In Germany, there is an almost 60-year-old science fiction series "Raumpatrouille Orion". The outfitters, for the command desk, have painted taps, shower heads, pencil sharpeners and irons silver. In the end it looked very "futuristic". As the saying goes >>Where there is a will, there is a way

Oh yes, set dressers and prop designers have to be creative, especially when they realize they are missing something for the next scene to be filmed and have to cobble something together in 15 minutes. When I interned on a low budget (but still quality) film I learned a lot about what you can bs because very few will even notice if it is done well and blended in. Also that most props often get improvised because the original doesn't work. I actually have my old phone in that film because I was the only one with a Samsung phone but the ones Samsung provided couldn't do what was needed (they were all demo units and couldn't actually make or receive calls). I also got really good at finding exactly what I needed at antique shops (I ended up in charge of seeking and buying specific prop items and set dressings since I knew the area). So yeah, you really need to be good at improvisation, building, and breaking things to be good at set dressing and prop making. Yes, you break a lot of things to make props and sets look right, it is just a matter of breaking them the right way. Aging items precisely is an art form in itself.
