Good design is about finding the delicate yet pleasing balance between form and function. Though a lot depends on what you want to get done, a good rule of thumb is to keep your designs simple, so that they’re easily understood, practical, and aesthetic. But some people throw the rulebook out the window into the dumpster. And then they wing it.

Even though bad home interior designs are something you should practice social distancing from, you can’t deny that they can be hilarious… as long as it’s not your home we’re talking about! Bored Panda wanted to make you laugh and feel better about having to stay in your lovely home during the lockdown, so we’re bringing you the funniest, most facepalm-worthy interior design fails that prove common sense is actually quite rare.

Are you in the mood for some more horrendous examples of design? Well, once you’re done scrolling through this list and upvoting your fave horrible design pics, we invite you to check out earlier posts about design fails here, here, and here.

Designer Dieter Rams is one of the world’s brightest experts when it comes to design that’s done well. Back in the 1970s, he said that the world was full of “an impenetrable confusion of forms, colors, and noises” and then went on to create his 10 principles for good design. In our opinion, he expressed timeless rules that are as important now as they were back then.

For Rams, good design has to be innovative but also useful. It can’t sacrifice form or function for one or the other: it has to be a blend of both. If a product is self-explanatory, even better! That goes for designs everywhere—if something is over-designed, it can create confusion.

Similarly, Rams argues that good design is honest, long-lasting, friendly to the environment, has a shelf life longer than current trends, and does away with non-essentials. In short, aim for purity. Show the essence of the design. Do away with what’s unnecessary. More is less.

However, we’re not the only ones who think that bad designs can be a lot of fun (and not just a warning about what to avoid doing). The founders of the Ugly Design Instagram page, Jonas Nyffenegger and Sébastien Mathys, told Bored Panda in an earlier interview that bad designs jump out at people from the screen and grab their attention.

What’s more, atrocious designs also keep on surprising people. Just when you think you’ve reached the bottom of the (Un)Aesthetic Abyss, you realize that it was just the tip of the Iceberg of Bad Taste. What’s more, the founders pointed out that the world would be a very boring place if everything looked tasteful and nice.

so if you filled in the gaps with an epoxy resin, it might be cool, but this looks impossible to keep clean as it is.

I think it's oddly photographed. The shower is aimed in front of the rock. The spray bouncing off the edges or a person is what's wetting it. The rock is probably a place to sit and shave legs, etc.

Yep, someone hasn't tried slippery bathtub for shower. Such stone should be pretty reasonable - stones are usually more slippery when going with shoes, or when they are very smoothly polished. Personally I would like to visit here.

African style shower. I've stayed in homes where the bathroom consists of a fenced-off corner in the yard with a bucket of water and yes, a stone to stand on, so you're not standing in the mud and the water runs off. As long as the stone is not slippery it's OK.

How about a large potted plant there. Make it a shelf. Or, make sure you have a camera recording at the next party.

Those toilet paper roll holders that are inset into the wall are often not usable with all types of rolls, either.

So you trip over toilet trying to get away from the sink, hook the back of your skull on the hooks, and bleed out in the tub. This is less interior decorating, more premeditated homicide.

why in the world did they think it had to attach to the other one? two separate banisters would make more sense.

Strange how often these "alternating tread stairs" appear in these 'bad design" posts. They are specifically designed like this to be placed in spots where a regular stair won't fit. Because of their design, you can put in a much steeper stair which still is easy to traverse. When you think about it, your foot-placement is exactly the same as on a regular stair, you just have to start off on the right (correct) foot, so there is no safety issue. (There's one of these at my local climbing gym, used it hundreds of times. without any missteps, even at high speed)
