Here's what the apartments from 'Friends' might look like today

Don't worry, there's still some purple in Monica's place.

The apartments from Friends — especially Monica's purple habitat — are among the most iconic in television history. This is partially because everyone loves to talk about how expensive they'd be in real life. (The answer? So expensive that I no longer want to think about it!)

But people also love the Friends apartments because, frankly, nostalgia is a powerful beast. No doubt aware of this, the interior design startup Modsy has reimagined Monica's, Rachel's, and Joey's apartments in their hypothetical 2018 forms.

Here's Joey's apartment, to which Modsy has assigned an "Atomic Industrial" style. Hey, if you can pull off the Hugsy-on-an-Eames-chair look, more power to you.

This is Rachel's apartment. According to Modsy, "Rachel would gravitate toward trends like knockout millennial pink, plush velvet, and marble." In our opinion, the apartment needs more teal cabinets and SmartWater.

Finally, here's Monica and Chandler's apartment. Don't worry, there's still a purple accent wall, and you definitely still can't afford it. And there's Rachel's pickle jar! That's attention to detail.

Now that you're feeling all warm and nostalgic, here's a piece of disturbing information: the series finale of Friends was 14 years ago. Feel old? Same. We are all hurtling toward infinity.

Still love that Jouets print, though.
