45 Terrible Modern Home Design Trends That People Just Don’t Understand

Allegedly the first US ambassador to Britain had a picture of George Washington in the loo. When asked by British visitors whether he disliked Washington to put his portrait there he said : no, he was but in my experience General Washington improves the ability of English men to relieve themselves.

Mine says, "No Dumping Over 500Lbs"

I have a sign in my bathroom that says "Life's to short, lick the bowl" its meant for the kitchen

snickers, sighs and facepalms

i put one of those 'no summoning demons in the bathroom' in mine

okay that's hilarious

Want!!!!!😂😂😂

I once saw a sign that said "Life is short. Lick the bowl" over a TOILET

I don’t get it….

Lol. When my wife drags me into a Hobby Lobby I always look at the signs and imagine them hanging over my toilet.

I used to have a picture of Elvis Presley over my toilet.

The sign in my bathroom says "Make It Happen!" XD

I have a sign above my toilet saying "Please don't do coke in the bathroom."

My daughter has a sign in her bathroom that has a 5/5 star rating & says “Would definitely poop here again”

Change it to "Don't forget to lick the bowl"

Same as my place. Made with local Canadian bricks and was painted when I bought. Would love to have been able to sandblast it but the brick is way too soft

But you could paint it ANY OTHER COLOR than concrete.

That is cool, but they could seal it up with some brighter colors

My home was 1890s Denver red brick. Beautiful, but not modern brick by any means. You could scratch it with your fingernail. If it weren't for the paint, the house would have crumbled long ago.

Oh that's why our buildings are so bland.

That is really interesting!

You have to make sure it's usable with brick--otherwise the brick can't breathe and you have to remove it

Learn something new every day!

The moisture comes from inside the building as vapour. As it travelsthrough the brick and cools it condenses. In cold Canada it then freezes and causes the brick to spall. Never paint exterior brick in cold Canada.

People paint their houses here in Phoenix, AZ, too, and believe me...we do not have your weather lol

But GREY? There's brick-colored paint...I know it wouldn't look as nice as the naked brick, but it'd have to look better than grey!

Thanks, I didn't know that. My former husband used to tell me that if you painted the bricks they couldn't breathe.

"And, just WHAT are you going to be using this for... sir?"

That's hilarious. I hope he likes coming home to pink.

I think there are lots of beautiful painted brick buildings! I also don't love the red brick everywhere... I understand why people appreciate it but I don't think every building needs to be red brick. Sorry, not sorry!

Yet these kind of décor choices wind up on this site under the heading of 'Interior disasters that make you cringe' and everyone says how awful they are, lol.

My bedroom as a teenager was awful. I had a cast iron bed that looked like it hadn't been cared for since the 1800s, the ugliest little ornaments sititng on my shelf, music stands chucked in the corner, I covered my wardrobe door in paper butterflies and strung up strings of them, had random posters of greek statues, flowers, bicycles, etc, that I printed on my school printer, I had a cork board that had bowling scores, performance tickets, pressed flowers, a random bag made out of a pretty tea towel, I even painted a meme on a canvas. But I loved it. It was chaos, but it suited me.

We had a realtor tell us to paint over a mural we painted for our son's room when we sold a place. Basically we said "naw, we think the buyer can decide on that". Our current home we bought -despite- being bland, not because it (it has lots of bathrooms, totally worth it).

But boy, it sure is easy to keep clean.

day!, I guess it depends on the personality of the owner. You know - you say "to-MAY-to" and I say "to - MAH -to"

in an alcove, bookshelves... I'm not proving you wrong I'm just saying

I recently got an apartment like that, so I had the kitchen repainted a warm pale taupe and the cabinets walnut brown. It feels warmer that way.

I like comfy but also dont like a bunch of knick knacks and things crammed in. Just clean and minimal yet comfy.

The maximalism trend is just horrendous. Too much stuff going on to cover a thin veneer of (artificial) personality. The style in the image above makes no such presumptions.

Plus you can go crazy with decorations for different seasons and it won’t clash with anything, I love it, and you can have colorful figures or collections that are emphasized because of they grey around it

Minimal, hard edges make my soul die and I weep for the souls of all humanity. Bring back the Victorians.

Ha, I knew it!!!

I once saw a front door mat that said “Live, Laugh, Leave.” Much better, right? 😊

Would you like one that said HATE, CRY, DIE?

Seconded!

Hate it with a possum.

Agreed
