Welcome to the Monica kitchen!
One of the inexhaustible sources of inspiration for kitchen design is our favorite movies and TV series. Agree, we are watching a comedic sitcom or a romantic melodrama - we invariably observe not only the heroes, but also the environment surrounding them. In the kitchen, the heroes not only eat, but also discuss their successes and failures, joke and have fun - in general, a considerable share of airtime falls right here. Why not analyze the interiors of the kitchens of cult TV shows from different eras and not adopt successful ideas for arranging your kitchen?
We will begin the analysis of television, perhaps, with the most cult comedy sitcom “Friends” (F.R.I.E.N.D.S.) and the most recognizable kitchen interior.
So what can we learn in the interior of the kitchens of the six main favorites of the TV viewers of all times? The kitchen in Monica Geller's apartment is combined with the living room - a similar way of zoning the space is now popular in Russia. Indeed, besides the obvious increase in usable space, this is a whole springboard for creativity!
If we can characterize an apartment as a whole as eclectic, then the interior of Monica’s kitchen is made in a style close to country style: natural materials are used everywhere; The facades, furniture and fittings are wooden, and the window has curtains made of light cotton with the image of bunches of grapes. Wall-mounted cabinets without doors allow you to quickly get everything you need, and pans and pots hang on the wall directly above the stove. It is these details that distinguish country stylefollowed by Monica. How did she diversify him? To the kitchen area was not too faceless, the main tool of diversity here is the color of the facade. Blue-green, it is interesting to combine with the lavender-colored walls in the adjacent living room and brick-trimmed walls in the kitchen.
In addition, Monica brings a bit of mischief with the help of furniture - so, we see different chairs around the round table - the same meeting place for the heroes. They can be of different colors, with different upholstery or pattern of the back, even seat covers are different! They are united only by size and material - usually it is an ordinary tree (in modern realities, it is rather a chipboard or veneer).
Of course, it would be a bust to combine several textures together - say, a futuristic copper chair from Haas Brothers, plastic Calligaris and the classic “Bure” from IKEA. By the way, the round table is an excellent solution for houses, where there are always guests. The sincerity of conversations due to ensuring eye-to-eye contact behind them will simply go off-scale. And how convenient it is for board games! We remember how “Friends” played poker for him, for this he also fits just perfectly.
The details that are familiar to our view are, of course, fridge magnets and decorative plates on the wall. We all love to bring memorable souvenirs from travels and construct a kind of altar of trips in the kitchen. This is a great refreshing view of the kitchen, if it fits into its style, and country music fits perfectly for this.
Where can one buy?
We picked up a few links for those who want to make their kitchen look like Monica's.
- Upper drawers without doors is a kind of "calling card" of Monica's kitchen. Many housewives may find it impractical to store dishes and food in this way: you need to constantly wipe the dust, make sure that some products do not get light, and many other little things ... If this option is too "extreme" for you, then you can start small and hang one a small shelf without doors. Vintage lilac box can be filled with colored dishes - the mood at the sight of it will instantly improve even on the most overcast days.
You can buy here.
- If you want to find furniture for the dining area as similar to Monica's furniture as possible, then the search keyword will be “mismatched” (unreadable, unsuitable - ung). Well, in fact, any round wooden table will suit, for example, LEKSVIK sliding table from IKEA.
If a suitable table has already been found for a long time, and you don’t want to paint the chairs yourself, then there is an opportunity to individually order “inappropriate” chairs to each other in the Emily Rose vintage store here.
- Ceramic coasters for kitchen utensils are now sold in almost any store, but if you need exactly the same thing that Monica had, go ahead to Cynthia’s Attic Antiques and Collectables, which sells various vintage items, including the kitchen.
Another vintage store, Clopedi’s Antique, offers to buy an original stand for a culinary spoon in the form of a mustache. Only true fans will be able to venture on the purchase - the price of $ 500 pushes away a little: link.
- If the creation of the kitchen "like Monica" you have only in the plans so far, you can do a kind of visualization. The guys from Beautiful Peace just draw cool posters on various subjects, including making original images of kitchens from different TV shows.
- We all have not only the kitchen, but also the Monica’s apartment itself is associated with the yellow frame on the front door that frames the peephole. Today, there are many shops that make a replica of this frame, we traditionally offer to look at Etsy.

- To show love for the show can be the easiest way - through the dishes with quotes from the series and inscriptions like "I love FRIENDS". Mug "How are you doing?" Love ladies like Joe.
A plain white mug with the inscription “F.R.I.E.N.D.S.” will make tea even tastier. Link
Flakes will be sweeter if you eat them from a deep plate in the style of your favorite series. Link
Some stores do not make delivery to Russia, and for such cases today there are many intermediaries through whom you can place an order. First, the goods are delivered to the address that does not conflict with the store delivery policy, and from there it follows to Russia. This method is proven and favored by the most avid online shoppers. So distances don't mean anything if you decide to make your kitchen better. The main advice - be sure to use proven services!
We sincerely hope that you like “Friends” as much as we do, and our collection served as your inspiration. And let your kitchen, as well as Monica's kitchen, fascinate with aromas and unite native and beloved people.
P.S. If you are a fan of the series “F.R.I.E.N.D.S”, then most likely, you have already managed to catch the fancy of the sitcom “Cougar Town” (“City of Predators”) with Courtney Cox in the lead role.
