Recently, there’s been a new fascination with questionable architecture and dubious interiors spreading around social media.

Combining an uncanny appeal with cringe, these monstrosities have gained almost a cult following, and Bored Panda covered quite a few of them: from ugly Belgian houses, ridiculous real estate photos, and homes that made people say ‘that’s it, I’m home shaming.’

This Instagram page titled ‘What the Crazy House’ follows the trend by sharing some of the most bizarre and insane house exteriors and interiors people spotted on real estate websites.

From over-the-top Zillow mansions to cheesy interiors, it will make you doubt everything from aesthetics to common sense. Scroll down below for the most wowza crazy houses shared on the page and be sure to upvote your favorites!

I would have planted trees around the perimeter so they can’t all look in to the house, and gives them something nicer to look at!

To find out more about the “What The Crazy House” project, Bored Panda reached out to the creator behind it, Robyn from Ohio. “I’m married with 2 kids and I work part time at a shoe store,” she told us. Robyn said that she has always loved to look at houses. Once, she saw a space bedroom which became her first post. “It was unbelievably wild and I thought that I see weird stuff in the houses I look at all the time.”

That’s how she came up with an idea to put them all in one place and start the page. “On a whim one day, I made Whatthecrazyhouse. I don’t even think I remember how I came up with the name! It was just a split moment decision,” the creator said and added that she started “What The House” back in February, 2019 but she really didn’t get a following until this past year.

When asked how she’d describe her audience, Robyn said that they’re like her: “fun and snarky.” She added: “I’m proud to say they are nice and funny. I’ve never had a fight break out. Everyone is just here to laugh and make fun of stuff in a lighthearted manner.” Robyn really loves this page and she is super proud to run it. “It’s all for fun!,” she said.

The creator said that she “hates '80s decor so she posts some of that.” “I am constantly seeing things I’ve never thought possible and that shock me. And then I think that someone did this… on purpose?! What?!!” she wondered.

We also asked Robyn what was the craziest house she has ever seen, and she said that “it’s a tie between the murder house and the cat poster house where cat pictures were EVERYWHERE. I mean it: they were all over the bathroom and kitchen and walls and ceiling. Just cats.”

When asked what could be the motives for why people design and build such crazy houses, Robyn said that this is how they express themselves or that they’re simply weird. “We are all a little weird, but sometimes things just go wacky and we get the wild things I post.”

As a temporary measure until a real tub is installed, I can see it. As long as it stays temporary.

-space reserved for stove, use microwave for now- (still the same, 10 yrs later... those "temporary" solutions often are temporary in a different measurement of time)

A large black cauldron, with a brew bubbling in it, being stirred by the Three Weird Sisters from MacBeth, would give the look some polish. Don’t you think?

Aside from some of the color schemes, it’s not half bad. Outside is really nice, though I’d go with pale blue or pale yellow instead of mint green.

I've seen the reverse of this too - where there is the air vent cover like this with just a hole through the wall behind it to another room (not leading to any ductwork).

Let me guess. The dishwasher was supposed to go in the space where the sink is, and the sink and its cabinet were supposed to be where the dishwasher is, only facing out to the middle of the kitchen. Only someone f****d up the plumbing connections and it was too late or too expensive to fix it. HAD to have been a DIY project.

What a badly designed kitchen! Make it cooker, drawers, cupboard, sink, and dishwasher. You wouldn't loose any work space, and would gain easier access to the window.

why is the sink so far forward of the dishwasher? There is a lot of room between it and the wall.

Can you imagine trying to retrieve a vagrant fork from the bottom of the dishwasher? You'd need to keep a small child on staff.

Unless the cabinetry and counters were pre-planned as removeable, the dishwasher can't be serviced.

With the obvious exception of folks who are disabled for whom a dishwasher is MUCH more than just a convenience - the lengths people go to make one of these fit into their kitchens is such a faff. We don't have them at all where I live. It just seems like a silly thing.

If I remember correctly from somewhere else in the internet, these are the sink in the Le Creuset head office (might be wrong though). But if that was the case, it's pretty neat idea.
