We can't all be visionaries like Frank Gehry - sometimes eccentric ideas just translate into crappy design - like the ones on the following list. No matter how many times we shame the bizarre creations of product designers everywhere, there seems to be an endless supply of poorly executed bad designs to choose from.

The following list is a collection of design fails from one of our favorite subreddit groups /CrappyDesign. While a multi-dimensional mirror may sound like something that belongs in the Museum of Modern Art, is it truly necessary to have one incorporated in your interior design? Or a bookshelf may seem like a necessity for your textbooks, but if they take up the whole locker, where does your backpack go? Scroll down below to see some truly epic fails, and don't forget to upvote your favorite funny photos!

What bothers me is how sporadic the red part is. It really does look like a murder scene--or a horror movie.

In the hospital I gave birth to my kids, an architect had the wonderful idea to paint in red the corridor leading to the operating rooms to symbolize the umbilical cord... really soothing when you're on your way for a C-section in emergency.

Did anyone at any time consider that red might, just might, be the wrong color to use? That it may convey the wrong message? Like...unsuccessfully hiding a body, or two...
