Get the Look: Kitchens of American Sitcoms

Is there anything more comforting than sitting down at the end of a long day with a hot drink and your favourite sitcom? Regardless of what your go-to comfort show is, I think we can all agree that we've drooled over the set designs and wished that we could make our homes look a little more like the homes of Monica and Rachel, or Jessica Day. 

If you're hoping to update your kitchen with a little inspiration from your favourite TV show, read on! We have plenty of handles, knobs and brackets to transform your kitchen.

If you're a fan of The Big Bang Theory, it's likely you root for the underdog. Sheldon and Leonard have a cosy kitchen that doesn't take up too much space. Look that that island that doubles as a hob to cook on! If you want to mimic this funky kitchen, consider accenting the space with funky designs and bright colours, but stick to natural colours for your furniture. We have a brushed steel strap handle which is perfectly neutral for recreating Sheldon and Leonard's kitchen.

If you've ever watched Friends (and who hasn't?) then you've probably marvelled over how Rachel and Monica can afford their New York apartment. Their kitchen is iconic and recogniseable even to people who aren't fans of the show. To recreate this look, consider wallpapering an accent wall with a brick pattern and painting your shelves and cupboards a teal colour. Display all your brightest pots, pans and teacups on your shelves and you're good to go! We think that Rachel and Monica's cupboard handles look a little flimsy, so you could consider upgrading to this brushed nickel 'D' handle that we sell!

The Dunphy family of Modern Family have a large, hectic kitchen that is usually brimming with life. We love all the kitchen islands that are featured in American Sitcoms, but the Dunphy's is the best we've seen yet. We do wonder how they find space to eat there, though, with all the clutter on top of it. To get the look, you should paint your woodwork an off-white and invest in some of our black nickel knobs!

Jess Day, of New Girl, has the most enviable kitchen of them all. We absolutely love the dark painted walls, wooden cupboards and the contrast of the tall metal table, fridge and oven. Three other people live with Jess, so it's no wonder that the kitchen is on the larger side with a huge fridge to store everyone's food. One of our favourite things is the huge shelves that are running along the wall. If you're considering putting up New Girl inspired shelving in your kitchen, consider looking at our range of shelf brackets. We think that our gallows shelf bracket would be perfect for decorating a New Girl inspired kitchen. 

Finally, you must be living under a rock if you haven't watched The Simpsons, and you wouldn't be the first to want to recreate their kitchen. Who wouldn't want to eat meals in such a cheerful space? If you genuinely want to have a kitchen just like the Simpson family, it's time to stock up on purple and orange paint, invest in some corn patterned material and a green retro oven. It's definitely be a talking point! Consider our patterned ceramic knobs to accent this fun kitchen.
