People Are Sharing The Worst Kitchen Designs They’ve Encountered, And They’re Hilarious (30 Pics)
Food. Family. Fun. These three words perfectly describe the kitchen, which is where everybody loves to congregate. And though we might say that all people are created equal, the same can't really be said about all kitchens.
There are some truly crappy designs of kitchens out there. Interior designs that will have you giggling with glee at how stupid they are. Bad designs that will have you cringing at how somebody could have overlooked such obvious, in-your-face flaws. Epic kitchen fails designed to make Gordon Ramsay scream “Shut it down!” and Dr. Frankenstein yelling “It’s alive!”
We know you’ve had a long week at work and at school, so we here at Bored Panda have created the following list of the very best and ‘tastiest’ kitchen design fails. So grab yourself a refreshing drink, put on a restaurant ASMR soundtrack, and scroll on. After all, you deserve a break. Make sure to upvote your favorite horrible kitchen disasters, and tell us what you love to hate about them. And after you’re done, take a look through Bored Panda’s awesome articles about various bad designs here, here, and here. Oh, and here. Whoops, forgot one more — here, as well.

There’s nothing that says bon appétit like a train-wreck of a kitchen. And boy, are there plenty of those out there. Kitchens that make you wonder whether the architects who designed them have ever eaten (or cooked) in one before. Kitchens that make you realize why not everyone who gets a degree in architecture is worth the paper their diploma is printed on. Kitchens that get bullied by other rooms in the house for looking shabby, kitschy and weird.

$1 Million San Francisco Loft Has Diagonal Support Beam That Cuts Through The Middle Of The Kitchen
How about hanging up a piano above the stove? Sounds like a good idea! Or how about we build the kitchen behind the refrigerator? Aye-aye, skipper! Also, we should probably install all the appliances in such a way that makes it impossible to open up any drawers. And don't forget a mass of terrible kitchen decor that'll accumulate grease, dust, and the smells of burning dreams.

But How Will People Know We’re Fancy Unless We Etch The Lamborghini Into The Window?

This Entire Kitchen’s Counters And Backsplash Are Covered With This “Faux Mold” Tile
But when exactly did kitchens start being a thing? Well, the first kitchens were outdoors because that’s where fires were built. According to John Desmond Limited, the smoke created by fires was a major problem indoors until the 16th century — that’s when chimneys became widespread in houses.

If Only There Was Some Other Utensil They Could Have Put On This Kitchen Decoration...
Wood-fired kitchen stoves appeared in the 18th century, which were later replaced by ones that burned coal. The gas stove was first patented by James Sharp in 1826 and became a widespread addition in most kitchens by the 1920s. That’s when the electric stove started competing with its gas counterpart. However, it’s not what stove you use that’s important — it’s that you place it somewhere so it doesn’t block half the kitchen’s drawers.

The bathroom/kitchen/laundry combos are in former Sovjet countries. It's just a practical solution with the space they got.

Many of these of these are situations where the homeowner converted a small room or basement into a VERY small , very illegal, rental space.

For a few months after I moved to NYC (and left the house of the family I had been staying with near Long Island), I took a sublet of a studio flat near Harlem. I hadn't checked it out first. It had the toilet in the kitchen, and a tiny sink and shower room on the other side of the square that was this studio space. That was the only sink in the place. I was mortified, but it was super cheap, and I felt it was necessary so that I could look for a job in my field. 3-hour train rides between the a*s end of Queens into Manhattan and back weren't working. I NEVER prepared food in that kitchen. Thank goodness I didn't have to; I had a quick pick-up job at a restaurant while I looked for something else.

I said it in a comment on a photo, but my friend has a washing machine and shower in her kitchen. It's a very small house, the toilet is outside. I get the "How about no toilets in the kitchen" thing because, yes gross. But a shower or washing machine makes sense.

Well it seems most of the designs from places that have minimal space, so its understandable and practical.

so many pics showing what a terrible idea it is to try to turn an older home into open floor plans. It just doesn't work sometimes, but dumb people do it anyway. Then they complain how loud it is b/c you hear everything when you take out the walls. If you want open floor plans, buy a home that's that way already instead of ruining a home that wasn't meant to be open. Personally, I want separation of the rooms. A kitchen open to a family room is nice but otherwise I want separate rooms for everything. Our home is so nice and quiet b/c it's a somewhat sprawling ranch. I can be blaring music in the den while my hubs watches tv in the living room and we can't hear a thing.

I love the comment from Sinkvenice "Why are there so many kitchens that are also bathrooms??" Here's my answer to this question? Well you never know when you're needing to use the toilet and still be the kitchen at the same time.
