Futureshock Sets: Kitchen, Dinning Room, Living room, Bedroom and Bathroom. Future Shock has been a style on the store for quite some time, with new sets being added over time. We now have a great array of items to decorate a complete house, which of course is awesome! Through time and space, this set takes us right into the future and although it looks like a very specified style it is in fact rather versatile!
Each piece has many channels for recoloring and re-texturing so you can achieve almost any look you want. The living room and kitchen sets give us the ability to not only change color and textures, but change the color of the lights. This means you can pick any color palette you desire. Unfortunately, the bedrooms and bathroom don't let us change the color of the lights or the yellow stripes on the bathroom set, which is a downside to this collection. Nonetheless it's still rather versatile. Woods and stone can give a nice modern or eco feel, whereas bold colors and patterns can give a 60s or 70s flair!
I think what I like most about this set is that there are so many options. Once you start playing with patterns and textures, you can create many different looks that look great in any town and not just Lunar Lakes. These sets work well with each other and blend nicely with other items. There is nice selection of functional furniture such as beds, chairs, and tables among other items, but there is also a lot of decor and entertainment items. The base style of gleaming metals and bright blue lights can be slightly off-putting to some as it looks like it would be more suited to Star Trek, but you can tone down the pieces very easily and make them feel more homey.
I quite like using woods and soft fabrics to give a relaxed and almost beach-like feel to this set. The cool lights and the slick feeling of the shapes give a modern twist creating a house with great character and at the heart of this collection that is what shines through; character. So whether you want a retro pink palace, a laid back surf hut, or a modern gothic dream, this set is sure to give your build that extra bit of personality!
