Let’s face facts: the holidays are well and truly coming, but it seems plenty of people want to up the ante this year by hosting the season in Amazon's $8K bubble house. Or, rather, they would, if it weren’t going to set them back the better part of $10,000.
Yes, it’s one of those garden party ideas that’s certainly captured people’s imagination; a cozy backyard retreat, kitted out with luxurious built-in features like LED lights, a star projector, and wraparound curtains – not to mention more than enough room for all of your mismatched mason jars and outdoor furniture.
Thrown in all the rave reviews from those who’ve shelled out for the Tadeko Backyard Prefab Dome House, and yes; it makes sense why this thoroughly unique twist on the popular garden room trend is making such waves online.
What People Are Saying About Amazon's $8K Bubble House
The general consensus on the prefab dome is this; it’s expensive, true, but it serves as a spot to host your own garden party with not much effort for a huge reward.
“We’ve already hosted get-togethers inside, and guests are amazed at how stylish and functional it is,” reads one online review.
Another review adds: “Rain or shine, the dome makes every gathering feel special.”
And still one more raves: “We added the clear dome as an extra lodging option for our Airbnb property, and guests absolutely love it. It gives them a ‘glamping’ experience with real comfort… and the dome adds huge value to our listing.”
The Dupes
While we’d absolutely love nothing more than to treat ourselves to Amazon's $8K bubble house, it’s worth pointing out that…
Well, that times are hard, money is tight, and there are more than a few other things we could use the cash for in the run-up to Christmas. There, we said it.
Thankfully, there are a handful of dupes available which could help you get the same look for significantly less:
If you’re more of a DIYer than a buyer, you can also snap up the plans for a genuinely stunning geodesic dome via Etsy for under $10.
That being said, you’d need to factor in the cost of building materials, as well as whether or not you realistically have the time and skills to get this homemade twist on Amazon's $8K bubble house together.
One More Option
If you’re a fan of both Amazon's $8K bubble house and the dupes, but aren’t sure how much you’d realistically use them, we have one last option for you: deck out your greenhouse with fairylights, a table and chairs, and some cute blankets, and voila! You have yourself a very cozy wintry celebration space that you’ve upcycled for the occasion… and it means all of your beloved plant babies can also attend the meal, no less.
Whichever route you choose, it’s safe to say that Amazon's $8K bubble house makes one thing abundantly clear; our gardens are the hip and happening place to be, whatever the season. So let’s make an effort to get out there and enjoy them, however that might look.
For me, it’s a mug of hot chocolate on the patio whenever the rain lets up. Even if it means I have to wear a coat to do it.
