It’s a common photo in many cafes and shops and Airbnbs.
Load More Replies...With so many home design ideas, from the interior to decor, surfing around the internet, it may be absolutely overwhelming to choose what’s right for your home. After all, nobody wants to get their house repainted or have their new furniture going redundant just because they didn’t think it through in the first place.

Honestly suspect this wasn't a design choice. They just didn't have anywhere else to store the piano! Not like you could reach it to play while taking a dump...

Load More Replies...So in order to find out what common mistakes are best avoided when designing your dream home, we talked to Nisha Vaidya, a personal finance editor at Money.co.uk, who shared some useful tips on how not to waste your time, energy, and money on something you’ll regret.
“From a practical perspective, consider your budget and skillset before beginning any challenging projects,” Nisha said and added that fixing structural issues will likely take longer and cost a lot more in the long term than initially paying for an expert tradesperson to complete the job in the first place.“Secondly, measure, measure and measure again—having a rug that's off center or a sofa that doesn't quite fit can turn a relaxing space into a bugbear for the eagle-eyed amongst you.”
Good For Dexter Finally Putting Down Roots And Making Himself A Proper Kill Room
Someone gravely misunderstood the owners when they said they wanted ceiling tiles… Wouldn’t those tiles be way too heavy to have hanging above your head? You know, while you sleep. If you CAN sleep, that is. I mean, I worry when there’s a really large, really heavily framed picture ha ing on the wall above the headboard.
I swear this could be the house I toured in the late 1990s that had tiles walls and ceiling, cement floor with a drain and weird wall hookups for water/hose. At the back of the 1400 sq ft house like a sunroom but fully hose-down-able. We asked wtf and the realtor said it was for the previous owner's monkeys.

I was thinking horse wash rack, dog grooming or art studio.

Who thought of this and said "yeah.. f@cking great idea!"??? I really wanna know!
“Additionally, a common interior design mistake is overdoing current trends or favorite pieces,” Nisha warned. “Most interior designers will promote a mixture of furniture types and styles and steer away from homogenous products. If you enjoy a certain interior trend (e.g. paneling), be sure to make this a focal point in your home and steer away from using the feature in every space, as this will dilute its effect.”

Actually, for making use of a small space, it's kind of creative....
If you feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of design ideas on the internet, Nisha reminds that choosing what you want for your home ultimately comes down to your personal choice. “If you love an interior design trend, hunt for ways you can incorporate it into your home.”
However, it’s always smart to think about the cost, practicality and the space you have available, she suggests. “For example, if you have a small galley kitchen but are desperate for a kitchen island and entertainment space, you may have to rethink how practical and doable it will be.”
Luxury Is A Built-In Hallway Microwave

I know I will get downvoted for this, but I think this is quite sexist. A male could be any colour other than blueing not just a ‘boy’ colour. A female shouldn’t be recognised as pink because there a girl. I, for instance, like the colour pink and i’m A male. I know some female friends who like blue. Whether this is made for this pic or not, I don’t believe this is a good idea.
Why would you get downvoted? Frankly, My Dear, I don't GIVE a damn!

That thing is called a conversation-pit? In a BATHROOM? What kind of conversation would we be having in the bathroom? "Do you prefer me to step in first or do you want to do the honors?"
Load More Replies...But where is the toilet?? And is that ceiling sloped? Is that really a tiny built in old tv from the 70's? Why not just prop a big flat screen up on that shelf? Rip that little tv out and make that spot into a nook to hold the First Aid kit you are going to need?
I have so many questions. Why is there a roll of toilet paper in a bowl on the floor on the right side? Does the fire place work? Is this technically 2 bathroom? It has 2 tubs but they only seem accessible from their respective sides. Why is the window cut in half by a shelf?
Pretty sure there is only one tub too. The other looks just like a sunken floor space which was very 1970s or early 1980s

No One Is This In Love
It's not about love. It's about convenience and knowing each other well.... Too well sometimes.
You'd be surprised. My parents once invited over a couple they didn't know that well and they just casually went to the bathroom together, each time. Were even telling everyone else that this was the best way, everyone should do it, it was a way for a couple to bond etc. Yeah, they were never invited again.
That would explain why only one of them gets toilet paper.
Load More Replies...Kids. Always seem to remember they need the loo just as you sit down...
If you gotta have two in the same room, at least make a token effort to provide some privacy.
I don't mind this. Beats the "Hurry upppppp.... I really need to go." as soon as you set your tushy down. I swear there's a alarm switch under my toilet seat that alerts whole house it's time to go as soon as I sit.
They just haven't installed the stall dividers yet. You can see they are not quite finished, that bucket there...
Clearly this renovation is not done yet (notice the paint bucket?) There's enough space for a satin glass subdivision, which is done the last thing.

By The Light Of The Mac And Cheese Lantern...
I've seen this before in 1970s kitchens. It wasn't intended for there to be a lantern there, but there used to be floating cabinets over the peninsula, which were supported by a post. Those cabinets are very annoying, but if you remove them, the 4x4 hole in the countertop from the post remains... Fitting a lantern to the remains of the post is the simplest, least expensive solution.
It seems like cutting it off flush would be the simplest, least expensive solution, with the added benefit of not having a street lamp in your kitchen.

I was in a house the other day and the owner boasted about having installed the bathroom and the door was just like this! They could have arranged the suite differently, or used a sliding/folding/concertina door, but no, they cut a 'toilet shaped' hole in the door (with astonishing accuracy!). No modesty flap though...!
Depending on what's on the other side, you may be able to just change out the door jamb and put in a door that opens out.
Load More Replies...After my toilet's tank suddenly broke in my rental apartment, I now understand what could be one of the reasons that can lead to this. Our apartment building is old (circa 80s) so the original toilet we had is not made anymore. When ours busted, our landlord said the smallest he could find that would fit in the restroom was a toiled one size above a kiddy one (you know, the ones they use at day cares for the little ones lol) the current standard toilet was not going to fit and the door was not going to close. Long sorry short, we have a smaller than a standard toilet XD we just had to replace the seat with a "normal" one to avoid having to cut the door hahaha
So can't get a sliding door, or a folding one, or a concertina version? I'd be inclined to insist on a new, correct sized lavatory!
Load More Replies...Shouldn't all bathroom doors open outwards anyway? It's where the room where most fall accidents happen and you don't want a/your body blocking the door. And if its just a toilet, well sick people still need to use it and can faint/fall unconscious there too.
It's not even a code requirement for commercial restrooms, at least in Texas. Reversing the door swing probably would have been a good solution in this situation, but that would require... you know... a little bit more work.
Load More Replies...What an absolute codge job. They could have easily put a hinged section in the bottom with a bolt on it to keep it closed. /s
This seems like an excellent opportunity to use a saloon-door hinge that swings both ways and closes itself.

Would be pretty nice without the effing message. Why do people feel the need to do crap like this? It doesn’t enhance, it cheapens. This decor is called Early American or Colonial. It was exceedingly popular post-WWII, when my parents were buying furniture to set up their first house after my father got out of the army (my mother was thrilled to be out of the MOQ). So my brothers and I grew up with this kind of interior and furnishings. In fact, a lot of it is in my house right now. When my father died (he survived my mother by ten years), my brothers and I inherited several pieces. I got the most furniture, as my sisters-in-law weren’t into the style, and I was newly married and finally had a house instead of a one bedroom apartment to furnish. My brothers were more into other items, such as the antique guns, etc, so got those.
This COULD be a nice nook, if you get rid of the message/gun/ornaments/paintings, (I'd choose different decor here) fill those shelves with books, put down a nice rug to offset all the wood colour, and get a much comfier chair.
But you can't sit by it because we take the chairs away when guests come over.

My only problem with this is the color. Geodesic homes are neat... also very space efficient. The angles aren't that much of a problem because, you know, math... the same thing you have to use to build an bland, ordinary home with 90° walls. Hooray for Bucky Fuller.

There’s an old saying, “Don’t s**t where you eat”, that I think is quite apropos here.
I would surmise that it's a vent. When dishwashers are installed next to a sink, they share the same vent as the sink does. When installed separately, they require their own trap and vent. In some jurisdictions you can use an 'air admittance valve' instead of a proper vent, but they are not permitted everywhere. It's definitely not a soil pipe because it isn't large enough. Assuming those are 4" tiles that's a 2" nominal pipe, and could be a sink or tub, but more likely a vent.
Load More Replies...Nothing To See Here
As a DIYer, I'm really surprised that no trim manufacturer has come out with quarter round corner pieces. Unless you have a nice powered trim saw, cutting them by hand with a miter box is a pain as the angles never come out right.
In Unit Laundry Though!!!
If you spill something on your clothes while cooking just throw it in the wash to pre-soak.
At least it’s not a front-loading washer. However, crowding it right up against the stove scares me. They could’ve put it where the fridge is, and put the fridge—-turned out into the room—-where the apartment-sized washer-dryer is. Makes more sense to have the food next to where it gets cooked anyway. The second sink makes no sense, and uses up what little counter space there is. They could’ve fit a small microwave there.
That Open Concept Living Tho!
It took a clever cabinet maker with good math skills to figure that layout out. Not too bad!
No exhaust vent over the stove? We are okay with circulating the grease with the wrong kind of fan instead?

Someone was clever and talented and made this. I don't like it, but I can respect the effort.
I have a friend who loves VWs enough for this. I fear there's beautiful wood under that paint ...
Is This A V8 Commercial?
Yes, but your part will.always be straight!

That pole is hiding the electronic wiring for that cooktop. That IS a cooktop, isn't it? Next to the sink?
Man: I need a woman who’s kinda raunchy in the bedroom and can cook. Designer: Done
Some of these had me laughing to tears, spitting my coffee and snorting. Great job
I can say from experience, sometimes you're trying to put an updated kitchen or bathroom in an old house, and you run into issues because the space wasn't originally designed to accommodate today's standard sizes of cabinets, appliances, doors, etc. If you can afford to have things made custom, you can usually find a good creative workaround. But if you've hired a budget contractor who is installing pre-fab stuff, they usually go for the cheapest, fastest way to get it done. So you end up with support posts in awkward spots, odd gaps, things not properly centered, etc.
Imagine this is all in one big haunted house. I'm going to have to watch a Disney movie after seeing this. I may never sleep again....
Poor, I like the way you think. Imma add in some of those continuous pools, awkward balustrades, and weird decor.

So with that in mind, a shout out to each and everyone of these people that created something to pass time. As I to am passing time looking at these fascinating things. :)
I found these hard to look at, gonna shut down and walk away for a while.
