From Archie Bunkerβs Barcalounger to the framed peephole on Friends, sitcom decor sets the tone of our favorite showsβ and defines the lives of its characters. Now Sitcom Style brings you a behind-the-scenes peek inside more than two dozen of the most recognizable homes in American pop culture: the sets of our favorite TV shows from the past half-century. The sets of situation comedies arenβt just a collection of random props that surround the actors; theyβre statements of style. Theyβre designed to convey a particular mood, to both reflect and enhance the personalities of the people who live in themβjust like anyoneβs home. So Sitcom Style is more than a glimpse into a make-believe world; itβs also a fascinating exploration of how to bring personal style into your own living room. Set designers share their secrets and strategies for creating some of the most thought-out homes in America, and you can learn how to recreate these styles in your own home, complete with shopping resources! Whatβs more, Sitcom Style is also a nostalgic stroll through the most beloved locations in the American consciousness. From the early days of I Love Lucy, The Addams Family, and I Dream of Jeannie through seventiesβ favorites like Threeβs Company and Happy Days to the eightiesβ The Cosby Show and Roseanne and recent megahits like Friends, Sex and the City, and Will & Grace, Sitcom Style is an at-a-glance look at how America has lived for the past fifty years. And for true TV buffs, each chapter includes information on the set designers, years of production, favorite quotes, and trivia. A completely unique combination of pop culture and interior design, Sitcom Style is a must whether you love the TV world or want to spice up your own decor at home.
