Generally speaking, items made with dirt and stone -like Stone Steps or Stone Pots- tend to have a Normal ambience, items made with wood -like the Rustic Bed or Wooden Floor blocks- tend to have a Natural ambience, items made with metal -like Silver Brick blocks or the Shower- tend to be Cool, items and blocks used by the Children of Hargon -such as Citadel Wall blocks- tend to have a Flamboyant ambience, and "girly" items -like a Princess-Sized Bed- might have a Cute ambience. Only two items have the cheeky ambience: the Naughty Night Light and the Book of Blue Prints.

When crafting blocks and items, the player can see the item's ambience on a bubble over the item's name. Dying blocks and items adds a secondary ambience to them.
