49 Bathroom Designs That Are So Hilariously Bad It Hurts To Look (New Pics)

Bathrooms—they’re an unignorable part of your life. Everybody uses them every single day. However, unless something goes very wrong, you tend to take them for granted. After all, we rarely notice design decisions when they’re done well. When they’re not, it can lead to a lot of laughter through tears.

To that end, we at Bored Panda wanted to showcase some of the most epic bathroom design fails ever. It’s the kind of narrow-minded planning that you wouldn’t wish on even your worst enemies… maybe. Scroll down for a taste of bad design, and a reminder to be grateful for when things work as intended.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.
