We all love watching friends and I’m pretty sure we’ve never missed an episode in the show’s 10 seasons. As much as we love the characters in the show, we also love their homes, jobs and who can forget the coffee shop? If you too want to live in a fun and funky house like FRIENDS Monica Geller’s, then you’re in luck.
Things we covered for you

We have a few easy tips that you can use to recreate her ‘anything goes’ apartment-style in your very own home.
1. Wooden Floors or Dark Tiles
Monica’s apartment has dark tiles on the floor to help the furniture really stand out, especially since all her furniture was in light shades.
2. Use Carpets
One of the first things you’ll notice about her apartment is that it doesn’t have walls to separate the living room and the kitchen. This is done by using rugs, the huge rugs help to create a definite living room space.
3. Bold Colours
Her apartment is purple! Although we tend to miss it, the apartment is actually painted a bold purple. The bold colour scheme doesn’t just end here, the kitchen shelves are painted turquoise. One could never imagine these colours being used, but they look great together.
4. Neutral Sofas
Monica’s large 4–5-seater couch on Friends was a lovely cream colour and she had an armchair that was pale salmon. The use of different armchairs and neutral colours helped to tie the room together.
5. Eclectic Dining Room
Her dining table was a simple round one, but what gave it oodles of character was the mix of chairs around her table. The chairs didn’t match and they changed through the seasons. The mix of chair colours and designs kept our focus.

6. Open Storage
Although Monica was a clean freak, she never hid any of her kitchen utensils or crockery. She had beautifully maintained open shelves that she used to display her eclectic collection of kitchenware.
7. Coffee Tables
If you haven’t noticed, she had plenty of side tables and each of these tables was different from the other.
8. Soft Lighting
Instead of having one or two primary sources of light Monica’s apartment had plenty of lamps and sconces (wall lights) to give her home the proper lighting it needed.
9. Cushions and Throws
Every piece of furniture in the apartment is adorned with throws and cushions. These add colour to the neutral furniture and also lends a sense of comfort and warmth to the room.
10. Vintage Prints
Monica Geller’s house’s walls were decorated with vintage prints and art posters. These are easily available online and found at flea markets too.
