Some design ideas simply need to stay in one’s head. You might have visited a relative’s or a friend’s home and come across some pretty awful design ideas. But unless they look anything like the places on this list, consider yourself lucky.
While there’s no accounting for taste, these designs are quite awful. But you be the judge. Maybe it’ll spark some creative ideas of your own.
Or simply peak your interests in HGTV a little more.
Well, this isn’t the brightest idea… it sure won’t end well! The sink and cabinet are pretty nice though.
This honestly looks like the house of a creepy person with some sort of weird hair fetish… Do not go in here. I repeat: do not enter!
3) Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire
This is one way to make a statement… Though it isn’t exactly clear what that statement is. This person sure is living life on the edge.
This looks pretty neat. It looks intricate and adds a bit of flare to the otherwise mundande house. But you can’t please everybody!
They probably don’t forget to grab a bag on their way out the door. Not sure what’s going on here. Perhaps, they run a shop out of their home? There’s just so much going on!
6) One Big Human-Cat Playpen
Is this for humans or for cats? My guess is both. Who wouldn’t want a place where you can roll around on the floor all day?
7) “Get. Me. Out of Here!”
This looks like a scene in a horror film. I’m just waiting for the walls to start closing in. Who knows what’s behind all those flowers?!
8) Wanting to be Different
Wood and rug on the shower and the tub? What could possibly be wrong with that? Everything, Susan. Everything is wrong with this.
What is the point of those tiny curtains on the wall? They literally add nothing to the little decor that the room already lacks. But hey, the room is spacious…
If I’m invited over for dinner, I would pass everytime. There’s no way that somebody thought that this was a good idea. Perhaps, it’s a joke? One thing’s for sure, it’s unsanitary.
Try to watch television with the washer and dryer spinning below the screen. I can feel the headache coming on now. At least there’s a decent speaker system to drown out the noise.
12) How Did This Get Here?
One of these things doesn’t belong. Can you guess what it is? Here’s a hint, it’s obvious!
There’s an excuse for everything. This is pretty… out there. Just imagine, this is in somebody’s home! What would you do if you saw this at, say, a coworker’s place?
This isn’t unsettling at all. Joking. Everybody is thinking the opposite! What is it with dolls?
This looks like the legs of AT-AT walkers from Star Wars. Cool points for that! Still, it just looks odd.
I think the placement is off here. Shouldn’t it be centered? This is a complete and utter eyesore.
Yikes! Hopefully, the door is bolted shut and boarded up on the other side! Otherwise, you’re essentially walking the plank!
You can never have too many rugs. But then again, this person does. It’s like a giant puzzle.
Was there really no other way? I mean, there’s an entire wall on the other side of the kitchen. If you’re looking to entertain your guests, you’re covered. You’re sure to get some laughs out of this.
What a groovy place to do your biz. It would be horrible to stumble in here after a rough night out though. Prepare for the spins and a deep dive into the abyss.
Who designed this hotel bathroom? I demand to know the designer! This is a visual representation of what having the cards stacked against you looks like. Clearly, it doesn’t look good.
Sometimes you just want to escape to an island. Why not bring that island to your living room? Because it looks terrible.
Talk about a lack of privacy. You won’t be getting any here! Is there a sink in there at least?
No, really. Just walk on by. This simply doesn’t deserve one’s full attention.
Well, at least you know what you’re walking into… all pun intended. There’s a reason why this room is downstairs and away from everyday guests. It’s just… weird.
Vigorous handwashing is an acquired skill. Thus, the backsplash (as pictured) is a neccessity. The real OCDs know what’s up.
Wisconsin does bathrooms a little differently. They like to keep their fish close at all times. They’ll never escape down the drain and into Lake Michigan! Muahaha
When people say that their relationship is on the rocks… Is this what they mean? No wonder why people become uncomfortable when talking about it. Just look at how uncomfortable it is!
Wow. These people really, really love yellow. I get it. It signifies a new day. Or just urine. I mean, it is a bathroom.
30) “I need some paint, stat!”
How can anybody find anything in here? There’s just so much… stuff going on in such a confined space. Like, what are tassels doing in the kitchen?
We could all use one. But in the kitchen as a fake window? Whatever gets you through the day…
What’s happening here? Is he in love with a mermaid? Is this his child? Is this child Aquaman? Is he the father of Aquaman?! We need answers!!!
33) Deleted Scene from Alice in Wonderland
Welcome to the most confusing bathroom ever. We have shirts hidden in curtains and mirrorless mirrors. We guarantee that you’ll be lost in no time.
They say that people do things to overcompensate for what it is they are lacking… Need I say more?
And that bed looks awful.
There’s some serious DIY going on here. Maybe consider getting a smaller rug and laying it horizontally? Because this… ain’t it.
Well this is interesting… It looks like they just couldn’t get rid of their old box spring. So they hung it up on the ceiling above their new one…
I would think that this would be a bachelor’s place but judging by all of the magnets on the fridge, I’m probably wrong. But what family really thinks that this is a good idea? I’m sure it’s the father’s chair though.
When you love your family and friends, you let them know. This is one (awful) way of doing it. At least they’ll always know who did it…
Eek! That’s one way to scare off burglars. All you need now is a hissing sound playing through the night. Chills.
40) Coming to a Furniture Store Near You
Enough with the sex references already! But there are just so many.
Okay, one more. What in the… vul– heck.
When you really don’t want to be bothered… It’s the newest and laziest way to say, “I’m not home.” But man does it look terrible on the door.
I’m not sure where this room ends and where it begins. Does anyone? Why is the fireplace so… off? This architect must be trolling.
43) What Nightmares Are Made of
Just what we all wanted – to feel as if we’re going to be crushed to death by a one-ton mammal in our sleep. Who in the world thought this was a great idea?
Because who doesn’t want to see the same eyesore twice? This is just fascinatingly awful. From this angle it looks like jail.
Are those actual butterflies? It all just looks too real. Pass, pass, pass!
46) There HAS to Be a Reason
Somebody didn’t think this through. I refuse to believe that this was planned. Maybe they accidentally came across an issue and instead of fixing it, did this.
That’s just as bad though.
This is a trip to the emergency room waiting to happen. The kitchen should be the easiest place to manuever without interference. This is a pretty big interference!
You get in the tub to relax. Not to worry about falling to your death down a steep staircase once you step out of it. This is what you call a lose-lose situation.
An older person with cats designed this. This was clearly done by someone who wanted to keep all human communication to a minimum.
Congratulations, you were successful.
This is… pretty mortifying. The house already looks like it was taken out of a horror flick. That death trap up there doesn’t make it any more appealing. I think I’ll stay down here, thanks.
Oh, home on the range! You can take a person out the country but… you know the rest. This person never left the farm behind.
Not only are the decorations unsightly, why on earth is there a tub right beside the bed? Who wants water all over their bedroom floor? This isn’t the way to set a romantic mood! Or even a calming one.
53) One for Me and My Invisible Friend
Maybe one of these is broken… yeah, that’s it. Because otherwise, freaky.
54) Cue the Bee Gees Tunes!
This looks like a throwback of a honeymoon suite from the 70s. In other words, this ain’t it! While the music can stay, this decor can definitely go.
55) Has Anyone Seen the Twins?
What’s with the creepy decor on this list? This definitely has the vibes from
The Shining. In other words, I’m not going near it!
Would it be okay to assume that the person who did this doesn’t know much about decorating? Does the door potentially lead to another dimension? My guess is that it’s just for (horrible) show.
57) Home Is Where the Door Is
Maybe this door was from the house that this person grew up in? Still, maaybe put it elsewhere? Again, to each their own.
58) Stairway to Trippy Heaven
Try not to trip going up this staircase. Though, the harder you concentrate, the more likely you are to trip.
59) My, What Counter Space You Have!
When every inch matters, just shove the coffee maker in the wall. Because that doesn’t look odd at all.
The shape in the tub… they really meant business here. But this is a really really bad way of conducting it. From the random brick fireplace to the color choices – just throw out the entire bathroom.
Look at that counter standing strong all by itself.
This isn’t an island. It’s the abandoned boat that floats to the island.
This looks more like a bathroom than a kitchen. The colors and textures are everywhere. Sometimes having it all isn’t worth it.
Because two chandaliers are better than one. Besides, you can never get enough light… even if there is a gigantic, open doorway in your room.
Some people are just very proud of their roots. We hear this loud and clear. Trust us, we’ll never forget it…
65) Ending on a High Note
Someone took their love of the piano to new heights, literally. This is one way to show your admiration for something. Put it on the wall. Most people just hang photos but what do they know?
