Not so long ago the WordPress community had a chance to witness the release of Monstroid – a multipurpose WP theme with the capabilities of a framework. In fact, Monstroid is built on top of Cherry Framework with all of its plugins and optimization options.
This theme was released with a splash and managed to attract a lot of attention, partly due to its “updates” policy. Owners of Monstroid not only get lifetime patches and support, but are also allowed to use the entire assortment of readymade designs, switch between them at any time and modify their look. Their number of new subtopics is approximately 10-15 per month. So, we decided to present to you this overview, where new child themes will be added, as they become available.
Let’s investigate the updateable showcase of all of the child themes Monstroid comes loaded with.
1. Furniture Company
Take a look at this creative theme for interior design and furniture websites. It is responsive, image-rich, and clean. Here you will find different types of parallax blocks.

Despite the seeming simplicity, this interior design Monstroid child theme has something to offer even the most fastidious business owners. Its sticky menu turns from transparent to solid as you scroll down the page. What’s more, it has a Mega Menu option, so your visitors will be able to reach just about any page on your website in one click.

This is a powerful trick aimed at directing your customers to any page of your choice on your site.
