35 Reasons “You Should Have Hired An Architect” Shared By This Facebook Group (New Pics)
Human creativity knows no bounds, though that doesn’t mean every idea that crosses our minds is worthy of implementation. Sure, it’s hard to deny that taste is a matter of preference — what is stylish to one person may look completely threatening to another! But when it comes to homes and interiors, there are some pretty terrible design solutions out there that are not just asking to be judged, they are almost begging for it.
Well, we’re certainly not ones to pass up an opportunity to poke fun at tasteless decisions and, hopefully, learn something new along the way. So let us introduce you to the aptly titled 'You Should Have Hired An Architect' Facebook group. Members of this community set out on a mission to showcase architectural flaws that prove some people should leave building houses from the ground up to the professionals.
We have scoured the group and gathered some of the wildest and most jaw-droppingly awful examples it had to offer. So continue scrolling, upvote the ones you enjoyed laughing at most, and tell us what you think about them in the comments! After you’re done with this list, be sure to check out Part 1 of this feature right here.

Just... Why?
Robert T 4 years ago (edited)
There is likely a staircase beyond the door and they probably decided it was safer to not have a step immediately outside the door. It is quite common in older houses in the UK to have stairs with a small landing that goes both ways at the top, and to reduce the angle of the staircase they put a couple of steps in each direction at the top. My great-aunt had a bathroom that you got to like that - down two steps, then immediately up two again - just make sure you had some form of light if you have a call of nature during the night!
