Come on, i would love this as a kid, c**p i want one now, and i'm in my 40s
Bored Panda reached out to Katia Tolstykh, a Berlin-based interior and furniture designer, co-founder of OddinShape studio, and the creator behind the Sorry For Design Instagram account. Today, Tolstykh has 9 years of experience in design. In 2020, she along with her husband founded Odd In Shape, a multi-disciplinary design studio that works mainly in digital art, dreamscape interiors, and furniture design.
Tolstykh told us that Sorry For Design was created as a source of inspiration and fun. “Instagram, Pinterest, and other resources focus on beautiful and professional products, while a massive number of things made by non-professionals are left out of the equation,” Tolstykh explained.

I need this in my life ( but then again i also fell in love for a bright yellow lamp that was preety much the body of a big dog sitting and the head was the " Pixar " lamp ). Dont judge me lol, i know i'm wierd.

No, you don't, trust me. Clear resin turns yellow with time, it gets stained with the oils and fats used in the kitchen and scratches quite easily. It will be awful in a few months time and you will regret not using tiles.

Now imagine yourself walking barefoot on this floor and stepping on even a drop of water that has fallen on it. Looking at that shiny layer, it seems slippery as hell...

Aside from the reflection on the floor, and the fact that my brain yells about the chair being in the path, this doesn't look half bad. Might be a bit of a slip hazard, though?

Actually rather like this one. It's not REAL grass, as you can tell from the shine.

I think it's cool. Especially for a workplace employee room. Kind of gives a good mental break if you can't get outside during the work day.

Are you drunk now? It's grass and a stone walkway, what part of that makes you feel like you would drown, or think that if you were drunk you'd drown? I'm confused, maybe I'm drunk!? 😆

So far, everything has been amazing, except the pink sofa. In dark chocolate it would also be wonderful. Thought these were supposed to be dreadful!

The floor itself is kinda cool but I think you'd have to pair it with the right kinda interior to actually make it work. And this particular picture with it incredibly dull coloured furniture, vending machine and those awful looking chairs really isn't it.

I like the others but this is kinda tacky. It would look better if they had wooden cabinets and such...but by itself is bad

This isn't someone's home, this looks like a break room (coffee vending machine?)
Bad Alchemy 3 years ago
I'm assuming this is some commercial space, given that there's a coffee(?) vending machine. The rest of it is really boring and ugly; the floor treatment is really creative and takes your eyes off of how awful the rest of it is.
Hill Branda 3 years ago
This looks like a company break room. How will the floor look after coffee and greasy food get spilled on it?
Louloubelle 3 years ago
All I can think of here is - I'd spill and end up slipping. Other than that, kind of cool.

Didn’t put enough effort into making it look real. Looks like a mini golf hazard.
According to the interior and furniture designers, they may be funny, vulgar, naive, or disgusting, but they are all worthy of attention. “My account is a collection of projects by notable designers, and by ordinary people. All these projects are done with soul,” Tolstykh said.
When it comes to eccentric and unusual design, Tolstykh believes that it not only catches the eye but also “cheers people up.” Moreover, “everyone has their own reasons to like this design. It's hard to speak for everyone,” she said.

Oooh, definitely. This would go down so well in many horsey places. I can just see people sitting on this bench to try on new riding roots. (Ooops, Iconic is correct, I meant 'boots', not 'roots'.)
Moreover, the examples shared on Sorry For Design, Tolstykh argues, are really more about art and flamboyance than functional furniture. “They’re about the search for new forms, about scandal, about the rejection of common notions, about the expansion of the boundaries of the permitted and the familiar,” she explained and added that “This is art.”

In many ways, interior design is no different than fashion. It has its own trends, styles that change with years, seasons and people’s lifestyles. Various external influences are also to blame for fleeting interior design styles, social change and technological advancement included.
Previously, our fellow Bored Panda writer Rokas spoke with an interior architect and lecturer at Vilnius College of Design named Judita Striukienė. According to her, nowadays eclectic solutions are on the rise; it's really popular to combine different interior design styles

That feeling when you're being interrogated under a bare lightbulb, but your interrogators got really cute with the decor.
"In fact, it's quite rare to discover a place that is true to just one school. When you say a home was designed according to a certain style, you usually mean that some elements have an advantage in that place over the others or there is some sort of leitmotif throughout the entire space," the interior architect told Bored Panda.
On the other hand, there exist main aspects of good interior design that defy time and trends. According to Striukienė, living spaces have to be functional. Everything else is more or less decor, creating a certain mood," she said.

This is why many interior designers start the design procedure by getting to really know the person or family who are going to live in a particular space. Their lifestyles, preferences, likes and dislikes all make up the end interior the designer comes up with.
Although most people would agree on what they call a bad or a good interior, that doesn’t mean that tacky and eccentric interiors don’t find their audience. On the contrary, it's no secret that the internet has been fascinated with quirky interiors, bizarre furniture, crazy McMansions and everything in between.
These unusual spaces seem to both transgress universal aesthetics on what we consider appealing and common sense, and show that there can also be no rules whatsoever.

Some of these are abominations (pig couch and human chairs, looking at you), but most of the rest are charming, clever, and quirky. Maybe we can stop shaming anything a little different? Not everyone is going for understated and tasteful. Some of us just want to have a little fun!
