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!

WE’RE HIRING! Are you creative, flexible, good with time

management and dependable? If so we’re,
