Renovations help create more space at home. Apart from that, making changes in your living space also helps improve your family’s safety and comfort. Remodeling can make your life at home more convenient, too.
Unfortunately, not everyone who does home renovations know their true purpose. They just make changes without considering anything.
If you are planning on renovating your home, check out these 52 photos of the worst interior designs people made. Make sure to avoid them at all cost.
1. Home for sale
It could use a little work, but it has a huge selling feature. It comes with a mother-in-law suite. Plus, a door to her own private deck.
2. Multitask
Sit a while and soak your feet. You’ll feel so rejuvenated. Or, if there is a man in the house, be very concerned about his aim. Shudder!
3. Oh hell, no!
I’m sorry, but there is no way I’m sitting on that toilet seat. Who wants insects—even if it is just pictures of them—that close to their bare lady bits? Certainly no one with an overactive imagination.
4. This will fix it
Do you hate having door glass since you’re afraid taller people are going to be able to look in your home? Ha! Fooled them!
5. Well…
I will admit that at the end of a long day I love to sit in a hot bath. Maybe with a glass of wine. And I may think something along the lines of, “I could live here.” But writing home on the walls? Nope.
6. It’s… bright
Yellow is a beautiful color. Most colors are—in moderation. However, this is just insane. All the hues are bad enough, but then add the busts and the statues and this just screams bad taste.
7. Has anyone seen my purse?
Oh, maybe it’s one of the many bags hanging from the ceiling. And they are not at all distracting, given everything else that is going on there.
8. Cold shower
Have you ever had to take a cold shower for whatever reason? It’s really unpleasant, and that’s putting it mildly. I wonder if that’s why this person thought a fireplace in the shower would be a good idea.
9. Scratchy pedestal?
You know those things that cat owners have so their cats claw it instead of the furniture? Is this a life-size replica?
10. A beautiful ride
This is certainly up for argument. Whether an old Chevy pickup—or at least part of one—is really a beautiful choice and whether that same partial pickup is a good choice as a bed frame.
11. Honey, we need a range hood
You know, I thought the mantle up against the bathroom wall was bad. This piano/range hood hanging on the kitchen wall is definitely worse.
12. This is such a bad idea
Nice big island in the middle of the kitchen? Check. Legs and feet that stick out far enough to constantly trip out the legs and feet trying to walk around it? Check.
13. Hire a professional
When decorating, it’s a good idea to hire a pro. Especially if you don’t have a clue. They could share things with you like the fact there are slide-in ranges for situations like this. Or even better, a stovetop and oven drawer.
14. Dear God
If you weren’t some sort of lunatic—are we still allowed to say that?—to start off with, living in this nightmare would quickly turn you into one. Before long, you will be twitching and drooling.
15. Aye, Matey
Captain and the Missus are fine seafaring folk. They love to sleep amid the crashing waves and under the constellations. But don’t worry, they have a sextant handy.
16. I’m a little loss for words here
I don’t mean to offend anyone, but is this what we mean by gender fluid? Is this a representation? That’s about the only explanation I can come up with.
17. NSFW
Those who arrive early get to watch from our custom-made viewing platform. And we’re sorry, but the rocking horse doesn’t have the best viewing angle.
18. That floor and that stone!
So, you don’t want your fireplace. I’m sure there are better ways than this to deal with it. Like removing the mantle and covering that stone.
19. Intriguing combination
The delicate pink butterfly in the background. That lamp thing in the foreground. That giant lamp thing that’s either carrying helmets or a boombox. Let’s not miss the beads—and maybe the flag?
20. Where to start?
First, who lives here? Some 7-foot-tall basketball player? Because most people will not be able to see themselves in that mirror. Secondly, who in their right mind puts a mantle in the bathroom?
21. Open concept
When did we start taking the open concept floor plan to a whole new level? The Jacuzzi tub in the kitchen is brilliant. Or is it the other way? A kitchen in the bathroom?
22. Where to start?
The DNA strand columns? The fact that they’re not centered around the door? The fact that nothing seems to be centered? Check out the house number and the porch light. Oh, and that door does not go with that house.
23. No loitering
Perhaps there’s a method to this madness. If you don’t want people lingering in your powder room, this is surely the way to go. It’s freakish and a little bit scary.
24. Tell me I’m not seeing this
Is that entire bathroom covered in carpet? Or velour blankets? Towels? I really can’t tell. And honestly, does it even matter? If a man uses that, he’d better have perfect aim.
25. Is Barbie their decorator?
Or maybe one of the Disney Princesses? The walls are bad enough. Then let’s add the sheers and the multicolored cushions and it looks like a box of crayons puked.
26. No, this is real
I know you’re thinking someone got crazy with Photoshop, but this is the real deal. Basketballs on the counter and some crazy-ass island made from what? A shattered remnant of granite?
27. Some people read…
And I guess other people pretend to ice fish as they sit on the toilet. And that there are dead fish littering the ground around them. Makes sense to me.
28. The talk with the contractor
“I really want an island there.” “Sorry, ma’am. Those are weight-bearing joists.” “But I really want an island there.” “Yes, ma’am. But as I said, those joists are necessary.” “But I really want an island there.” The contractor throws his hands in the air. “Fine, whatever.”
29. So, yeah
Ladies, I have a question for you. If you were interested in a man, and you found out this was his bed, how fast and how far would you run?
30. Wait!
I was so caught up in the horror that is that bathroom, I nearly missed something. There are clothes hanging in the windows that look like they are part of the window coverings. Are they part of the windows coverings?
31. I’m so confused
Okay, at first, I thought this was a courtyard. You know, outside the house, leading to the front door. But nope. This seems to be inside the front entrance. And everyone wants the front door blocked by a firepit, right?
32. No insurance in the world will cover this
Are these people completely stupid? This goes way beyond bad design ideas; this is near-certain death for someone in that pool or below it. There will be a weight calculation for that balcony, and you can be sure this far exceeds it!
33. What is this?
This looks like a reception area. I feel like there should be a hostess standing there too, ready to take your coat. What’s the correct protocol? Do you leave a tip when you are in someone’s home?
34. Kitchens and bathrooms
You know how real estate agents say kitchens and bathrooms mean the most when it comes to resale? Have you noticed how many of these pictures are kitchens and bathrooms? What are people thinking?
35. Are they screaming?
I’m not sure what this room is, but I’m guessing some sort of wine cellar. If your aim is for people not to linger, this interior design is dead on. I think those people painted on the wall are running away screaming, not singing.
36. It’s a Rubik’s cube!
I’ve never really thought about this before, but now I am. What mood should your kitchen inspire? A kitchen is often a place of gathering, so I’m thinking along the lines of comfort. This inspires angst and tension. And a whole lot of horror.
37. Imagine walking into this every morning
You know how the light hurts your eyes when you turn in on in the morning? If it’s still dark when you get up? This is the equivalent. Most people would need to slam their eyes shut when they walked into this room. All that, plus a checkered tile floor. 😵
38. Someone is a masochist
Can you imagine bathing in that room? And the hideous walls aren’t even the biggest issue. Look at that tub! It’s all rough and sharp. No one I know wants to have their flesh pierced while bathing. To each his own, I guess.
39. I miss the farm
City living is tough when you grew up surrounded by all those open spaces. All those barnyard animals. Clearly, there’s something you can do. You can have the best of both worlds.
40. It’s a little stark
So, despite the violent orange, this bathroom is just a little too basic. I really think they could take it up a notch with the right choices in towel bars, towels, and some really awesome rugs. And don’t get me started on that bare window.
41. Bad hair day
These creepy stairs lead up to the moldy room just upstairs. The one you just saw. A serial killer lives in this house, and he likes to collect hair and make carpets out of it. He also hides the bodies under the trapdoor in the moldy room. Hence, the mold.
