From Script to Space: Iconic TV Shows Reimagined for Home Design with Houzz Pro
Television has given us some of the most memorable backdrops in pop culture, from cozy coffee houses to dramatic throne rooms. This season, Houzz Pro partnered with five leading design and construction firms to reimagine iconic TV settings as real-world living spaces, using the Houzz Pro 3D Floor Plan tool. The pros took inspiration from Gilmore Girls, Yellowstone, Mad Men, Friends and Game of Thrones to prepare fresh, functional and unforgettable spaces.
“Houzz Pro’s 3D Floor Plans empower pros to turn imagination into reality for their clients,” said Liza Hausman, Houzz vice president of Industry Marketing. “Pros use 3D floor plans with current and prospective clients because seeing a design come to life builds confidence, creates excitement, and ultimately, accelerates approvals. With AI-powered features, pros can quickly transform 2D floor plans into 3D models and renderings. These rooms are a fun way of showing off the power of our 3D tools.”
An essential part of Houzz Pro’s suite of project management and design tools, the 3D Floor Planner makes it easy for pros to create and embed 3D floor plans within their Mood Boards and Selections Boards for a powerfully visual presentation. The Selections tool organizes all of the product and material options in one place online and is the single source of truth for product and material choices. Once clients approve the design, pros can turn any 3D floor plan created in Houzz Pro into an estimate or proposal, saving hours of work and delivering project materials to the client more quickly. With Takeoffs, pros can quickly calculate the exact quantities of materials needed directly from their 3D floor plans, helping them order accurately, reduce waste and estimate more precisely.
“We rely on Houzz Pro every day to streamline our processes, which has homeowners and builders turning to us time and time again for new builds, remodels and commercial projects,” said Azelia Dickson, principal designer for Interiors by Design.
See how the pros used Houzz Pro 3D Floor Plans to transform beloved television sets from Central Perk to Westeros into home design:

Family Room inspired by Gilmore Girls | Designed by Interior Impressions
Interior Impressions imagined a family room for Rory Gilmore, blending nostalgic warmth with sophisticated charm. “This living room design is our interpretation of a now more worldly Rory Gilmore,” said Amy Leferink, founder and principal designer of Interior Impressions. The layout recalls the original set, with a fireplace, built-in cabinets, French doors, generous windows, and graceful arched openings that echo Lorelai and Rory’s beloved home. To capture the lived-in feeling that defined Stars Hollow, the designers layered the space with ambient lighting — from table and floor lamps to wall sconces — along with a bold, vintage-inspired floral wallpaper and a statement ceiling fixture that casts a soft, inviting glow. Layered rugs, mix-and-match pillows, and thoughtfully chosen accessories cultivate the eclectic atmosphere fans remember, while stacks of books, a record player, and a writing desk highlight Rory’s love of literature, music, and her journalism career.
While Houzz Pro’s 3D Floor Planner helped bring this design to life, the tool is also integral to Interior Impressions’ broader process. “We’ve found that the 3D Floor Planner is a quick and easy tool to use in the early stages of working with clients,” Leferink explained. “It allows us to lay out a room with furnishings and refine space plan details, which helps us as designers understand spatial requirements. It also helps our clients better visualize the room in both 2D and 3D.” This combination of practical planning and visualization is what allowed the Gilmore Girls–inspired space to feel both familiar and fresh.

Kitchen inspired by Yellowstone | Designed by May Construction
For May Construction, designing a Yellowstone-inspired kitchen meant creating a space that felt both rugged and refined. Stone finishes, exposed beams and modern luxury countertops blend the ranch’s rugged surroundings with upscale functionality, while details like hanging hats and even a refrigerator filled with fresh milk and marinating meat reflect the Dutton Ranch’s role as a working cattle operation. “I really wanted to include a butler’s pantry. Gator seemed like an impressive chef on the show with many key moments taking place around his cooking,” said Donna Gutto, designer at May Construction. “And the saloon doors took me back to the 1923 prequel series.” Expansive windows and artful exterior views connect the kitchen to the sweeping Montana landscape, grounding the design in its cinematic inspiration.
Houzz Pro’s 3D Floor Planner serves as a vital tool in communicating with clients. “As a design-build firm, we take the clients from the very initial design meetings into construction. Houzz Pro’s 3D Floor Plans help clients visualize and collaborate with our design team in real time to get a full, accurate and realistic understanding of the layout and materials before construction starts,” Gutto explained. “This visualization allows for open communication, design adjustments and a higher degree of confidence in the final outcome.”

Bedroom inspired by Mad Men | Designed by Honeybee Interiors
Honeybee Interiors reimagined midcentury style through a modern lens, designing a primary bedroom that channels the polished sophistication of Mad Men. “We wanted the space to feel timeless and tailored, a modern interpretation of midcentury luxury,” said Sacha Berger, principal designer of Honeybee Interiors. The room is grounded by a wall of fluted wood paneling that adds depth, rhythm, and architectural character, complemented by rich walnut furniture and smooth neutral textiles. Soft natural light streams through floor-to-ceiling windows framed by velvet drapery that can be drawn closed to offer the utmost privacy, a nod to the show’s controlled appearances and concealed truths. A sculptural lamp and low-profile dresser recall the clean geometry and craftsmanship of the era, while metallic accents lend a touch of polish. A whisky decanter positioned on the coffee table captures the unmistakable spirit of Don Draper’s world, adding an indulgent yet refined detail to the design.
Houzz Pro’s 3D Floor Planner played an important role in visualizing the balance of tone, texture, and proportion. “We use Houzz Pro throughout our design process from early spatial planning to final visualization to help clients see the full potential of their rooms,” Berger explained. Here, the result is a space that feels both nostalgic and elevated, a sophisticated homage to midcentury modern design for today’s homeowner.

Living room inspired by Friends | Designed by Allito Spaces
Allito Spaces channeled the cozy, eclectic ambiance of Friends by blending Central Perk’s coffee house charm with the comfort of home. “With this design, I wanted to capture the sense of togetherness that defined the series,” said Allison Garrison, principal designer of Allito Spaces. Brick accents anchor the space, echoing the iconic café walls, while a wall of windows mirrors Central Perk’s unimpeded view to the streets of New York City. A layered Oriental rug, fringe-trimmed upholstery, and collected artwork and accessories create a relaxed, lived-in feel.
To tie it all together, Allito Spaces included a built-in coffee bar — a playful nod to the show’s frequent setting — alongside a piano that allows the living room to double as a gathering space for live music fit for Phoebe’s performances. With Houzz Pro’s 3D Floor Planner, the team explored seating arrangements and bar placement to ensure the layout flows as seamlessly as the conversations that once unfolded on that famous orange couch. Garrison adds, “We love using Houzz Pro’s 3D Floor Plan tool because it lets our clients do more than just see a space; they can actually experience how it will feel to live in it, because they get a more dynamic view of the built environment.”

Parlor inspired by Game of Thrones | Designed by Interiors by Design
Interiors by Design transformed the legendary throne room from Game of Thrones into a grand parlor and office — a space that commands authority while celebrating old-world craftsmanship. “Winter is coming. And this year, it’s bringing with it more than cold weather; it’s bringing inspiration,” said Azelia Dickson, principal designer of Interiors by Design. Drawing from what she calls “Medieval Fantasy Grandeur,” the room pairs deep, color-drenched walls with towering arched windows that flood the space with light, balancing drama and livability. At its core stands a monumental marble fireplace framed by polished stone columns that anchor the room with power and permanence. An ornate desk serves as the focal point for the “throne,” while a carved wood table set for chess hints at counsel and strategy, inviting conversation as much as contemplation. Decorative elements from wrought iron chandeliers and candelabras to gilded accents and heavy drapery amplify the sense of royal gravitas.
“The ability to show our clients exactly how their vision will look bridges the gap between ideas and execution, giving them confidence in their choices,” said Dickson. “And now, with Houzz Pro’s AI-powered product rendering, we can instantly turn any item into a 3D model, whether it’s at market, in a magazine or in a vendor’s showroom. That level of innovation is unmatched.”
