Friends Bedroom Decor
UPDATED November 26, 2021 with links to current item sellers in 2021.
In May 2021, Friends: The Reunion brought together the original cast members for a special event that was executive-produced by the show's creators and streamed on HBO Max. The stars talked about their experiences and looked at their past sets. It's a great time to revisit our favorite show and see what housewares and other items we can put into our own homes to feel that New York City Friends vibe.
One of the most popular television shows of all time, Friends, celebrated its 25th Anniversary on September 22, 2019! Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe became our favorite pals ever since the show premiered in 1994. And it continues to gain new fans through Netflix, TBS, Nickelodeon and other syndication. If you're a fan, then you might have identified closely with one or two of the characters, wanted to have such great friends, and dreamed of living in a spacious New York City apartment! Even if we can't all find a Manhattan apartment at such an unrealistically low rent, we can at least try to decorate our homes with similar furniture and decor that we see in the show. If you want to know where to buy Friends TV show's home decor, don't worry, I'll be there for you! I've made a list of shoppable items to help you recreate the look.
By the way, the Friends set decorator, Greg Grande, was interviewed for the milestone event and it's a great read for some behind-the-scenes stories. I encourage you to read the article along with scrolling through the items below. I think it's fun to learn about why certain furnishings and set design elements were chosen for the apartments. When you love everything about the show, then every furniture, tableware, wall decoration, poster art, home goods, and small knick-knacks that you see can bring you joy.
I'll call this post "The One with all the Home Decorations and Stuff." I will update this blog post as I find more items, so check back. If you have any tips about where to find more items, let me know. And with that, I will (as Ross would say) "Pivot…Piiivooot" to the list below.

List of Individual Friends Items
Where to Buy Friends TV Show Home Decor in 2021
Monica and Rachel's Apartment Decor in Friends TV Show
Yellow Peephole Frame from Monica's Apartment Door
Interesting tidbit: the frame on the show was originally part of a mirror. But when the mirror broke, they decided to keep the frame and put it around the door's peephole! So this item is a must-have for any true fan.
Several varieties, creations, and reproductions can be purchased on eBay!
A replica of the iconic Yellow Peephole Frame decor from Monica's apartment on Friends is available on Amazon.
AUCTION ALERT! Warner Bros has authorized a Studio-Edition REPRODUCTION of the Door Picture Frame from the show! There are just 10 being auctioned by WB through Prop Store , so be sure to bid during this rare auction, which benefits charity. Winners will receive a certificate of authenticity from the studio. See the Door Picture Frames being auctioned .
Aux Buttes Chaumont Jouets by Jules Cheret Poster Art
The large poster in Monica and Rachel's living room is a very colorful Jules Cheret poster. Like some of the items that were used to decorate the show, this one has an interesting story, as well. The Friends set decorator, Greg Grande, said that he originally had a tapestry in that area, but the network asked to change it during their walk-through.
I personally love vintage advertisement posters. What do the words mean? Here's the translation from French to English: "At the Buttes Chaumont Toys and Objects for New Year's gifts." Then it is followed by the address of an old department store in France, Buttes Chaumont.
These are the places where you can buy Friends TV Show home decor like this poster:
The large Aux Buttes Chaumont Jouets poster (36×54 inches) is available on Amazon and Wayfair.
Other sizes and similar versions are available on eBay.
Homemade 1 cent Pickles Utensil Jar, Ceramic Crock
This large container is very prominent in the girl's apartment.
You can buy this, as well as other versions, on Ebay, so buy one before it's gone!
You can also buy this from Amazon.
Cookie Time Jar
Because of its size and distinctive appearance, this Cookie Time decor is another noticeable item from Monica and Rachel's kitchen.
Where can you buy this Friends home decor? It's harder to find this cookie jar nowadays. Wouldn't it be great if you found it at some flea market for cheap?
It's made by Treasure Craft and can be found on eBay.
You can also buy similar "cookie time" jars at a cheaper price, in this eBay page.
Classic Yellow Kettle (their 2nd kettle)
The girls had at least two kettles. The first was a metallic yellow/gold kettle.
Apparently they needed a second by season 4! (We actually start to see the old metallic kettle in Chandler and Joey's apartment, so isn't it so friend-ly of them to donate the old one to the guys?) This vintage Chantal teakettle is the Classic model in a rare yellow color.
Check ebay to browse for current availability.
Libbey Blue Celestial Sun Moon Stars Mug
Monica and Rachel have a set of translucent, blue celestial mugs that have sun moon and stars in the design, and both can be seen drinking from it in multiple episodes.
It's an old Libbey design. I like how it's translucent, makes it look even better, when filled with a liquid.
There are a few still available on Ebay, so buy it now!
Coffeemaker
This coffeemaker is distinctive, I especially like the wooden belt around it!
Lucky for us, Chemex still makes this product! You can choose from different sizes, but I believe the 6 cup standard is the same size that appears on the show.
Find the size you want on Amazon. Also available on eBay.
Maina La Voyante Poster
The Maina La Voyante print is the large French poster in Monica and Rachel's foyer. The name translates to "Maina The Seer." It is a vintage print by Louis Gallice in Paris.
You can buy this from these locations:
- eBay
- Art.com
- Amazon
Copper Rabbit Mold Kitchen Decor
The copper rabbit seen in Monica and Rachel's kitchen is a vintage copper mold that might have been used for baking a cake in this shape. The kitchen bake ware was instead smartly used to hang on the wall as a kitchen decor. About 9″ x 7″ in size.
You can buy this from eBay or find similar items with this ebay search link.
Copper Fruits Mold Kitchen Decor
This copper mold of fruits can be seen as wall decor in Monica and Rachel's kitchen. It is actually a vintage copper mold that might have been used for baking a cake. The mold has grapes, pear, apple, and leaves on the design. Made in Italy and the size is about 14″ x 12.5″. A brass circle allows it to be hung on the wall.
You can buy this from ebay or find similar items with this ebay search link.
Illustrated Spices and Herbs Cabinet
This vintage item has been in the apartment since the first episode. Although it may look like a poster, it's actually a hanging wooden spice-rack cabinet with pretty drawings and informational content about using seasonings on food. You'll have to see it up close to read, for example, the suggested spices for certain beverages. The cabinet, which was manufactured by Three Mountaineers brand, has been listed as being made in the 1970s. The cabinet can be opened and inside are racks where one can put the spices and herbs, although we never saw the characters open it! Wouldn't you love to take a peek inside and read all the seasonings?
NOTE that the roommates' cabinet design is rectangular and has an illustration of alobster, among other food! Three Mountaineers seems to have manufactured very similar items, differing only in parts of the drawings (as well as completely different shapes and styles of spice racks). The kind that matches Monica and Rachel's apartment has theLobster on the lower-right area. That's so fitting, isn't it? After all, as Phoebe said of Rachel and Ross,"She's your lobster."
You can buy this from ebay. Check carefully when searching for the exact style (with lobster illustration) on ebay.
Chandler and Joey's Apartment Decor in Friends TV Show
Laurel & Hardy Poster
Laurel and Hardy were a comedy duo in Hollywood and were known for their slapstick comedy. So this poster is a good representation of the duo that is Chandler-and-Joey. Don't you just love these guys?
Laurel & Hardy Poster is available from Amazon. You can also find the posters on eBay.
Amedeo Design ResinStone Greyhound Statue
This very unique sculpture and home decoration makes quite a statement.
The Amedeo Design ResinStone 1400-24G Greyhound, Standing, 39 by 10 by 56 inches item in Limestone color can be purchased from Amazon.
Les Mysteres de New York Publie par Le Petit Provencal Poster Art
Seen in the living room area of Chandler and Joey's apartment.
You can find the poster on eBay.
There are other sources if you want to buy this mysterious poster. These are from Amazon:
Large Poster Size
Small 12"x18" Size
Foosball Table
Joey broke the guys' dining table. Because they are guys and couldn't make a design purchase decision, they instead bought a foosball table. The guys first had a foosball table with blue- and red-colored men and later the table had yellow-colored men.
There are many foosball tables online, but here are a couple:
Tornado Foosball Table at Amazon.
American Legend Charger Foosball Table at Amazon.
My Goodness My Guinness Poster Art Advertisement
This is a fun poster as seen in the living room of Chandler and Joey's apartment. A lion is chasing the zookeeper for beer.
You can get different sizes, and even framed ones, from online retailers:
36×24 inches
Framed 36×24 inches
You can also find this on Ebay, as well as different versions with other animals in the poster.
Kangaroo Poster Art
Another poster about human and animal in opposition appears in the living room. The text is in Russian. So there are actually a few Russian posters in the show, including one in Monica's bedroom.
You can find various sizes of this poster on eBay.
Amazon is another one of the many places where you can buy this Friends TV Show home decor: 20×30 poster at Amazon.
s
The Three Stooges Statue: Larry, Curly and Moe
Chandler and Joey are a comedic pair, so it's appropriate that they have the Laurel & Hardy Poster, as well as statues of the 3 Stooges!
It's a vintage 1980 ESCO Three Stooges Statues of Larry, Curly, and Moe.
There are only a few complete sets left on ebay!
You could also get the individual ones if you have a favorite and get the others next time.
Joey's Penguin Toy, Huggsy
Image from Amazon
This is in the Official Auction for Friends memorabilia!
You can buy this from eBay.
It's also available on Amazon!
Joey's Apartment Decor in Friends TV Show
Joey's Elvis Presley Bust Table Lamp
By season 2 episode 17, Joey is living in his own apartment apart from his buddy Chandler. Meanshile, Chandler is dealing with his new psycho roommate, Eddie.
This Elvis Presley head/bust lamp is a kitschy decoration. Joey's got a lot of money to spend and he can get whatever he wants!
There are several listed on ebay. Some don't have the exact lampshade used on the show, but you could replace the lampshade if you find an individual one that is closer to the one shown on the episode.
Browse on ebay.
Ross' Apartment Decor in Friends TV Show
The Speed Racer Show Poster
We see Ross' first apartment in the Pilot, where Ross is putting together furniture with the help of Joey and Chandler. It was sparse since his ex-wife had just moved out to be with another woman. One of the few items left over is this poster. And how interesting that it'd be a cartoon and not a dinosaur!
You can buy this poster in different sizes on eBay.
The Speed Racer Show poster is also available on Amazon on these sizes:
Large size 24 x 36
Small size 11 x 17
Apothecary Coffee Table
The table from Pottery Barn was a big topic during the appropriately-titled episode "The One with the Apothecary Table" in Season 6, episode 11. Rachel bought the table from Pottery Barn, but she knows that Phoebe dislikes mass-produced items. So Rachel pretends that she bought the table from a flea market.
Ross also bought the table for his apartment, and tried to hide it under a Pottery Barn tablecloth. But Phoebe discovers the truth when she sees the "one-of-a-kind" table at Ross' place, too.
Lucky for us, Pottery Barn made the apothecary table again in honor of #FRIENDS25 anniversary!
Phoebe's Apartment Decor in Friends TV Show
Apothecary Coffee Table (at Phoebe's Apartment)
The table from Pottery Barn was a big topic during the appropriately-titled episode "The One with the Apothecary Table" in Season 6, episode 11. Rachel bought the table from Pottery Barn, but she knows that Phoebe dislikes mass-produced items. So Rachel pretends that she bought the table from a flea market. Of course, the truth comes out eventually when Ross also buys the same table.
You can buy this Friends TV Show home decor from Pottery Barn today! Pottery Barn made the apothecary table again in honor of #FRIENDS25 anniversary!
