This Twitter Account Is Sharing Home Design Fails That Might Make You Feel Better About Your Own Place (35 New Pics)
If you enjoy terrible pictures shared by real estate agents or social media pages like 'Ugly Belgian Houses', you're going to love this Twitter account too.
It's called 'Cheapo Architecture' and it has all the home ideas you love to hate. Like a very sad front lawn. Or a living room that looks like a corporate office reception room.
(Sure, taste is subjective and you might actually stumble upon something you actually like, but take this account's content as a whole and I think you'll agree with its main message).
So continue scrolling and who knows, maybe these interior and exterior, let's call them, solutions will actually make you feel better about your own place.

Yes, but why? Why would you want to do that? It looks like a freaking pair of chopsticks!
To figure out how to choose the right person for decorating your home so it wouldn't end on 'Cheapo Architecture', we contacted interior architect and lecturer of interior design at Vilnius College of Design, Judita Striukienė.
"Architects and interior designers keep up with industry trends by reading special periodicals, following their colleagues' works, taking part in various competitions as well as attending seminars and exhibitions (new technologies often spill into creative fields, so the arts can be a good ground for discoveries). Also, manufacturers often organize product introduction events that also touch on the newest tendencies," she told Bored Panda.

I've seen urban exploration videos of this place. Definitely weird. Not sure who was supposed to be their target buyer

Not an accountant, but I like it as well. I find the shape soothing (until I get to the janky fence, at least).

I disagree, an accountant would have had the windows the same size and aligned.... what's up with that upstairs window, 3rd from the left!

Now I'm also annoyed about the lack of a little window above the door to match rest of the bottom row of windows.

I love it! I do hold an accounting degree though 🤣 the door should be taller or have one of those small rectangular windows above it to even the height

Reminds me very much of all the uglier-than-sin high-density-housing that is coming up in droves all along our Wasatch Front here in Utah. Really, what happened to offering privacy and green spaces in multi-family housing complexes? Like my son commented: 20 years from now it's gonna look like we've been overrun by the projects. No thank you.

At least when they are in the house they don't have to see it. The neighbors are probably really pissed!

Looks like the ONLY thing the architect could draw was a straight line.
"When choosing an architect or interior designer, people should first consider their experience and professionalism," Striukienė said. "They should also have a similar set of values and aesthetics to you—something that can be seen in their portfolios."
"And, of course, a very important aspect of these relationships is psychological character compatibility. Without it, working together can become really challenging."

All of this should then translate into a well-wishing and respectful cooperation, where everything goes smoothly. "To me, it's very important that the client allows creativity," Striukienė said.
"You often have to educate them on essential architectural and interior design factors, help them navigate their own wants and preferences, understand. These things cost energy. However, if we've established a good relationship and there's room for creative exploration, the effort is worth it."
"What you want the least is to also work as a psychologist."

See the house on the left & at the back: this house is on a steep slope. The front entrance is clearly on the other side, where the street level is close to the level of the top floor. The car garage is at the back, where the street level is much lower. The door is just a backdoor leading to a mezzanine, and usually there is an internal staircase leading to an internal mezzanine and then to the top floor. It's not an unusual layout for houses built on hillsides.
When you're settling in, oftentimes the final version of your home looks different from the initial vision. Which, according to the interior architect, isn't necessarily bad.
"That can happen due to many reasons. For example, as I already mentioned, since the client deepens their understanding of architecture and interior design, they might decide to take the project to a new direction themselves."

It's a novelty shop and restaurant in Lahijan, in the iranian Gilan Province, called Pizza Tower. Coordinates are 37.19984016362511, 50.01520654044357. The road is not mapped on google, but trust me, it's there. The photo is cropped, in the full photo the name of the restaurant is visible
Another common reason for a change in plans, according to Striukienė, comes from decor materials. When you have a limited budget, you might need to swap what you want with what you can actually get and that, naturally, has an impact on the end result too.

The roofline on that turret looks like mortarboard chic. It just needs a tassel.

Fill that with tasteful furniture with accents of color, beautiful art, and lots of books and plants and it will be wonderful.

More power to them! I gotta confess I kinda liked some of them. ( I've never been accused of good taste.) I gotta say though if built/ designed something with my money I'd do it how I wanted it. Other people's opinions wouldn't even be a factor.

On (I think) almost every post, there was a comment that's a scam. I found myself downvoting that because I've been scammed before and it's not fun

It's spammer/scammer bots. Just keep downvoting them. With 10 downvotes, they get a 24 hour block, and with constant blocks, they get removed. It's a constant battle tho, new bots pop up here all. the. time. I guess BP doesn't have a good way to prevent them.
