19 Jun This Is What Monica’s Apartment From Friends Would Look Like In 2018

If you’re a young professional living in one of the world’s biggest cities, be it London, Sydney, New York or anywhere else, then it’s commonly accepted that you’ll find yourself bunking down night after night in a cramped apartment, probably in a dodgy neighbourhood, while paying sky high rent for the privilege.

Having grown up on an aspiration-diet of Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe, Joey Tribiani’s social life, and Monica Gellar’s amazing apartment, it’s all a long way from how we’d been led to believe our mid-twenties would look. And with Friends now on Netflix for us to watch while we’re eating our budget-brand spaghetti hoops on toast for the third time in a week, the differences are clearer than ever.

Ignoring the fact that a two-bed apartment in the West Village, New York, would today set you back about $5000 a month – which isn’t exactly do-able for most chefs – Monica’s apartment has got to be the single-in-the-city dream home, what with its high ceilings, amazing location, spacious living space and abundance of natural light.

But as much as we love Monica’s flat, it’s got to be said that twenty years later it’s starting to look more dated than Rachel’s inexplicable not-smart-not-casual-certainly-not-cool skirt-suit, a la Season 1. In other words, it made sense at the time, but now it could do with a freshen up.

Fortunately, a team of interior designers from Modsy, who use computer imaging to build 3D models of beautiful interiors, have put their talents to good use and redesigned our favourite apartment for 2018. After creating a multi-dimensional version of the space, they updated it to feature all the mod cons and gave it a lick of paint – and now we’ve got worse apartment envy than ever.

As any keen friends fan will remember, Monica and Chandler actually moved out to the suburbs with their twins in the final ever episode, and the apartment was vacated as everyone handed their keys back in that end-of-an-era scene. But what if, in another parallel universe, they hadn’t?
