People Are Sharing The Worst Kitchen Designs They’ve Encountered, And They’re Hilarious (30 Pics)
Food. Family. Fun. These three words perfectly describe the kitchen, which is where everybody loves to congregate. And though we might say that all people are created equal, the same can't really be said about all kitchens.
There are some truly crappy designs of kitchens out there. Interior designs that will have you giggling with glee at how stupid they are. Bad designs that will have you cringing at how somebody could have overlooked such obvious, in-your-face flaws. Epic kitchen fails designed to make Gordon Ramsay scream “Shut it down!” and Dr. Frankenstein yelling “It’s alive!”
We know you’ve had a long week at work and at school, so we here at Bored Panda have created the following list of the very best and ‘tastiest’ kitchen design fails. So grab yourself a refreshing drink, put on a restaurant ASMR soundtrack, and scroll on. After all, you deserve a break. Make sure to upvote your favorite horrible kitchen disasters, and tell us what you love to hate about them. And after you’re done, take a look through Bored Panda’s awesome articles about various bad designs here, here, and here. Oh, and here. Whoops, forgot one more — here, as well.

"I Have Two Of Those In My Kitchen"

Load More Replies...I thought was a clothes dryer. I mean, if they’ve got a toilet in their kitchen, why not laundry as well...
Load More Replies...Y'all are talking about how gross the kitchen is because of the toilet, but what about how awful the toilet is? I literally have nightmares about needing a toilet and the only one available is out in the open for everyone to see. Gimme a toilet behind a closed door, please, not in "the heart of the home!" It's a fail as a kitchen, AND a fail as a bathroom!
True. The kitchen is the dirtiest room in the house. Why put your toilet there?

I used to work as a cleaner in those prostitute window rooms in Amsterdam, and this kitchen really reminds me of that aesthetic. Just a bit less red.
I bet this was expensive when it was done though. Made by an auto upholsterer
This could be a do-it-yourself. Unlike traditional upholstery, the vinyl can simply be stapled to the back of the cabinet doors, and the tufting is relatively easy to achieve with the solid foundation of the wooden door. I don't see any piping or sewing at all, just decorative tacks. You can achieve the smooth-stretched look by heating the vinyl before pulling the tufts.

There’s nothing that says bon appétit like a train-wreck of a kitchen. And boy, are there plenty of those out there. Kitchens that make you wonder whether the architects who designed them have ever eaten (or cooked) in one before. Kitchens that make you realize why not everyone who gets a degree in architecture is worth the paper their diploma is printed on. Kitchens that get bullied by other rooms in the house for looking shabby, kitschy and weird.

How about hanging up a piano above the stove? Sounds like a good idea! Or how about we build the kitchen behind the refrigerator? Aye-aye, skipper! Also, we should probably install all the appliances in such a way that makes it impossible to open up any drawers. And don't forget a mass of terrible kitchen decor that'll accumulate grease, dust, and the smells of burning dreams.

This "Form Over Function" Kitchen In My Apartment...
My 5yo son could design a better kitchen. Seriously whoever did this should NOT be in the building/cabinet making industry.

Ohhhh..... the hairs on my neck are burning for stubborn people.
But when exactly did kitchens start being a thing? Well, the first kitchens were outdoors because that’s where fires were built. According to John Desmond Limited, the smoke created by fires was a major problem indoors until the 16th century — that’s when chimneys became widespread in houses.

Interesting Cupboard Design
Ah, a fine example of the traditional doubledickian style from the hung-well period. Simply splendid..
You can almost hear the faint cries of "We don't need a stupid contractor! We'll save money if I remodel the kitchen myself!" echoing through the house.
This actually sort of makes sense, aside from the graphics on the doors. Using pre-fab cabinets, they were staggered for a reason. The high cupboard used to have a fridge below it. The middle cupboard had the oven. The mismatched darker lower cabinet was stuffed in there after the stove and fridge were moved.
If Only There Was Some Other Utensil They Could Have Put On This Kitchen Decoration...
Can't pluralize the word "full" (ful). Correctly, it should read "spoonSful" - not "spoonfulS". After all, the spoons are full of love, not the "full"(ful). Someone needs to back to school for grammar and visual art (fork instead of spoon). WOW!
Wood-fired kitchen stoves appeared in the 18th century, which were later replaced by ones that burned coal. The gas stove was first patented by James Sharp in 1826 and became a widespread addition in most kitchens by the 1920s. That’s when the electric stove started competing with its gas counterpart. However, it’s not what stove you use that’s important — it’s that you place it somewhere so it doesn’t block half the kitchen’s drawers.

"Open concept" does NOT mean making half a wall in the middle of the room for a single item!

When Space Saving Hacks Go Too Far
Unfortunately these people have had to work with what they had. That’s a very tiny kitchen/laundry.
So why did they go with full-sized appliances then? There are scaled down, apartment-sized versions that are designed for smaller spaces. Though they might still have been a tight fit, they would have fit more logically, and without ludicrous improvisations like this and many of the others in this article.
Load More Replies...If that fridge was actually designed to be like that, it would be fine. But in its current state it's dangerous.
Someone either didn't put much thought into this, or ran out of time.
Just Added The Curtain For Privacy!
It's a tub for washing dogs. This person (or the previous owners) probably runs/ran a grooming business out of their house and this was the most convenient place, plumbing wise, to put in the tub. It's designed to be easy to lift or entice even large dogs in and out of with minimal back strain, at a good height to wash while sitting on a stool, but small enough so that the dog can't move or spin around while you're washing them. My mom is figuring out how to retro fit one into her basement so she can add grooming services to her pet walking/ boarding business.
I could see how that would work, but no, it's not a grooming business, it's a rental in Ukraine. It's probably one of these communal types of apartments where the bathrooms and kitchens are one for each floor so they probably tried to fit it all in this one room due to the lack of space.
Load More Replies...Showers in kitchens were quite usual for very old (and not frequently remodelled) buildings in European cities. At least it's not a toilet...
You're right. My aunt used to live in flat with the shower in the kitchen. That was in the 1980's, after the wall came down, in Leipizg. The toilet was outside down one flight of stairs, so two flats could share it. Believe me, it was so strange to take a shower there, even as a little girl, cause everyone would sit there( kitchen was the main room of the flat) and chat while my cousins and I showered.

This Kitchen Appears To Be Under The Attack Of Some Giant At-At Walkers
Agree, that floor is heinous, and it looks old enough to have been there before the kitchen was built. I'd bet this is a conversion and they couldn't/wouldn't take the tiles out.

The Worst Kitchen Layout Ever
No, this doesn’t even come close to “worst ever.” At least it has a functional work triangle, no toilet or shower, and things that should be on the floor are on the floor.
It’s amazing how we come to prioritize what’s workable—albeit less than ideal—vs. what is tyrannical when faced with enough examples of the latter.

Nate and Jeremiah are amazing interior designers and came to the rescue. The remodel came out beautifully.

Shower In The Middle Of A Kitchen
can you imagine, might be a switch for water outside, so that they can wash all the vegetables and fruits at one go. I am still wondering about the height, how much of vegetables can buy to fill all the available space?
That is what i would do with that. Like a fridge with grated shelves and wash vegetables and fruit all in one shot. Who needs a double sink?
Load More Replies...I remember quite a few places like this from a few decades back. The cheaper turn of the century period appartments in Germany originally had no bathrooms or toilets. Just communal places in the courtyard or basement. Some time in the 60s and 70s a toilet was squeezed into the former larder, but there was no extra room for a bathroom, so into the kitchen (where the water is) a shower with integrated water heater and pump was put. Both my older siblings lived like that for quite a while. ( I did not move in to period houses until much later, thank God)
My Nan got one of these put in the kitchen when she struggled getting up the stairs. Needs must
My friend in Zürich also had the shower in the kitchen. But the toilet and a sink was in a room of it's own.
my friend in Amsterdam had a tiny appartement from around 1600. He didnt have a bathroom and had this too. everyone thougt it ws normal. it was either this or no shower.
When you want that just fresh out of the shower feeling right before you cook.
An Abundance Of Prep Space Though, You Can’t Deny That. Just Don’t Let The Chicken Slide Off When You Go To Change Out The Load Of Darks
Most kitchens in the UK have the washing machine in them. We don't have enough room for seperate laundry rooms! However they are all front loading and go under the countertops.
Well, if this was the only way to get a washer and dryer in my house, I'd take it.
We had a closet in the kitchen for the washer and drier. I'd dry a load of clothes and set a bowl of dough on top. The heat would help it rise
They Must Have Been High When They Installed This Kitchen Unit

Manhattan Apartment Kitchen $1485 Per Month
first - it the cooker should be placed near the window second - can be removed that cabinet door and placed instead an up-down sliding door
Just yesterday there was an article about how some slumlords are taking one floor of NYC apartment buildings and splitting them into two different floors. The apartments are really short, and really dangerous (ie: not up to legal code). I'm sure the people who had this bright idea had that one.
This Cupboard Is Spectacular
In this one I can get the logic: the wall probably has a vent inside so it cant't be moved and the kitchen cupboards were probably not custom made with specific dimensions but picked pre-made and the owners only had so many options to choose from. So instead of leaving like a 15 cm gap between the wall and the cabinet which just would trap garbage they chose this. Ideal? No. Only 30% functional? Yes))
I don't find this awful actually, seems to me like a decent camouflage and work with 'what you had'.
I Don't Know If I Could Focus Under These Conditions
Tons Of Seating...on The Starship Enterprise
These chairs are so impractical. How can you sit on them comfortably especially if you aren’t a petite size.
we had similar ones in a company I was working a while ago, in the caffetteria. The only annoying problem is that they keep moving. After a while you get used, however, despite the hazardous design, that cuts a lot the cleaning expenses and the time required to clean the area without need to raise the chairs.
Load More Replies...They must do as they're hard up against the table top in the picture. A sheet of paper couldn't sit there.

This Office Kitchen
And THAT'S the office where all the people who asked for raises now work. Now, next on our tour...
that was the door from the boss office, he is not allowed anymore in the kitchen
I rented a house that actually did this. Of course, they were at least smart enough to remove the door, frame, etc. and fill in the hole to make a solid wall. But now there's a stairway in the basement that goes nowhere.
Office building always have multiple doors that are always locked to create different office spaces. if the company just leased that building for 5 years, they can install the kitchen there since they know they don't need that door

Shower In The Middle Of A Kitchen
This is common in my country in houses that are built in the beginning of the 19th century. There were no bathrooms planned into these houses. There was only one toilet for entire floor, for several flats. As the time chagnes and people have higher standards these kind of bathrooms were built in the kitchens.

My fridge is in the far corner of our dining room coz it wont fit anywhere in my kitchen and we had to demolish a corner unit that was there to put the fridge otherwise our fridge would be outside. Fortunately our landlord is also a friend so had no problem with us removing the unit.
Crappy Kitchen Layout (Cabinets On Bottom Left)
This was designed for a one-door narrow fridge/freezer which would allow access to the cupboards. Whoever is renting must want their larger two-door fridge/freezer.
We had a problem trying to find a newer more efficient refrigerator that would fit in our kitchen. Efficiency regulations put in place since 1993 have made for 'bulkier' appliances as they incorporate more insulation than they used to. A fridge with the same interior volume takes up much more space. So we still have a 'biscuit' colored 80s fridge.

by the power of absorption. you might imagine, a mini-fan to redirect the steam where you might want, and there shall be smoke hood
Actually it probably works reasonably well. The biggest issue is that the hood it too high so won't really generate much air movement at the actual cooktop. That it is diagonal to the cooktop doesn't matter - air can actually flow at an angle.

Load More Replies...For a few months after I moved to NYC (and left the house of the family I had been staying with near Long Island), I took a sublet of a studio flat near Harlem. I hadn't checked it out first. It had the toilet in the kitchen, and a tiny sink and shower room on the other side of the square that was this studio space. That was the only sink in the place. I was mortified, but it was super cheap, and I felt it was necessary so that I could look for a job in my field. 3-hour train rides between the a*s end of Queens into Manhattan and back weren't working. I NEVER prepared food in that kitchen. Thank goodness I didn't have to; I had a quick pick-up job at a restaurant while I looked for something else.

Converted apartments, where a unit was split and a half-bath was turned into a full bath and kitchen due to proximity to the drains. Basements where you would have to dig up the concrete slab to install drains, or else run them in the kick-space beneath cabinets to the nearest existing drain.

Love the idea of a guest using your toilet while you are cooking them a meal! Very practical indeed! No need to spice the food or anything

Places like Russia have apartments like this for rent (not sure it's actually illegal, but no one seems to care). Many would rather have to deal with it, and have a place they can afford, than not.

I hadn't checked it out first. It had the toilet in the kitchen, and a tiny sink and shower room on the other side of the square that was this studio space. That was the only sink in the place. I was mortified, but it was super cheap, and I felt it was necessary so that I could look for a job in my field. 3-hour train rides between the a*s end of Queens into Manhattan and back weren't working. I NEVER prepared food in that kitchen. Thank goodness I didn't have to; I had a quick pick-up job at a restaurant while I looked for something else.
Thanks bored panda for all these inspiration, just so happens that I am in the process of remodeling my kitchen.
Which one of these “inspirations” have you decided to go with?
