For those who like design, decorating a house can be a very pleasant journey. When it comes to choosing colors, furniture, and where certain things are located, there is simply a plethora of possibilities when it comes to designing one's dream home. But while some people are great at it, let's just say others should probably just stick to doing something else entirely, and we're being gentle. For some seriously catastrophic design choices, read on!
A Home That Literally Spells Poop
Well, here's an interesting way of making your home stand out! There is no way that anyone who passes by this wonderful house will miss the very explicit words shared in how the windows were placed. Is it a coincidence? We don't know. There is a possibility that the construction workers were in for a treat that day, and they just had to leave their mark on the outside of the house in the most memorable way.
But since the house's owners left it there, there is a possibility that they loved how having "poop" written on their house differentiated them from everyone around. Just imagine someone saying: "oh yeah, I live in the poop house!"
When The Downstairs Neighbor Installs A Chandelier
Chandeliers can be a great addition to a house. If one chooses the right one for the home, a beautiful chandelier can bring grace and light to a space that not many other objects can bring. It seems like this person's neighbor was up for sprucing things up when they decided to buy a huge chandelier for their home. Unfortunately, though, they weren't so careful when they began installing it on the ceiling.
Either the upstairs neighbor had a very thin floor, or that neighbor put way too much strength when installing the new chandelier because clearly, the whole thing was a fail. Hopefully, no one was hurt!
A Very Hairy Situation
We're not really sure where to start with this one. First of all, what on earth was this person thinking when they fitted their staircase with this monstrosity that looks like human hair? And secondly, how can they pass by this staircase in peace at night, when one could easily feel like it belongs in a scary movie? Seriously, just imagine a movie scripted around the staircase, it could be a hit!
On the positive side, it must be very soft and fluffy to step on, so at least there's that. But then we think about how hard it must be to clean we go right back to thinking that this home design situation was a total fail.
There Is So Much Happening In This Building
The truth is that we're not really sure what's happening here. The more one looks at it the more one feels like this is the most confusing building out there. And the worst thing is that we don't really know if this was deliberately part of the architectural plan for this place, or if the people who built it just got really confused along the way and ended up putting everything on top of each other.
There are windows facing each other, doors facing one another, small balconies blended within the windows, and just way too much happening for one small building.
Making The Best Of The Space
Not everyone is lucky to have a spacious house, so some people have to play around with what they get, even if it means creating the most unusual designs out there. This person decided that they needed an extra toilet in this space, so they made the best out of the situation. They literally created the tiniest corridor with the most narrow door to fit the toilet we see in this picture.
While they definitely utilized the space as much as they could, we're not so sure that any person could easily use that toilet. One probably needs to enter the corridor sideways, but how one sits on the toilet remains a mystery to us.
The Purplest Home
We have to admit that it takes a very bold person to go for this purple look on their kitchen, so props to them for following through with their plan. Unfortuenly though, things didn't really go according to plan, since they spent a ton of money in the purple kitchen thinking that it would be the highlight of the home. In the end, it seems like people weren't as impressed.
After having spent $15,000 on the kitchen's remodeling, the house had been on the market for a whopping 415 days and no one was willing to make an offer. We are guessing that the purple situation was a bit much.
Seems Like A Pretty Safe Balcony
You know what, when some people want something they go for it with everything they've got! And while it may not always be the best idea to do so, they do it anyway and the result can be either fabulous or a total disaster like this picture. This person was set on having a jacuzzi on the second floor, but they failed to check that it was safe to place it on their wooden deck.
Clearly, putting the jacuzzi up there wasn't necessarily the best idea in the world, because the entire thing was way too heavy for the structure they had up there.
The Most Shocking Idea Out There
There is no way that this home design situation was premeditated - someone had to be distracted when they built it. Because the truth is that it doesn't take that much to know that water and electricity simply do not go well together unless someone wants to get the shock of a lifetime. And the interesting thing is that the sink's design actually looks pretty cool. The black faucet combined with the black countertop go well together.
It is a minimalistic design that would work in almost any home, but the socket placed in the middle is just a recipe for disaster.
A Paddled Cream Kitchen
Doesn't the purple kitchen we saw earlier look much better after this one? It seems like some people really love going all out when it comes to designing a kitchen that stands out. To do so, everything is seemingly valid, including this padded cream kitchen that basically looks like a patent leather couch gone mad.
Not only is this kitchen padded, but it is also shiny. If you look closely at the oven, it almost looks shocked by the whole situation.
That's A Very Narrow House
In this article, we're definitely learning that some houses out there are incredibly narrow, more than we thought was possible. Take this house for example. It's pretty impressive how whoever designed it managed to find a way to place anything in there, including that narrow staircase. Though as we look closer at the staircase, we're not so sure how one actually steps on it to go up and down.
It seems like it was designed only to look like a staircase, and not necessarily function as one. We don't get to see the rest of the house in this picture, but we're certainly curious to know how they placed the rest of the rooms and furniture.
A Toilet That Must Be Clean At All Times
When we look at this photo, the first thing that comes to mind is simply "why?" Why on earth would someone decide to have a see-through toilet where literally everything that happens can be seen by anyone? And not only that, but the fact that the toilet is so clear forces whoever uses it to clean it thoroughly after every single use. Whoever owns this must be a clean freak.
If not, then the whole purpose of having a see-through toilet will probably get completely lost. How do you even sit on this thing without constantly fearing it would break?
Why Not Carpet The Whole Room?
Some people spend a huge chunk of their lives dreaming about having their own home. They envision every detail and wait for the day when they will finally be able to do whatever they want. This might be the case for this homeowner. They probably dreamed about the day they would finally be able to turn their carpeted vision into reality, and when they did, they really went for it.
We're not really sure it worked out so well, but hey, we can't say that this room isn't unique. They literally carpeted the whole floor and the outside part of the bathtub like there's no tomorrow.
Improvising All The Way
You know the saying "hanging by a thread?" Well, it seems like this entire building is hanging by this small wooden stick and we surely don't want to know what would happen if someone removed that stick. Whatever happened to the bottom part of this home needs some serious attention, but someone wasn't willing to invest time and money on repairing something that would probably fall apart again at some point.
So instead, they simply grabbed a wooden beam and stuck it in the middle of the crack so that it would look like the house still had some balance. We truly hope their trick works otherwise it can result in some serious disaster.
A Symmetrical Bathroom For The Adventurous Roommates
Now, this is certainly something one doesn't see every day. This person was looking at apartments hoping to find her new home. But one of the apartments she was visiting caught her attention because of one of the strangest things ever. Everything looked quite "normal" at first, the rooms, the kitchen, the living room, and the apartment were quite nice so she was actually considering it. But then she got to the bathroom.
When she opened the door, it took her a second to realize that she wasn't just looking at a mirror. Someone had decided to build a completely symmetrical bathroom with two toilets and two sinks for to people to share. Lovely?
A Hidden Toilet In The Middle Of The Kitchen
We guess that the surprises just keep on coming because this bathroom/kitchen situation certainly caught us completely off guard. When you look at this it looks like a plain old kitchen. The homeowners decided to give it a little pizzazz by making the cabinets red, and we can't say it's that hideous. But then, this person decided to explore a little further.
Imagine their surprise when they opened the cabinet and found a functioning toilet hidden in the middle of the kitchen. The thought behind it? We have no idea.
Adding Some Green To The House
People really do go to great extents when it comes to making their homes stand out. They will do whatever they have to make their vision a reality, and it can sometimes look a little too much for others. Take this bathroom for example. It seems like whoever lived in this house wanted to add a little green to it, and since they didn't have a garden they went ahead and added fake grass to the bathroom.
We have no idea what could be the vision behind this, but they literally covered the entire floor with carpet that looks like grass. It must get so soggy when they climb out of that weird sunken bath.
The Most Dangerous Bathtub Ever
Here's another example of someone who wanted something and was willing to get it at any cost. This person wanted to have a bathtub in their house, but there was probably no proper place where they could fit it so they improvised. Is it a complete death trap? Probably. But that didn't stop them from getting what they wanted.
They found the only empty space big enough for a tub in the house and went for it. We guess they were ready to face the consequences.
This Person Probably Loves Lots Of Natural Light
For a second, one would think that we're looking at a Harry Potter scene that could very easily involve the Weasleys. It's easy to imagine them bringing a bunch of glass home to build a magical house. But no, we're not in Harry Potter world, we're looking at something that a person (or several people) built to use as their home.
Unfortunately, though, we're not really sure how this would work for them in the long run. Not only does it look totally unsafe, what happens if there's wind or rain?
This Landlord Did Not Calculate Things Very Well
Sometimes, in order to have more space in a specific part of the house, people decided to hang things in an attempt to free up counter space. This landlord seems to have had the "brilliant" idea of making a designated space to hang the microwave in, without really thinking it through. They either did it themselves or chose a professional that wasn't very professional
The result of it was this microwave that looked fine, but no one can use it due to the way it was hung. They placed it in such a way that there is no way that the door could open for more than two inches.
A Very Special Bathtub In The Middle Of A Living Room
What can we say about this one? Some people want what they want and they will go to great lengths to get it, even if it means a huge martini glass bathtub in the middle of a living room. This weird hotel literally paid someone who would build this glass for them, while still making it safe somehow, and people actually paid good money to book the room it was in.
They are clearly extremely satisfied with the result since there is a whole photoshoot happening in this picture. How do you even get in and out of this thing?
The Worst Fridge Placement
Placing furniture in a new home can be quite a difficult task, especially in homes that are on the smaller side. By the looks of this picture, it doesn't seem like the house is that small, but for some reason, the homeowners had a very interesting choice when it came to their fridge placement. Instead of your regular, reasonable space for a fridge, they went ahead and came up with this creation.
We're sure they could have come with better solutions, but hey, we're no interior designers. However, they clearly aren't either.
The Secret Toilet Under The Stairs
For some people, it's very important to make use of every single space in the house, particularly when space is a problem. But that doesn't necessarily mean that one needs to stick things where they don't belong. Take a look at this interesting placement for a toilet. Apparently, according to the homeowner's friend, they chose to build this under-the-stairs toilet for guests.
But the spot down there was so narrow that the toilet was built on the diagonal and even managed to get a little bit of the carpeted wall in the house. The result of it was this strange toilet that is certainly memorable.
A Very Concerning Garage Fail
There are all types of garages nowadays with some being incredibly modern, and others consisting of your simple and straight-to-the-point garage. By the looks of this, someone attempted to build an elevator garage but didn't go through all necessary safety procedures. Sadly, the people in this house had to find out the hard way that this is no way to build a garage.
We can only imagine the person's desperation, when they saw their Jeep getting closer and closer to the bottom of the first floor, without being able to stop what was happening. Hopefully, no one got hurt.
Another Secret Toilet In The Middle Of The Kitchen
It seems like hidden toilets in kitchens may be much more common than we thought. The reason why someone would choose to place a toilet right next to where food is prepared is confusing, but the truth is that we don't know how the rest of the house was built. It might be equally as weird. The best thing we can do is give this the benefit of the doubt.
This toilet was slightly above the rest of the kitchen, so whoever uses it gets to see the rest of their family make dinner. How lovely.
A Little Improvisation Is Key
Well, it seems like whoever built this toilet has accepted their error and has even found a solution for it to work out in the short run. We're not sure that cutting a hole in the door is a sustainable solution, but at least for the time being, people can sit on this toilet and have some privacy.
It does look somehow that the person who built this knew that there was no way that people could close this door, but they built the toilet anyway.
When Someone Doesn't Know How a Shower Works
Every single person out there is prone to making mistakes, but some mistakes are a little bit more concerning than others. Whoever built this bathroom, for example, definitely did not do the best job. In fact, they made a mistake that might have cost their job. Imagine, they had one job: to install the shower correctly and to place everything inside of the shower. But something was lost along the way because this person didn't get the memo of where the taps should be placed.
Instead of putting the entire thing in this person's shower, they installed the shower heads in the correct place, and the taps were placed outside.
Some Extra Storage Space
Here's another way to utilize the empty space in one's home that might have gone a little bit wrong. This person thought that since there was still so much closet space closer to the ceiling, maybe it wouldn't be such a terrible idea to add another mini closet. But by the looks of it, the mini closet seems to be really tiny, so we're not sure that this person will be able to fit anything in there.
Secondly, there is no ladder in sight, which makes us wonder if anyone actually goes all the way up there to use the tiny closet, or it's just there as a possible added storage.
An Interesting Choice Of Paint
Why choose your regular white and plain ceiling if one can literally have golden stripes up there? Yes, folks, this person was not impressed with a regular ceiling, and they also didn't seem to be too interested in using colors to spruce things up. Instead, they decided to be bold about their decision to have a differentiated ceiling and went for what one would describe as a textured ceiling.
That means that the ceiling is still white and plain in the background, but there are a bunch of golden textured stripes spread all over it. One thing's for sure if there is one thing they managed to do successfully with that ceiling was to stand out.
Multitasking At Its Best
And yet again, another interesting design and placement of a toilet near a kitchen. What's even more curious about these joint kitchen-toilets is that the combination is usually of those two. We're not really seeing designs of toilets in the balcony, the living, room, or the office, not really. What we're realizing is that some people use their kitchen space to sometimes add a small toilet, and when there's more space, a whole bathtub too.
That way, people can do a ton of things around the house while being together and sharing a type of trust and intimacy that not many people out there get to share in a lifetime.
Careful Pulling Out of This Garage
Now, this is definitely a very interesting choice for the entrance of a garage, and when this photo was taken, it was still under construction. It is easily one of the steepest garages we've ever seen, and we can't imagine that any car or driver will be happy about going up that ramp every single day. Can you just imagine how exhausted those pipes and mufflers will be after going up there?
Looking at the positive side though, that ramp will probably be an incredible spot for skiing during the winter, and kids can slide away for hours while having fun. So hopefully these homeowners will be able to see the positive side.
This Must Be A Garage For Parking Humans
Here goes another interesting garage situation that we can't quite understand. Somehow, whoever built this garage decided to add a set of stairs to the garage entrance, instead of making it plain and easy to enter the garage. Perhaps they were onto something and there is another entrance to this garage for the cars on the other side, but from what we're able to see here, this garage seems to be more suitable for people than cars.
We do have to admit though that the homeowners seem to take good care of their house, the garden looks pretty neat, and the entire outdoor area looks quite clean.
A Toilet With A Dead End
Something about the way this toilet is designed makes us feel like it could be part of a scary movie. The long corridor literally leads to a dead end with a single toilet, and we can only imagine how difficult it must be to get all the way to the end in the first place. Even more, can you imagine what would happen if someone got stuck there without toilet paper?
It must literally be one of the most difficult things ever to either stand up and look for that toilet paper, or to scream for someone else in the house to bring it. One thing's for sure, the toilet's design certainly stands out.
A Luxury Room With Some Extra Spice
When this couple paid a hefty some for a room in a hotel they were expecting a pretty memorable room, and that's exactly what they got. But they weren't expecting the room to be so memorable because of its unique bathroom. There is no doubt that the hotel room is stunning, the colors are beautiful, there is tons of light, and the simple and clean decor is really working out for the hotel.
But the couple certainly wasn't impressed when they realized that the toilet was completely open for anyone to see. That means that whenever someone was just laying in the luxury bed, they could comfortably watch their partner use the toilet.
There Is So Much Going On In This Picture
There is simply so much to unpack in this picture that we don't quite know where to start. First of all, this shower seems to be located at the entrance of this house, which doesn't make much sense. Or perhaps that door isn't the entrance, but a random door that doesn't lead anywhere. Bu then, there's the fact that besides possibly being in the entrance, it also seems like the shower is in the middle of a kitchen.
And if that wasn't enough, let's not miss the toilet that is located inside of the shower. We don't really understand how that works, but it seems like this person just wanted to have everything in one place.
What's Going On In Here
When one first looks at this picture, it's almost impossible to understand what is happening. There's a stairwell, a toilet, what looks like a heater, and a sink. When this person posted this picture online literally no one could understand how one enters this toilet and how they leave. According to one person who decided to investigate the background behind this picture, there was a bit of an explanation behind it.
Whoever took this picture took it while they were standing by the access door, and explained that the person who had installed the stairwell had removed a few steps to successfully install the fixtures. The entrance is definitely where the person who took the picture is standing.
A Very Modern Poop Cabinet
Who would ever think that there is such thing as a pooping cabinet? Well, if you've never seen it, then this is probably the best and only example you'll ever see. This person made the best out of their extremely narrow toilet space and decided to mix a cabinet with a toilet all in the same spot. That way, they still have access to some storage space, while at the same time having the biggest amount of privacy when they use the toilet.
And only people who know what is in there will know that there is a hidden toilet in there, otherwise, literally, no one could guess it just by looking at it.
When You Forget How Gravity Works
This is one of those situations that you look at and think: "they had one job!" It looks like whoever built this shower completely missed the point around installing that drain. Instead of putting it on the same level as the floor like one would do, they literally built a little spot where the drain could be installed. Sadly though, we don't think that's going to work out in the long run since there is no way the water will drain.
Hopefully, it's just a matter of a few changes here in there and the shower will be ready to be used.
That's Not How Sinks Work
Another person who had one job, and apparently didn't manage to come through. The tap is huge, but at least it seems to work pretty well. The basin, on the other hand, was built completely out of proportion for the tap, resulting in what we see in this picture. Once the tap is open, all of the water gets spilled on the floor and there is nothing these homeowners can do about it.
Their only solution is to probably break the entire thing and start from scratch, otherwise we don't really see how this could be fixed. Because let's be honest, even the smallest tap wouldn't work so well with this basin.
This Tree Was Placed In The Wrong Spot
There is something really confusing about this picture, especially because we're not sure about what came first, the tree or the garage? The tree looks pretty new, so it might have been planted after the garage. The person who did so was either on to something, or they were completely distracted. There is simply no way that anyone could enter the garage without running over the beautiful tree, which completely breaks the purpose of having either a tree or a garage.
Maybe this is another one of those cases where the actual entrance to the garage is on the other side, and this side is only there for display.
Making The Best Out Of a Small Space
Well, this person was quite bold when they decided to "design" this toilet this way, attempting to make the best out of the space they had. Instead of having all of their appliances installed on the floor, they managed to find a way of installing the washing machine on top of the toilet, while getting everything to function. As we can clearly see, the pipes are there, and the washing machine seems to be able to do its job.
Props to them for finding an effective solution for their lack of space, but we have to admit that we would be scared to sit on that toilet with the washing machine hanging.
