The Visual Compendium of Sitcom Sofas

Cool Infographics: Charts and graphs can communicate data; infographics turn data into information.

The furniture used on TV shows has become an important piece of set design, and must be unique to each show. HomeAdvisor has put together A Visual Compendium of Sitcom Sofas infographic that nicely lays out some of the most iconic sofas on television.

The sofa, as television producers have long known, is the perfect sitcom prop. It can form the center of a studio stage, symbolize family values, or create a mirror image of the viewer at home. In some sitcoms, the sofa is so important that it is a star in its own right.

The classic sitcom sofa is both welcoming and stylish. It is the anchor for the characters and the audience, just as your own sofa anchors your family through each episode of your daily life. So why not turn to infamous sitcom sofas when looking for inspiration for your next couch?

We’ve created the ultimate sitcom sofa compendium to help you make your choice. The rich variety of the natural world has nothing on the diverse offerings of sitcom sofas. Each couch has evolved with a purpose, however baffling, and reveals underlying truths about its characters’ deep prehistory.

Overall a good design with a fun topic. With hundreds of popular TV shows over the years they left a lot of famous couches out. I appreciate the challenge they faced when choosing which sofas to include.
