Bad taste or no taste?
More money than common sense?
Maybe an interior designer who will put your ideas into action no matter how foolish they are? They donโt have to live with it, and you are paying for your stupidity.
Really, there are a lot of reasons why some of the following abominations have come to life. But I feel I must provide some sort of warning before you proceed. And that is you should proceed with caution. Some of these rooms are sure to inspire nightmares.

1. A beautiful ride
This is certainly up for argument. Whether an old Chevy pickupโor at least part of oneโis really a beautiful choice and whether that same partial pickup is a good choice as a bed frame.

2. Scratchy pedestal?
You know those things that cat owners have so their cats claw it instead of the furniture? Is this a life-size replica?

3. Cold shower
Have you ever had to take a cold shower for whatever reason? Itโs really unpleasant, and thatโs putting it mildly. I wonder if thatโs why this person thought a fireplace in the shower would be a good idea.

4. Has anyone seen my purse?
Oh, maybe itโs one of the many bags hanging from the ceiling. And they are not at all distracting, given everything else that is going on there.

5. Itโsโฆ bright
Yellow is a beautiful color. Most colors areโin moderation. However, this is just insane. All the hues are bad enough, but then add the busts and the statues and this just screams bad taste.

6. Wellโฆ
I will admit that at the end of a long day I love to sit in a hot bath. Maybe with a glass of wine. And I may think something along the lines of, โI could live here.โ But writing home on the walls? Nope.

7. This will fix it
Do you hate having door glass since youโre afraid taller people are going to be able to look in your home? Ha! Fooled them!

8. Oh hell, no!
Iโm sorry, but there is no way Iโm sitting on that toilet seat. Who wants insectsโeven if it is just pictures of themโthat close to their bare lady bits? Certainly no one with an overactive imagination.

9. Multitask
Sit a while and soak your feet. Youโll feel so rejuvenated. Or, if there is a man in the house, be very concerned about his aim. Shudder!

10. Home for sale
It could use a little work, but it has a huge selling feature. It comes with a mother-in-law suite. Plus, a door to her own private deck.

Instagram
11. Where to start?
First, who lives here? Some 7-foot-tall basketball player? Because most people will not be able to see themselves in that mirror. Secondly, who in their right mind puts a mantle in the bathroom?

12. Intriguing combination
The delicate pink butterfly in the background. That lamp thing in the foreground. That giant lamp thing thatโs either carrying helmets or a boombox. Letโs not miss the beadsโand maybe the flag?

Instagram
13. That floor and that stone!
So, you donโt want your fireplace. Iโm sure there are better ways than this to deal with it. Like removing the mantle and covering that stone.

14. NSFW
Those who arrive early get to watch from our custom-made viewing platform. And weโre sorry, but the rocking horse doesnโt have the best viewing angle.

15. Iโm a little loss for words here
I donโt mean to offend anyone, but is this what we mean by gender fluid? Is this a representation? Thatโs about the only explanation I can come up with.

16. Aye, Matey
Captain and the Missus are fine seafaring folk. They love to sleep amid the crashing waves and under the constellations. But donโt worry, they have a sextant handy.

17. Dear God
If you werenโt some sort of lunaticโare we still allowed to say that?โto start off with, living in this nightmare would quickly turn you into one. Before long, you will be twitching and drooling.

18. Hire a professional
When decorating, itโs a good idea to hire a pro. Especially if you donโt have a clue. They could share things with you like the fact there are slide-in ranges for situations like this. Or even better, a stovetop and oven drawer.

19. This is such a bad idea
Nice big island in the middle of the kitchen? Check. Legs and feet that stick out far enough to constantly trip out the legs and feet trying to walk around it? Check.

Instagram
20. Honey, we need a range hood
You know, I thought the mantle up against the bathroom wall was bad. This piano/range hood hanging on the kitchen wall is definitely worse.

Instagram
21. Wait!
I was so caught up in the horror that is that bathroom, I nearly missed something. There are clothes hanging in the windows that look like they are part of the window coverings. Are they part of the windows coverings?


Source:
Instagram
22. So, yeah
Ladies, I have a question for you. If you were interested in a man, and you found out this was his bed, how fast and how far would you run?

23. The talk with the contractor
โI really want an island there.โ โSorry, maโam. Those are weight-bearing joists.โ โBut I really want an island there.โ โYes, maโam. But as I said, those joists are necessary.โ โBut I really want an island there.โ The contractor throws his hands in the air. โFine, whatever.โ

24. Some people readโฆ
And I guess other people pretend to ice fish as they sit on the toilet. And that there are dead fish littering the ground around them. Makes sense to me.


Source:
Instagram
25. No, this is real
I know youโre thinking someone got crazy with Photoshop, but this is the real deal. Basketballs on the counter and some crazy-ass island made from what? A shattered remnant of granite?

Instagram
26. Is Barbie their decorator?
Or maybe one of the Disney Princesses? The walls are bad enough. Then letโs add the sheers and the multicolored cushions and it looks like a box of crayons puked.

Instagram
27. Tell me Iโm not seeing this
Is that entire bathroom covered in carpet? Or velour blankets? Towels? I really canโt tell. And honestly, does it even matter? If a man uses that, heโd better have perfect aim.


Source:
Instagram
28. No loitering
Perhaps thereโs a method to this madness. If you donโt want people lingering in your powder room, this is surely the way to go. Itโs freakish and a little bit scary.


Source:
Instagram
29. Where to start?
The DNA strand columns? The fact that theyโre not centered around the door? The fact that nothing seems to be centered? Check out the house number and the porch light. Oh, and that door does not go with that house.

Instagram
30. Open concept
When did we start taking the open concept floor plan to a whole new level? The Jacuzzi tub in the kitchen is brilliant. Or is it the other way? A kitchen in the bathroom?


Source:
Instagram
31. Itโs a little stark
So, despite the violent orange, this bathroom is just a little too basic. I really think they could take it up a notch with the right choices in towel bars, towels, and some really awesome rugs. And donโt get me started on that bare window.

Instagram
32. I miss the farm
City living is tough when you grew up surrounded by all those open spaces. All those barnyard animals. Clearly, thereโs something you can do. You can have the best of both worlds.

Instagram
33. Someone is a masochist
Can you imagine bathing in that room? And the hideous walls arenโt even the biggest issue. Look at that tub! Itโs all rough and sharp. No one I know wants to have their flesh pierced while bathing. To each his own, I guess.


Source:
Instagram
34. Imagine walking into this every morning
You know how the light hurts your eyes when you turn in on in the morning? If itโs still dark when you get up? This is the equivalent. Most people would need to slam their eyes shut when they walked into this room. All that, plus a checkered tile floor. ๐ต


Source:
Instagram
35. Itโs a Rubikโs cube!
Iโve never really thought about this before, but now I am. What mood should your kitchen inspire? A kitchen is often a place of gathering, so Iโm thinking along the lines of comfort. This inspires angst and tension. And a whole lot of horror.


Source:
Instagram
36. Are they screaming?
Iโm not sure what this room is, but Iโm guessing some sort of wine cellar. If your aim is for people not to linger, this interior design is dead on. I think those people painted on the wall are running away screaming, not singing.

37. Kitchens and bathrooms
You know how real estate agents say kitchens and bathrooms mean the most when it comes to resale? Have you noticed how many of these pictures are kitchens and bathrooms? What are people thinking?


Source:
Instagram
38. What is this?
This looks like a reception area. I feel like there should be a hostess standing there too, ready to take your coat. Whatโs the correct protocol? Do you leave a tip when you are in someoneโs home?


Source:
Instagram
39. No insurance in the world will cover this
Are these people completely stupid? This goes way beyond bad design ideas; this is near-certain death for someone in that pool or below it. There will be a weight calculation for that balcony, and you can be sure this far exceeds it!


Source:
Instagram
40. Iโm so confused
Okay, at first, I thought this was a courtyard. You know, outside the house, leading to the front door. But nope. This seems to be inside the front entrance. And everyone wants the front door blocked by a firepit, right?


Source:
Instagram
41. For the Cirque du Soleil types
Who thought this would be a good idea? Statistics show an alarming amount of injuries that happen in the home happen while getting out of the bath. So why would you make it 100 times more dangerous? You need to be a circus performer to get out of this tub.


Source:
Instagram
42. Is this Arielโs bathroom?
I envision a bathroom with a soaker, Jacuzzi tub to have a measure of tranquility. It should sooth. And while blue is known to be one of the soothing colors, this bathroom just makes me anxious. I mean, are there sharks too?


Source:
Instagram
43. The Scream
You know that famous painting by Edvard Munch called The Scream? For some reason thatโs the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this kitchen. Itโs the purple and blue smears that did it. Ironically, that painting is supposed to indicate anxiety, which is exactly what those cabinets make me feel.


Source:
Instagram
44. Iโm not sure whatโs happening here
Having said that, I think this might be someoneโs idea of a home theater. Letโs forget the fact there are appliances there for a moment. Donโt the curtains, the screen, and the thing that might be a wannabe Oscar in front of it make you think of a movie theater? And that might be a projector or a vacuum cleaner hanging from the ceiling.


Source:
Instagram
45. Someone didnโt think this through
Letโs ignore the ugly ass kitchen, okay? Letโs just address the dishwasher in the wall. Yes, in case you missed it, there is a dishwasher in the wall. If youโve ever loaded a dishwasher, raise your hands. Now, think about where youโre typically standing, given the door takes up about 3 feet of space in front. Are they standing on the counters to load that thing?


Source:
Instagram
46. Where to start
First, Iโm not a fan of yellow. Most certainly not yellow in my kitchen. But I digress. I hope they plan to grow old and die in that house because no one is going to buy it with that stupid kitchen. And while there may be valid reasons from having the dishwasher a little higher, this is just fugly. On so many levels.


Source:
Instagram
47. Who lives here?
Cave dwellers? The Flintstones? Pebbles and Bam Bam all grown up and married? All I can say is those door frames must be incredibly strong not to cave under that pressure.


Source:
Instagram
48. My brain is numb
Iโm a little afraid. There was something like an electric shock that hit me when I saw this kitchen, and now Iโm pretty much speechless. Maybe I had a stroke? Iโm sorry, but I have nothing to say about this abomination, so youโll have to talk amongst yourselves. I need to go look at something pretty for a whileโor bleach my eyes. Iโll be back when my brain starts functioning again.

Instagram
49. Why am I wheezing?
Anyone else suddenly having issues with their breathing? The air quality in this room is atrocious. Now, who in their ever-loving mind would decorate with mold? That looks so creepy and disgusting.


Source:
Instagram
50. Bad hair day
These creepy stairs lead up to the moldy room just upstairs. The one you just saw. A serial killer lives in this house, and he likes to collect hair and make carpets out of it. He also hides the bodies under the trapdoor in the moldy room. Hence, the mold.
