The Bathroom Doesn't Have A Door And It's The First Thing You See When You Walk In The House
Imagine you walk into this person's house, and the first thing you see is someone sitting on the toilet. That would be an interesting encounter no matter who was sitting there. We have never seen a bathroom without a door for some privacy. Maybe once in a sketchy club, but never in someone's home.
When you walk into this house, the smell must be awful because there is nothing to keep the toilet scent contained in the bathroom. Even if there was a door, you could still see through the walls because they are glass bricks.
Why Would Anyone Do This?
This sink placement keeps us up at night because it is so confusing. It's almost like they were playing Sims and forgot to straighten the sink. Even the microwave is shocked by this design, and not in a good way. Imagine how many times someone bruised their hip walking into this.
Maybe the view is better at an angle, or it's easier to open the window like this, but whatever the reason is, it needs to be fixed. The only upside to this design is that two people can wash the dishes together. However, it would annoy most people anytime they walked into the kitchen.
A Drain That Is Only Useful If The Shower Is Flooding
The last time we checked, the drain is supposed to be in a place where the water can go down. It's also right next to the door, so all the water is going to flood the other room. They must have asked the contractor to do something that keeps them on their toes.
What did they expect when they made the drain elevated? Were they hoping the water would magically walk up one step to get to the drain? At least they never have to worry about the drain getting clogged. Water is precious, so you don't want to let it go to waste.
100 Layer Challenge: Crown Molding Edition
Crown molding can be a gorgeous addition to the home, but we think they went a little overboard here. The crown molding is halfway down the wall, and we don't know what kind of look they were going for. It's the final boss of crown molding, and it will eat all other moldings for breakfast.
Maybe there was a glitch in the matrix or a Windows stacking error, but this is ridiculous. Aren't you wondering where they got the inspiration for this? The person who installed this must have asked themselves where they went wrong in life and how they got to that point.
Where Are The Shakes And Waitresses On Roller Skates?
We don't know if this person is stuck in the '50s or they just have an obsession with diner decor, but this is definitely the most unique bathroom design we have ever seen. While it might be exciting for them, they are going to have a hard time selling this house with that bathroom.
It looks as if Dick Clark is going to come out to host their bathtime. It is just a lot for the eyes to handle, but as long as they like it, that is all that matters. If this is what one bathroom looks like, how is the rest of their home decorated?
Pleather Over A Gas Stove, What Could Go Wrong?
Did someone ask a couch designer to decorate their kitchen? These pleather tufted cabinets are horrendous! Even the oven has a disapproving face. At least when the person goes crazy from staring at this, they will be used to a padded cell.
These look like a serious fire hazard, and it is all kinds of wrong. Tufted couches seem to stay in style no matter what, but we don't think anyone intended for that design to transfer into the kitchen. Although it isn't our style, we would love to know what it feels like.
The Almighty Porcelain Throne
Some people cherish their toilets because it is where they spend the most time, but this is taking it to the next level. What if you have an emergency and you have to climb all the way up there? Also, if someone is tall, they are going to have a hard time standing or sitting there.
If we could look into a crystal ball, it would predict that there will be a disaster involving the toilet on a pedestal. It was nice of them to add a shower curtain for added privacy in case someone else needs to use the bathroom at the same time.
This Is The Last Place We Would Want To Go To The Bathroom
Close your eyes and imagine the most uncomfortable bathroom in the world. Now open your eyes, and you will see that your nightmare has come to life. When we sit on a toilet, we wouldn't want it to feel like we are sitting on a pile of stones, and we can't be the only ones that think that.
This bathroom would not only be extremely challenging to clean, but we can't imagine anyone would be able to use this bathroom comfortably. If they had filled the gaps with epoxy or coated it with another material, it might be useable, but not like this.
This Is An Accident Waiting To Happen
Imagine every time you have to go to the bathroom, you have to climb up on this ledge. When you are extremely groggy and can't keep your eyes open in the middle of the night, it would be an accident waiting to happen because this is downright dangerous.
Also, why is the toilet brush sitting out and not in a holder? This is more like something you would find in a frat house rather than someone's home. At least this design keeps the dog from drinking out of the toilet bowl. However, we can't imagine climbing every time we have to use the restroom.
The Instant Headache Room
If our Barbie Dreamhouse from the '90s became a life-sized home, this is probably what it would look like. Between the random streamers and the loud patterned floor, this would give us a headache every time we wanted to cook something.
Even Barbie would have hired an interior decorator to modernize her kitchen. It's just too much for one small space. If the floor was more neutral or the backsplash didn't clash with the other patterns, it might be more bearable. We hope these people like it because it is just not our taste.
It Must Be Hard To Get Through This When You're Drunk
What funhouse designer decided to make this doorway curved? If someone posted a picture in front of this door, people would assume they photoshopped themselves because the doorway is curved. What came first, the cabinet or the doorway?
It would be hard to walk through this if you were extremely intoxicated or sober. Maybe it is the house for a belly dancer because they can shimmy their way through the door frame. All they need to do is fill the space with a mirror, and it will be just like a funhouse.
Why Would Someone Block Off Their Hallway?
Something was not thought through in the design of this home. They must need this weight-bearing beam to hold the house up, so they decided to design around it. There must be another way to get to the other side of the hall, or people have to slide under this each time they want to get to that room.
The people must be limbo experts, but that is a very uncomfortable way to live life. There must have been a better way to support this house without cutting off a hallway. Even if there is a way around it, it still looks really bizarre to keep in the home.
When You Really Want You Fridge To Fit In The Tiny Kitchen
When you move into a new house and take your old appliances with you, but they don't fit in the new kitchen. Sometimes you don't want to start buying all new things because they are expensive, so this person did their best to make the refrigerator fit in a small space.
On the bright side, they can use the extra space to store something, but it also looks bizarre. They might as well find a different spot for the fridge where it would fit better and use the space to add more cabinets and counter space. There must be a better way to utilize this space.
This Picture Screams Mold
Having a small rug in the bathroom to wipe your feet is a great idea because it can be put in the washing machine and dryer. However, when people have wall to wall carpeting all over the bathroom and around the bathtub, they are asking for a mold infestation.
The carpet around the toilet must be loaded with germs, and it must always smell like mildew in there. We thought people knew better than this in modern days, but we were wrong. We hope they ripped it out once they renovated the home because this needs to go.
How Many Times Have People Fallen Down These Stairs?
These stairs look like they might as well have a sign next to them saying, "broken ankles guaranteed." These things are a death trap, and we would be amazed to see anyone try to walk down these without hurting themselves. Are these even up to code?
This is like something straight out of Hogwarts. Are the stairs going to start moving while you are trying to get down them for an added challenge? When the lights go out, it becomes the stairway to heaven. We hope the person who took this photo didn't try to go down the stairs.
A Wild Fridge Escaped To The Middle Of The Room
Out of all the places someone could put a fridge, this designer decided it should be in the center of the room. Why use that space for a dining table or keep the room open when they could have their refrigerator as the centerpiece of the kitchen.
It seems like people would walk into this in the middle of the night because it is in the most inconvenient place. We can't imagine why someone would think this is the right place for a fridge because it is tucked away into a corner in most kitchens.
An Under-The-Stairs "Bathroom" Where The Toilet Is Diagonal And Partially Installed Into The Carpeted Wall
If we saw this in a house, we would make a sharp U-turn and leave right away. Who would think it would be a good idea to put a toilet under the stairs and then carpet the walls? That room is probably loaded with all kinds of bacteria, and is just asking for mold.
The toilet is also on a diagonal and only partially installed to the wall. Legend has it that there used to be white carpet on the walls, but after years of it being a bathroom, they turned brown. If they put carpet on the walls, why not put it on the ground too? None of this makes sense.
Whoever Showers Here Has To Cling On To The Rock For Dear Life
While this shower looks like something you would see in a gorgeous mountainside getaway, it also looks like it would be impossible to stand on. Usually, showers are the last place you want to feel unstable, but this rock is one giant slipping hazard.
Unless you want to live out a mermaid fantasy, this shower is more dangerous than useful. Maybe on the days when you just want to sit in the shower for hours, this would be perfect for you; however, on any other day, it would be disastrous.
This Master Bedroom Is Anxiety Inducing
We don't know why everyone was obsessed with carpet in the '70s, but this is a modern nightmare. The carpeted walls and ceiling are too much, especially in a bathroom, because of the mold. Also, who has mirrored ceilings these days? If it were windows, it would be much more pleasant.
We thought carpets on the walls were a lot, but these people went the extra mile and put it on the bathroom ceiling as well. You can almost hear Barry White playing in the background as murders are committed in the basement.
A Tiny Stage For A Performing Mouse
There is probably something underneath the square inch of raised carpet, but it is strange that they lined it and made sure there was a piece of carpet to match. It looks like a tiny stage for a mouse who is passionate about his singing career.
Someone should put up a little microphone stand with stage lighting and wait until a mouse comes to show off their talents. We bet Jerry would get up there and steal the show until Tom came along to eat him. At least it is out of the way so people won't stub their toes.
At Least You Don't Have To Reach For The Toilet Paper
This toilet design is confusing because you can't sit comfortably without the toilet paper getting in the way, but at least you don't have to reach for the roll. Wouldn't the toilet paper get dirty every time someone flushed or if they dripped on it?
For an easy-clean, someone can just slide forward off the toilet, and they don't have to worry about the effort of wiping. It's not like the bathroom is too small to put the toilet paper anywhere else. It weirdly makes sense, but we still don't think it is a good idea.
Every Time Someone Does Laundry, The Whole House Shakes
We have never seen anyone install a washing machine like this, and we wonder how many days the wall tile would last before it cracked. The air freshener and toilet paper placed on it seems like the people were thinking optimistically; however, the second it is turned on, those things will be on the floor.
What if the machine needs to be repaired? We know that they were trying to make it work because everyone needs a washing machine in their home, but this will not end well. We just don't see this ending well in any capacity, and it won't take long for them to realize this is a bad idea.
Don't Turn On The Black Light In This Bathroom
We are assuming that this was found in a night club bathroom rather than someone's home. Why wouldn't anyone want to stand behind that statue to wash their hands? It feels skeevy and inappropriate, and we hope this person got rid of it after they took the pictures.
In what world would anyone think this was acceptable decor? Even if it were in a strip club, it still feels wrong. We would try to wash our hands sideways if we had to use this bathroom, or we would avoid it at all costs like any other sane human.
Imagine Trying To Use This While Intoxicated
Since this looks like something you would find in a bar, we would be concerned that a drunk person would fall down trying to use the restroom. It also seems like this is how employees get to the basement, and there is no privacy for customers.
It looks just like the bathroom from Parasite, and just looking at it makes us want to take a two-hour shower. There is no toilet paper in sight because it must have rolled down the stairs into the dark basement. There isn't a soul brave enough to chase after that roll.
Are They Trying To Get Someone To Break All Their Bones?
At first glance, people might have thought that this was a picture over the stairs, but this person seems to have forgotten the rest of the staircase. How does anyone get up there without falling to their doom? When they have guests over they have to give them a helmet and pads to go up and down the stairs.
Why couldn't they have finished the stairs, so they went across fully? It looks like they cut them in half even though the stairs were already safe. Maybe they wanted to add a little danger to their lives and decided to take a saw to the stairs to spice things up.
Anyone With OCD Couldn't Live Here
These people made do with the existing cabinets, but it is hard for most people to look at because the stove doesn't line up. We would be frustrated every time we went into the kitchen because the stove looks like it is off-center. Could you live like this?
The stove must have been more narrow, and when they remodeled, they decided not to fix the space. Would it have cost that much extra to make one cabinet more narrow so the stove could go in the middle?
One Door Is Real And One Door Is Fake
We would like to say a silent prayer for the contractor who had to call the homeowner and break the news that they needed a second front door because math is hard. When someone comes to their home, they have to make sure they use the correct door because one of them is fake.
How many times has someone tried to enter the fake door because we can see that being a common mistake? They should have just made it a window because it looks bizarre to have two front doors. It would be a perfect deterrent for Jehovah's Witnesses.
There Is Too Much Happening Here...Where Do You Look First?
We think these people went a little overboard on their bathroom decorations between the bleeding head, golden monkey, and random saxophone. The giant head must be bleeding because the monkey kicked it as it jumped to get to the ceiling light.
It is the first bathroom we have seen based on a dream journal, and we have to know who had all these ideas. It seems like something that would be in Joey Tribianni from Friends' apartment when he moves out because he is rich from Days of Our Lives.
When You Already Have Blinds And Don't Feel Like Paying For A Shower Curtain
Nothing screams first college apartment more than plastic blinds being used as a shower curtain. Psycho would have had a completely different outcome if the shower had this loud fixture. Why spend a few dollars on a shower curtain when they could just get water all over the floor instead?
They must go through towels like crazy because they are always mopping up the water on the floor. They must have wanted to save the blinds instead of throwing them away, so they just hung them up in the bathroom because that was the only place they fit.
Form Over Function Was The Motto In This Kitchen Design
No matter where you turn, this kitchen is one mistake after another. Someone was trying to fit the most into this tiny kitchen, and it didn't turn out as functional as they had hoped. The cabinet doesn't open because of the sprinkler, and the oven scrapes the refrigerator.
This must have been designed by someone who has never used a kitchen before, and we don't know how anyone uses this. We would get annoyed after one minute in this kitchen because nothing is functional. Wouldn't they start breaking things out of rage because nothing opens fully?
There's A Lot To Unpack In This Bathroom
Sometimes you can categorize a person's design aesthetic, but we can't put our finger on this one. Between all the lace, flowers, and the shark head, we can't understand what direction they were going in. Maybe they find sharks soothing, so they decided to add it to the bathroom as a calming effect.
Can you guess what their favorite color is? When people like the color purple, it is not like their admiration for any other color; they will paint their whole house purple and dress in different purple shades if possible. They will even paint sharks purple because regular colored sharks are not acceptable.
Where Did The Stairs Go? Oh There They Are!
We don't know what the designer was thinking, but it definitely wasn't about the safety of others. The pattern makes the stairs impossible to see, and this is a broken ankle waiting to happen. Maybe they want people to enter their house and fall on their faces.
This looks like something you would find in a funhouse and not something you would want to deal with every time you walked in your front door. Maybe they should have put a colored outline on the edge of the step so people could at least see them when they walk in.
Making The Most Out Of Every Space
"Doctor, I fell down the stairs while shaving. Seriously!" This house probably has limited space, so they made the most by putting a bathroom at the bottom of the staircase, but the sink situation doesn't seem like it would be useable for everyone.
Between the water from the shower, slipper steps, and no handrail, it seems like the perfect recipe for disaster. They thought adding an extra bathroom would increase the property value, but in this case, it has the opposite effect. At least they managed to make room for the bidet.
They Turned An Old Balcony Into A Bedroom...WHY?
When you move into a smaller house and need space, it might seem logical to do the best with what you have. However, in this situation, something isn't adding up. The people turned a balcony into a bedroom and forgot to change the sliding glass door.
The lock to the door is on the wrong side, and they have basically no privacy. When they put up the bedroom walls, why didn't they think to add another wall with a regular door? It must be awkward to sleep or change in this room because anyone can walk in or see through the window.
Faux Mold Is The Latest Trend
Who knew that having moldy flooring would be a trend in home design! These spotted tiles look like someone hasn't washed them in a long time, and it is making us question what the designers were thinking. Why would anyone want their floor to look like it always has mold growing on it?
Maybe they did this so they wouldn't have to clean as often. It looks like they have never cleaned the grout, so they must not enjoy scrubbing the floors either. If they put a piece of blue cheese on the ground, no one would ever find it. As Randy Jackson says, "It's gunna be a no for me, dawg."
Why Is This Even A Thing?
If you ever wanted an anti-burglar window, this design is perfect for you. They would enter and then fall right to their demise. However, if a firefighter entered the smoke-filled second story, they would need backup because this little ledge makes zero sense.
We've played enough video games to know that something good is hiding up there, like an extra life or some hidden weapon. It would have been better if they put a chair up there to give the illusion that someone likes to hang out on the floating ledge.
This Should Be Illegal
What responsible human would allow someone to build stairs like this? Common sense wasn't with the person the day they designed and installed the top of these stairs, and we can only imagine the number of times someone has fallen while exiting this room.
Imagine someone is running late and they run out of their room and forget the stair is there. That would be one hard fall to the ground, but a good excuse as to why they were late. If someone buys this home, they should fix the landing and stairs, so no one else has to get hurt.
A Throne Room Fit For A Pink Princess
If we tried to imagine what the Queen's bathroom would look like, this is the image that comes to mind. Besides her regular throne room, she also has a throne room for more private matters. These people really worship their toilets enough to put them on a pedestal.
This could also be Elle Woods' bathroom because we know how much she loved anything and everything pink. However, it is missing some feather accents, and the shades are a bit muted to ber her exact style. The raised ledge is a major tripping hazard for anyone taking a bathroom break in the middle of the night.
How Do They See The TV From That Far Away?
If you want neck pains and a possible head injury, then this is the perfect placement for your TV. If someone trips over the chord, that massive TV will come crashing to the ground and hurt whoever is standing under it.
We haven't even mentioned the strange color choices and murals on the ceiling because our eyes immediately stare at the TV. This is the perfect example of when someone wins the lottery and decides to design the home they envisioned as a child.
Someone Used An Exterior Door As A Bathroom Door
When this couple moved into their new home, they didn't realize the bathroom door was actually an exterior door. It had a deadbolt lock on it, and the windows were practically see-through. While this isn't the worst thing because there are many solutions for the windows, it is strange to find in the home.
When the couple was looking at the home, they didn't notice anything odd about the door until they finally moved in and had more time to inspect. They could try contact paper on both sides of the windows or get a curtain to hang in front for more privacy.
The Queen's Seat
The person who took this photo could have at least flushed before snapping a picture. We hope whoever is the owner of this home washes these toilet covers often because they collect a lot of germs, and it is also very unnecessary.
It looks like someone's guest bathroom doesn't get used often because no one feels comfortable sitting on this toilet. We haven't seen someone dress their toilet since the '70s, and we hope it isn't making a comeback. This needs to be burned or destroyed immediately.
Making Sure Everyone Is Clean When They Enter Your Home
It is normal for you to want everyone who comes into your home to be clean in times like these. You never know where they have been or what germs they are carrying around, so why not make them shower before they can get into the main part of your home?
Can you imagine walking into someone's home and basically entering through their shower/restroom? It would be awkward if someone was using the shower and a friend showed up unexpectedly. The house must be covered in wet footprints from people walking through the shower every time they come over.
Defeats The Entire Purpose Of The Fan
Have you ever wanted to add a ceiling fan into your home that serves absolutely no purpose? This fan's raised cutout doesn't allow it to suck in any air, so it is basically just a decoration. You would think that people would have more common sense, but that apparently doesn't exist.
When they installed this fan, they thought it would be like recessed lighting, but at least the lighting can still do its job when it is in the ceiling, unlike this fan. They need a longer rod so that the fan can be installed outside of the cut out where it will work.
These Tiles Were Designed To Look Pre-Worn
While you may think that someone has been lazy about cleaning their kitchen floor, these tiles were actually made to look pre-worn. They were probably extra expensive because someone had to work hard to make them look used.
It's like Golden Goose sneakers; they are made to look like you have worn them a ton, and they cost about $500. We don't know where this tile trend started, but we would like to petition for it to end. No one wants dirty-looking floors.
What Are They Hiding Under That Raised Floor?
How uncomfortable would you feel when sitting on this toilet. It seems like they built the ledge around the toilet to hide something, and we are too afraid to know what is underneath it. Is there more mold, is there an exposed pipe, or a dead body? We may never know.
What we do know is that it looks like a sketchy gas station bathroom that is rarely cleaned and not a place you want to do your business. That is the get in and get out kind of restroom where you barely touch anything.
