Hey Pandas, What’s Something About Your Home That Just Doesn’t Make Sense? (Closed)
Ever walk around your home and think, “Why is this like that?” Maybe there’s a door that opens into a wall, a closet too small to store anything useful, or a vent that blows cold air all winter. Every house has its oddities — those little design choices or architectural quirks that just don’t make sense.
So, Pandas, now it’s your turn: What’s the one thing about your home that baffles you every time you see it? Big or small, practical or just plain weird — we want to hear about it!

My apartment has a spacious hall closet, double sliding door, about five feet wide by three feet deep and full ceiling height, but no shelf across the upper part; just completely wasted space. Except, I think I can now store my second bicycle in there if I just rearrange things a bit.
A 180 square meters of living space, but the only bathroom, including shower, toilet, sink and laundry machine, were in this little, 5 square meter 'closet' under the stairs, where you almost had to sit on the toilet to take a shower. Oh yeah, and from the main door, you had to go through the hall into what had to be a storage room, turn left into the side-kitchen, move on into the 'dining room,' then again turn left to finally reach the living room. And the real kitchen could be entered through a little 65 cm doorway, was about another 5 square meters and contained the sink, stove and dishwasher. 7 years and a lot of blood, sweat and tears later, we have a decent bathroom upstairs, a good kitchen where the side-kitchen used to be, a laundry-room with extra toilet where the storage room used to be and, oh yes, you can now go from the hallway straight into the living room. What used to be the 5 sqm kitchen is now being turned into a little veranda with a great view on the lake.
Oh, being on the lake is worth it! I miss my lake house.
