The new year is right around the corner, and many people have already started creating their lists of New Year’s Resolutions! Making a promise to yourself for the new year can be incredibly exciting, and on a similar note, we would like to share some ideas on how you can incorporate more Zen into your life in 2017!

1. Something we find to be beneficial, is making sure that you set aside some time every day that is just for you. If you have a bit of extra time in the morning, spend it planning how you would like your day to go, and use some time just to be alone with your thoughts.
2. Planning your meals ahead of time can make you both healthier and happier! If you commit to make time for this, you will find that you will no longer be stressed out about what you’re going to eat for your meals.
3. Make time to rest! Sometimes, we all need a nap. If you find that you are a little tired, take a short nap. You will find that it makes a positive impact on your energy levels for the rest of day, and will typically put you in a better mood!
4. Get out and enjoy some fresh air. If you have an extra 15 minutes, take a walk around your community. To make the walk even more peaceful, leave your phone at home! This way, you won’t have any distractions.
5. Create a serene and tranquil environment in your home. This can be done by adding earth-toned colors to your décor, green plants, or an indoor water feature. One of our products that adds a lot of Zen to a room, is our 500WM bubble fountain.
6. Incorporate cardio or yoga into your day. Even if it’s only 15 minutes, your endorphin's will kick in, making you feel more relaxed. Getting into an exercise routine can also make you feel like you’ve accomplished a little more for the day!

What are some ways that you add Zen to your daily life? If you have one of our bubble water walls, do you feel that it makes you feel more relaxed and at peace? Feel free to let us know in the comment section below!

Adding Zen to interior design is becoming more and more widespread, and is a modern trend. While “Zen” isn’t an actual design style, it is commonly associated with minimalism and simplicity. If this is a style you’re into, we’ve put together five steps to creating a tranquil and serene environment in your home!

1. Keep your furniture simple and natural. Zen and minimalistic furniture tend to have simple and clear lines. There usually is not much complicated detail to the furniture, and it is commonly made of natural materials.
2. Add natural scents to the room. You can do this with essential oils, green plants, or soy candles. These are all natural ways to add fresh scents to your home, and certain scents can be incredibly calming and relaxing.
3. Eliminate clutter and keep accessories to a minimum. Try your best to clear as many items from your home as possible, and only keep the ones that you absolutely need and bring you comfort.
4. Incorporate earth elements. This can either be done with earth-toned paint colors, adding terrariums, or adding some type of indoor water feature. If you’re looking for a bubbling water fountain to keep inside your home, we recommend our 300WM bubble panel.
5. Use soft, natural light. Instead of using florescent lightning, try incorporating wall-mounted reading lights or candle light. You could even use scented candles in a natural scent, as mentioned above. This will not only create a soothing scent, but will provide light, as well.

“How do you make a bubble wall?” is one of the most common questions we receive at Bubblewall.com. We have spent a great deal of time testing and perfecting our products, and while we would prefer not to go too far into specifics, we thought it would be a good idea to give you a glimpse into what goes into designing and creating our bubble walls!

Hundreds of hours have been spent designing and prototyping our various bubble wall models. With each of our bubble wall designs, we start with the intention of creating a functional bubble water feature, as well as a spectacular piece of décor for your home or business! We strive for designs that include premium quality materials and amazing features, like LED lighting and a remote control.

All of our bubble walls are handcrafted in Cincinnati, Ohio. We believe in using the finest materials available on the market, and we use specialized computer software to design each component of our bubble fountains. This ensures top quality fit, finish, and performance of our bubble wall panels. Once we have our premium materials, we assemble our bubble wall tanks, stands, and frames by hand.

We create our bubble wall panels from UV resistant, high impact, 100% acrylic sheet. These are safer, lighter, and many times stronger than glass. We make sure to use the best acrylic panels available in the industry, and that is why our panels are so durable. As far as our frames go, we use only premium-grade architectural aluminum, PVC, and acrylics.

Our bubble aerator wands are handcrafted with a specially designed material. This material creates beautiful infusions of bubbles into our bubble fountains, and is also corrosion resistant! These bubble aerator wands are removable, which allows for easy maintenance and replacement. For more information on how to clean and replace your bubble wands, click here.

LED lighting is a feature that comes included with all of our bubble wall models. This provides high performance, low voltage, and extreme efficiency compared to all other types of bulbs available. What this means, is that there is no heat production and it is inexpensive to operate, all while generating a great light output in your bubble wall! This lighting feature comes with a remote control, allowing you to change the colors of your bubble wall on command.

Lastly, after everything is completed, we move on to prototyping and testing. With each bubble wall, thousands of hours go into this stage. Each unit is tested continuously for months in every possible condition and environment. This way, we can ensure that our bubble fountains will not only look great, but will function properly, and will continue to do so for years to come. It is very important to us that we can assure the best reliability and quality possible, so that all our customers are completely happy with their bubble wall purchases!

If you’re looking to take your salon from ordinary to extraordinary, a bubble fountain is the perfect décor piece for to achieve that! Chances are, there aren’t many salons in your area that have a bubble water feature, so having one in yours will really help you stand out from the crowd. It is an eye-catching piece that will certainly lure in more customers! Here are a few steps you can take to help you decide on the perfect bubble fountain.

1. First, you need to decide if you want it to be more of a showpiece, or a piece that you use as a divider. As a showpiece, our 600FS is a great choice. It is a floor standing unit that will be hard for anyone to miss! If you’re looking to use a bubble panel as a divider, it will undoubtedly still receive a lot of attention. For this, you could choose either our 400SP or 450SP model. These models are our custom units, and you can mount them where ever you please.

2. Next, you should choose a color. A couple of our models come in both a black and a silver finish. Depending on your salon’s current décor, one color may look better than the other. Our 300WM and 500WM both have the option of a black finish, if you feel that, that color would better suit your design style.

3. Last, you have the option of deciding whether you’d like to add a custom logo. All of our bubble panels can be custom engraved. The process is incredibly simple, and if you would like more information on how to have it done, check out this video.

Which bubble water feature have you decided to go with? We’re confident that regardless of which model you choose, you will be extremely happy with it and will find that it is a unique piece of décor that mesmerizes your customers!

Did you have a lava lamp when you were a kid? They were popular in the 70’s and 80’s, and were a decorative novelty item that a lot of children enjoyed having in their bedrooms. They’re not nearly as popular as they once were, but we like to think of our bubble fountains as their modernized, younger brother (or sister).

Bubble walls and lava lamps are similar in a lot of ways. Both create captivating, floating bubbles that appear to be dancing. Our bubble panels come in three different options. Wall-mounted, floor standing, or tabletop. All models are incredibly safe, easy to install, and may even help to bring back that nostalgia of when you were a kid.  They also come with a remote control, which allows you to change the color of your bubble wall to any color you like!

If you’re looking for a gift for a child that is similar to an item you had as a child, we highly recommend a bubble wall! What other decorative items did you have in your room when you were younger?

Have you started your holiday shopping yet? It’s never too early! Whether you have an infant, a school-aged child, or a teenager, a bubble panel would make the perfect Christmas gift!

Watching the dancing bubbles in your bubble panel can be enough to soothe most children, and if that’s not enough, there’s also the soothing sounds the bubble panel makes as the water flows through it.
2. Did you have a lava lamp when you were a kid? We like to think that bubble panels are a more modernized version of that. Not only will your child enjoy it, but it will also help bring back that nostalgia of when you were a kid!
3. All of our bubble panels have an LED lightning system with a remote control. It may be that your child enjoys using it as a nightlight, or they may enjoy creating their own custom colors. Either way, the LED lights are a feature that children of all ages enjoy!

Alright, so maybe you don’t need an entire bar dedicated to bubble walls, but every bar definitely needs something that helps it stand out from other bars. That’s where a bubble wall can come into place. Allow me to assist you in helping you convert your basement into your very own bubble wall bar.

1. Do you know anyone with a bubble fountain in their bar? No? Well, that’s the perfect reason for you to have one in yours! Sure, your friends may have 19 different variations of team banners and NFL memorabilia pinned up all around their basement walls, but big deal. No one has ever sat and stared at a team banner for more than two minutes. Besides, you can set your bubbling water fountain to be whatever color you want. Including the colors of your favorite sports team!
2. Every awesome basement bar has special lighting effects. With an LED bubble wall panel, you can set the LED lights to flash off and on. You can even control the speed of the flashing. This is almost like having a strobe light in your basement. Only your strobe light will be even better, because it will be colored, have bubbles in it, and you’ll be able to control it from an app on your cell phone.
3. It’s the perfect conversation starter. Maybe you’re inviting over a lot of people, and some of them don’t know each other. Rather than having them awkwardly stare at each other and try to think of something to talk about, they can talk about how mesmerized they are by your bubble fountain and how much they wish they had one of their own.

There are other reasons that a bubble wall fountain would be a great addition to your basement bar or game room, but rather than spoil all the fun, we’ll let you find out for yourselves!

1. Top off your bubble fountain regularly to maintain optimum water level.
2. Be sure to keep the plastic insert secured to prevent evaporation.
3. Check the airline connections regularly to inspect for leaks or loosening tubes.
4. To clean, wipe down your bubble panel with a damp, soft towel.
5. Never use abrasive cleaners or glass cleaners.
6. If bubble output becomes clogged, drain the tank and remove the bubble wand tube from the tank by pulling the wand straight out and away from the tank.
7. Wand output holes may be cleaned with a tooth brush.
8. Do not to use metal brushes, picks, needles, etc., to clean your bubble wand, as they could cause damage.
9. To re-insert bubble wand, lubricate with soapy water and slide it back into place.
10. Replacement parts may be purchased here on our website.

There are several benefits you can gain from having an indoor water feature in your home. These bubble fountains are becoming more and more popular, and while they can be very aesthetically pleasing, they have a number of health benefits, as well.

1. Perhaps one of the most obvious benefits is that bubble fountains are great for relaxation and reducing stress. We all get stressed out from time to time, and a bubble fountain can be placed in any room to help create a more relaxing environment.
2. Winter is quickly approaching, which is only going to make the air in our homes even more dry. This can leave your skin feeling uncomfortable and itchy, but with a bubbling water fountain in your home, you will naturally be adding moisture to the room. This is a great benefit for you, but it is also beneficial for any house plants you may have, as well.
3. As mentioned before, many people find bubble fountains to be visually appealing. They enhance the décor of your home, and tend to become a focal point for any room. Not to mention how unique they are!
4. Bubble fountains create the sound of flowing water, which sort of acts as white noise. Many people enjoy this, and find that it also helps to drown out other sounds. Some people even need a sound like this to fall asleep!
5. Bubble fountains act in the same way that air purifiers do. They produce negative ions that attract dust and other irritants, and remove them from the air. Air purifiers aren’t always the best things to look at and can be a little loud, but this problem is solved with a bubble fountain!

Some of these benefits may be better than others, but either way, bubble fountains can help to make your entire household feel better, less stressed, and happier. If you have a bubble fountain in your home, what are some of the advantages you’ve noticed?
