Have you ever walked into someone’s house and wondered “what on earth were you thinking?” Some people are born to design or decorate. Some get by on the bare minimum of creativity. And others clearly have no cooking clue. While trends change as times move, there are certain things that will just always be a “no!”

Instagram account "Please Hate These Things" has been created to warn you about the biggest mistakes you could ever make while decorating or designing your living space. The brains behind the page is an established interior designer called Dina Holland. She started it as a laugh for her friends, but it's grown to clock up and impressive 616, ooo followers. As the account's bio notes, it's a gallery of "absurd, ugly & just plain stupid things in home design." Bored Panda has picked the worst of the worst from the page so you can check yourself before you wreck yourself during your next home design project...

    I am a short person and I do not approve. Also . . . how is the back of that fridge getting any ventilation? The bottom vent doesn't do it.

    I thought it was a sweet little house until I found the door. Now it is an abomination. Burn it down and try again.

    Looks like a Looney Tune where you just *know* sooner or later some poor hapless cat is going to get dragged through that downspout. Backwards.

    Not so much a design fail, but more of a buying the wrong type of range fail. Should have a slide-in range, not a freestanding range. For those confused by the terminology... https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/kitchen/slide-in-vs-freestanding-range.html

    This is fine. A lot of old homes weren't made with indoor plumbing, so when they added it, bathrooms got creative.

    Let me guess. There used to be a large glass window next to the door, and a smaller one above it, but they both got smashed and the building owner is too cheap to replace them, so the whole entryway is no longer secure, but wide open to anyone, including people who don’t live there. Real swell for the occupants. /s

    We literally just had a new home built and our plumber put the clean out too low. I just baseboarded over it. I have never used a clean out in my life, so I figure I can always pull off the baseboard. I was really ticked about that. But what do you do after the fact?

    Well, it probably helps keep you from accidentally sticking your finger in the outlet when you fumble for the light switch in the dark...

    I assume it's the rainspouts that we're supposed to be looking at here? Without the sloping angle, the rain wouldn't have much downward momentum.

    Works for me. Might not be the most esthetic, but I am tired of pitch-dark living spaces. Put me on Team Well-Lit.
