The Most
Recognisable
TV Living Rooms

Taking 10 of the most popular rooms from the quiz above, we surveyed 2,000 Brits to discover which popular TV shows had the most recognisable living rooms. We showed each respondent an image of the living room from famous TV shows that didn’t include any of the show’s characters, along with a multiple choice list of answers to choose from, to help us reveal which TV shows have the most iconic living rooms.

The overwhelming winner of the most recognisable TV living room, regardless of age, gender, or location, is the bright yet simplistic design of The Simpsons’ living room, correctly identified by 80% of respondents.

Achieving top marks on the rest of the living rooms, however, proved to be a lot more challenging. The second most recognisable living room was from Monica’s apartment in Friends, but with fewer than half of the Brits (47%) quizzed able to identify who it belonged to without the characters present.

You might expect similar success identifying Chandler’s apartment from the same show, but this wasn’t the case. In fact, Chandler’s apartment was the second hardest to spot, with only 31% of respondents not thrown off by the lack of Chandler or Joey in the shot.

There was also a similar trend with the two famous living rooms found on Coronation Street. 40% of Brits can correctly recognise the living room in the Platt’s house, but only 34% got top marks for the Barlow’s living room.

Although Stranger Things has succeeded in becoming a pop culture phenomenon, Joyce Byers’ living room proved to be the hardest to recall. Despite being the third most recognisable living room with 16-24 year olds, correctly identified by 49% of our youngest respondents, that number dropped all the way down to 11% for Brits aged 55+.
