Real estate agents are the keepers of the keys - many keys. They get to see unique homes of all shapes and sizes, from modest to mansion, along with some truly interesting architectural choices and design ideas. Just like with fashion, everyone has their own idea of what works or not, and there are bound to be some design fails along the way - and real estate agents get a front-row seat to the madness.
Agent Venessa Van Winkle wanted to share just how weird and random the interior design of some houses are, so she called on her fellow home sellers to share photos with her of the bad, the ugly, and the bizarre. Scroll down below to look at these unbelievable home designs, and don't forget to upvote your fave funny pictures!

This is an art piece done by Makoto Egashira. She uses floral carpet to make sculptures, her work is amazing. Please check out her art, support the artist instead of just believing the photo.

Sometimes you want to nuke some pizza rolls, grab a beer, then climb into the tub for a bubble bath, and watch some TV. It's brilliant!

After a good dinner, why not top it off with a bath. Only a couple steps away. What the heck were they thinking? NM, they weren't.

Guessing they wash dishes in the tub since the sink is the size of a saucepan.

Took me a while to realize that was a kitchen sink and not a bathroom sink.

So i thought they had 2 microwaves. No. Microwave is on bottom near tub. That is a small tv/monitor above the sink. Why?? 😖

Multi-use kitchen. Bathe before you cook or afterwards. Works either way.

My house will have the BEST kitchen. It will have a sink that's so BIG, you'll be able to crawl inside of it. All neighboring kitchens will be jealous because mine has THE BIGGEST SINK. it's HUGE !!

Those prints were very popular in the 80-ties (well at least in my country). Had a similar design for wall paper in my teeny-weeny room back then!

I'm comforted that I'm not the only person whose seen these mental homes! When my hubby and I were looking for our first home to rent, we came across the flat that we'd come to call the 'pimp's palace'. It was dated af, with a carpeted bathroom and a tacky 70s bar in the living room but the layout was weird as we became more and more aware that we were walking around a hidden room in the centre of the flat, as we went from room to room which were all interconnected in a circle. We asked the estate agent what was in the middle and she sighed as she opened a hidden door. There was an actual f*****g sauna, all tiled floor to ceiling, with benches and the thing you put the coals in, in the centre of a one bed flat. We could not get out of there quick enough!

Hideous!!! That toilet only for skinny people, and that bathroom design are they expected once you in the house you take a bath right away lol And the bed so close to the bathtub you know once you demolition that house, all the mold growing in flooded or damp spot can cause your health issues. Wtf they were thinking.

Our house could have been featured here. It had a “death window” (a giant window set too low in a bedroom with no glass that looked down into the vaulted kitchen). We ended up hiring people to drywall over the Death Window. Lol.

Most colourful and creative places can be toned down with a coat of boring paint. People who leave these places behind will make the next space their own. Interior decorators NEVER put the owner's history or personality into a space, only cold pieces from current trends.
Cherry Warr 5 years ago
yes, they tell you to only paint your walls neutral 'safe' colors...I'd live in an apartment if I wanted generic. I have each bedroom painted in a jewel tone pastel, light green, sky blue, lavender and my kitchen and baths are in a beautiful French vanilla semi gloss that looks like pearl.

Nope, nope. First you need to find the origin of some of these atrocious designs & do some targeted elimination ;-) The entire world doesn't need to suffer due to, for what it seems a large part coming from 1 particular western civilization. Ah wait...... that is a possible result that could happening right now :-/ ;-)

To each, his own. Everyone has their idea of "decor". I assume these places were all decorated by their current owner(s) whose taste may or may not be to everyone's liking. Seriously, though, if you want to get a decent asking price for your home, make it neutral. Remind yourself that not everybody wants to walk into a bathroom of old country roses; not everyone wants a jacuzzi 6" from the bed. Best to paint walls neutral beiges and let the new owners put their own stamp on the decor. As for that jail cell toilet, get it removed and turn that into a pantry.

Thinking of performing home improvements or a remodel without professional guidance nor advice? You might as well set fire to several thousand dollars. That would be less expensive in the long term.

And I thought it was bad to put the kitchen (and living room and dining room) upstairs in a house with no AC. You go through the front door and you face a winding stairway. Gotta carry all groceries, etc. up said winding staircase. And try to get appliance up there when they need replaced. Or go up the outside stairs in rain + snow and through upstairs porch door. God-awful hot in summer anyway, and even more so during meal prep. The countertop halogen oven does help a little.

It's all basically a flashback to the house I was raised in, except cleaner, without my family's chaos and fighting and '80s-'90s awkwardness. On my own I've lived in a duplex where I used the front living room as my bedroom. When we had a party one night I had several people hanging w/ me in that bed/living room, at one point eight loose acquaintances sprawled out on my bed drinking. Design fail? Nay, success!
