Ever wondered about the layout of your favourite TV houses? How do the rooms actually connect and just how big are those places? Clarendon Serviced Apartments, a real estate company from London, England, wondered about the same thing, and decided to use its housing skills to answer the question.
The company has put together a number of detailed floor plans of the houses, and even included some of the furnishings and accessories that really stood out, such as the foosball table from Chandler and Joey's apartment in Friends. Here's a look at what Clarendon was able to put together:
1. Friends
Since we mentioned Chandler and Joey, let's take a look at their home first. As you can see in the image below, it's a two-bedroom apartment with a compact layout. The living areas of the apartment are actually pretty spacious, though the bathroom and kitchen zones are pretty tiny.

That's probably why the whole gang usually gathered in Monica and Rachel's apartment across the hall instead. As you can see from the blueprint, it's significantly more roomy, with a proper kitchen, complete with a large balcony.
2. Big Bang Theory
Everyone's "favourite" TV show about nerds that no one will admit to watching, the Big Bang Theory is, in many ways, modelled after friends, and so it's perhaps not surprising that the living arrangements also look like Friends. For whatever reason, the rooms avoid right angles - instead, everything is laid out askew.

Penny's apartment is the smaller one here, but even so, it looks way too big for a struggling actress to afford - either that or Leonard and Sheldon are staying in...
