One of the mysteries of TV is how everyone has such large, well-equipped kitchens. Even characters of modest means seem to have kitchens that are bigger than many people's homes, but then they do need to fit a film crew in there. Well, now someone's paid tribute to those stunning TV kitchen designs by creating detailed renders of their floorplans. And they've turned the project into a fun quiz that's pretty hard to ace.
We don't want to give too much away, so we'll just let you take the quiz yourself below. You'll find renders of the kitchens from six famous TV shows. See if you can recognise them. If you're inspired to rewatch some of your favourite shows afterwards to look out for these iconic kitchens, then take a look at our guide to the best TVs.
The renders were created as a labour of love by home and kitchen appliance store Simple Ghar, which has meticulously studied (i.e., binge watched) some of the biggest shows to have graced our screens to create detailed renders of their kitchen floorplans. So how well do you know your favourite show's interiors? See if you can guess, and then click the right arrow to see the answer in each case.
