The very point of hiring a professional designer is to get the job done right. Or so we’d like to think. But it seems sometimes the best laid plans can go down the drain, along with your vision of the perfect execution. Fortunately, shaming bad designs has become a favorite pastime of the internet. From the crazy, to the confusing, the downright dangerous or just plain stupid, there’s no shortage of pics on the proverbial "Design Fails Wall of Shame".
If you’re looking for inspiration on what you probably don’t want around you, you should check out the Design Fails Insta account. It has hundreds of posts of epic interior design and architecture fails. Some might make you laugh, others could make you want to cry. Then there are those that just hurt your eyes.
We've put together our personal favorites. Keep scrolling for a feast of fabulous fails, and upvote the ones that leave you stunned. Don't miss the chat Bored Panda had with Eric Dillman, the interior designer behind the account, and the host of the Pro Series with Eric Dillman podcast.

If they smoke in the house long enough, the upper part of the curtains will take on that pukey orange hue as well.
The brains behind the Insta page is actually a qualified interior designer. Eric Dillman has a few social media accounts, and a podcast. Dillman got his Bachelor's degree in Interior Design from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. And started his first design account in 2018.
"I was a year into my career and due to being a very inexperienced designer I wasn’t getting the leads I wanted from the firm I was working at. So I decided to market myself and get my own leads," he told Bored Panda during our interview.
The designer said he started by reposting and giving shout-outs to his favorite brands and manufacturers. "After two weeks I hit my first customer from my Instagram account and after that it was full force posting almost everyday. I’ve done everything since, introduced my podcast, and so much more. It has allowed me to level up in my career in a way I didn’t think was possible."
Dillman's podcast “Pro Series with Eric Dillman” sees him interview professionals from the design, construction, and real estate industries, as well as stars from home design television shows.

He set up the the Design Fails Insta page in 2021. "Being in and out of customers homes for years I have seen some very questionable designs and construction. These 'Design Fails' are always a hit topic between design friends and we always share them with each other," said Dillman. "I post these bad designs on the page for other designers to enjoy."

Much like many of the rest of us, Dillman wasn’t expecting the events of 2020. On top of the disaster that was Covid, the content creator had to deal with his Instagram account being hacked. It was a turning point in his journey.
Dillman was working from home in June of 2020, when he got an email saying his orginal account was hacked. He had around 15,000 followers at the time. At first, he thought it was a joke but soon realized the gravity of the situation. After an uphill battle to get his account back, he eventually hired someone to help him.

Up until then, he hadn’t really featured on his own podcast. It was merely professionals answering the questions he put to them. Dillman discussed his turning point during an interview with Bold Journey. “Once 2020 came, I knew I needed to put myself more on my content,” he revealed. He decided to turn his podcast into an IGTV show, and released a new episode every few weeks.
“I was lucky enough to have a lot of HGTV stars, and some very high up people in the design industry on in the very early days of this show. At the end of 2021 I had some requests to make this into a podcast given its already in that format,” he said.

This is why you do not mix your hallucinogenics, before doing construction work. Preferably, you just forego them all together, until the work is completed.
Dillman has continued to push himself and branch out. In 2023, he added a second episode of the week called “Off Topic”. As the name suggests, the host talks tackles topics that aren't related to design. In June this year, Dillman hit 100,000 "listens".
He told Bored Panda while he has other interests, he's been obsessed with all things design since he was a child. "It all stems from my parents custom-building the house I grew up in when I was 8. Going to all the showrooms and seeing the house go from ground up just made me fall in love with the industry at a very young age."

I actually read it the way they meant it to be read, but the caption could be worse. They designers could have reversed the signs.
The interior designer and content creator describes himself as an introvert. He says social media has helped him come out of his shell. And has given him a much-needed confidence boost. Since his one page showcases design fails, we were curious to know if Dillman has any flops of his own.
"I’m a designer who likes to give my professional advice but there are some clients that want it exactly their way," he revealed. "It’s hard to work for those clients cause you know it isn’t functional design but you do it for the client cause it’s their money and space. Those are usually the ones I just doesn't photograph."

Giraffy Window 1 year ago
Oh my land if that's not vinyl rollout "tile"... Then these People ran out of ideas for what to do with a lot if money...
So what screams epic design fail to the brains behind this Insta account? "I feel like with home renovation shows being so popular, it has taught people that anyone can do these designs and renovations," said Dillman.
"You can tell when a designer does it, compared to someone who thinks they can do it because they saw someone on tv do it. Most of the time it’s not functional at all, doesn’t go with the rest of the house, or the materials used are completely wrong and aren’t used properly."
But at the end of the day, we should probably still thank those who "think they can do it". If it weren'y for them, we'd never get to enjoy the epic and hilarious design fails featured here.

Nevermind all the cuts but isn't this supposed to be baseboard? Shouldn't that wood be flush against the wall, so the thin part, the approximately half an inch or 1.25cm should be flush to the floor and the wider part should be flush to the wall?

this is trim around a wood floor so you do not see the gaps where it butts up against the wall. It is very poorly done.

Looking at the picture, the bubble wrap on the oven door handle indicates that the oven is just sitting there, waiting to be installed against the wall. UNTIL you notice the vent hood directly over it.
FoxEcoLimaIndiaCharlieIndiAlfa 1 year ago (edited)
Are we sure this isn't AI? If you look at those stupid overhead cabinets above the fridge and behind the hood vent, it appears as though they are attached to a curved wall opening. Which then extends diagonally from the corner of the kitchen where the fridge is to the far opposite corner in the living room?? Maybe I'm just not seeing it correctly? Any other thoughts or ideas are appreciated. ETA- there also seems to be a floor heating vent in the middle of the room, which looks so out of place especially since it's colored white and not a shade of brown to better blend in with the flooring.

Possibly mining subsistence. I live in an ex-mining area and this is a common problem with buildings above old tunnels.

It's important to know the difference between a 'tread' and a 'riser'. In the UK, the tread must be 22-30cm, the riser, 15-22cm, and the angle of the stairs can't be greater than 42 degrees. Perhaps, just perhaps, um, definitely, these stairs have been installed the wrong way around. The bottom riser should have been the top tread.

My father built our house (he was a bricklayer by trade) in 1975-6. The bathroom was carpeted. My SIL looked at it in horror when she and my brother moved into the house after our parents died. It was soon replaced with very nice tiles. But our work bathroom was carpeted also. Like, inside the stalls. Also got replaced with tiles. Thinking about it now... ew.

A neighbour of mine back in the '70s told us that he'd fitted a sunken bath while redecorating. We went for a look and he was so proud of his a low-sitting bath with stepped panels up to it, and I admit it looked good. Then we went downstairs to the kitchen for a cuppa, and that's when I lost it. His 'sunken' bath was one of the old claw-foot cast iron jobs. To lower it, he'd cut a bath-shaped hole from the floorboards, knocked four holes in the kitchen ceiling, and sat the bath directly on the wooden joists with the bottom couple of inches of the legs sticking through the holes into the kitchen. To finish, he'd attached hooks to the bath's feet and hung pans from them.

The first house I bought back in the late 90s had a fully carpeted bathroom, it ran all the way around the corner bath that was big enough for two people, my partner and I considered keeping the bath until we used it a couple of times, it took an age to fill and the combi boiler had to work overtime. So wet carpet and big gas bill…. that bathroom soon got ripped out and restyled, bigger, shower cubicle, a smaller bath, underfloor heating and no carpet!

My first apartment had a carpeted bathroom. Shag carpet. Actually, when we first viewed it, the whole.place was wall-to-wall carpet.
