorating. LIke having caffeine in an alcoholic drink. Sort of ruins both effects. Maybe the decorator works shifts and the low light helps them sleep better.

My main objection would have been heat but that would be based on 30 year old experience of lava lamps. If that's not a problem any more, then just do whatever you like. If after a while you don't like it, it's not like it's hard to change.

It’s mad and I love it
