Lava Lamps: Modern Floor Lamps Or Unsightly Fixtures?

The lava lamp, filled with its smelly gunk, should have remained in the 1960s. It is back in fashion today, reminding me how the little girl I was disappointed her mother by buying one against her wishes.

Most styles fall out of favor but some come back in fashion over the years, and it is not always for the best. The modern wonder that is the lava lamp, for instance, is one sixties fixture that I would have preferred remained confined to that decade.

I thought they were the greatest thing ever when I was a kid: several of my friends had one of those floor lamps at home, and so did my older sister in her apartment. As there was no spare outlet in my bedroom, my mother refused to get me one as I had asked for my birthday and Christmas. She didn't like the way they look so having one in another part of our home was not an option either.

I had always been a well behaved child and listened to my parents, yet my obsession with lava lamps brought out the worst in me: I just had to have one. I managed to save the money I had earned babysitting to go shopping with a girlfriend: a local store was running a sale on lava lamps, so I could not resist the temptation. I thought it would give a really great glow from my closet, so I took my newly acquired lamp to my room thinking that my mom would never find out.

She had however been right about there not being a spare socket in my room: I had to take an extension cord from the storage area and run it behind the dresser in order to get into the closet. I placed the lamp on top of the box that it came with and switched it on. It turned out that the lamp had been on clearance due to its particularly dreadful color, yet I was so excited by my purchase that I really enjoyed watching the brownish orange blobs moving about. Soon afterwards my mother called me down for dinner. We heard a sudden crash upstairs while we were eating. My cat came running down the stairs all puffed up, and flattened to hide under the sofa: she had knocked my new lamp over and scared herself silly in the process.

My mother was wondering were the liquid on the floor came from before she saw the box. The only thing she said was asking me to clean up the mess. This was no easy process: to this day I do not know what kind of liquid goes into lava lamps, but I can tell you that it is slimy and smelly. The blobs were so slippery that they were nearly impossible to pick up, and it took me two hours to have the room cleaned. The smell of the liquid, however, was not going away and I could not sleep in my bedroom that night. I went to tell my mom how sorry I was. This was the only time that she ever said I had disappointed her.

Whenever I see lava lamps in stores today I struggle to remember why I was so obsessed with them, and I can still see my mother's disappointed face as she told me to clean up the mess.

The Need for the Modern Lamp

What is the relevance of lighting inside a house?  Why is it so important that the lighting arrangement be so correct that the décor looks prominent? There are a number of answers that can be attributed to these questions. Lighting is a vital part of any house or accommodation. First of all one would always prefer natural light and any house that is airy and has a provision for a lot of light to come through when the sun is up. When the sun is down or when it is dark outside due to a downpour or a snowfall that is when the lights inside the house matter the most. Then there are times you prefer the lights inside the house than from the outside. The entire décor of the house, one would notice is created and aligned with the lighting inside the house and not outside. It is because the lights inside the house may not be that bright and hence you have the say in the brightness that you want inside. The brightness of the lights varies from place to place within the house. There could be modern lamps illuminating your kitchen with the serene but sufficient glow. You prefer to lounge on your sofa set with a not so bright glow and prefer the room to be lightly brightened. There you can get a modern lamp with lesser brightness, and there are a variety of ceiling and table lamps that will fulfill the right requirement. Then you can look for a modern lamp from amongst a huge variety of lamps, which have been made in a number of materials, be it glass lamps or ceramic lamps. There are some of the best and the finest designs that are available online at the online store, so that not only can you view these designs but also select from amongst them easily. There is a provision to review all the lamps, along with the accessories that have been made available and the costs which most of the times will beat the prices at any competition, without hampering or reducing the quality.
