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.

One step closer to the mother nature
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.”

Cool! I can't help but picture Dracula raising out of bed, gliding across the floor to the tank, and tapping on the glass saying "Fishy fishy fishy!"

Love the aquarium though I would have it standing at the end of the bed. Hope it's stable and easily movable too.

My gothic dream house. Not really under the sea themed, definitely more gothic. And I mean like actual gothic, not teen angst goth.

It looks pretty, but I have a fish tank. Let me tell you: that fish tank would be impossible to clean.

The size of the furniture compared to the ceiling height is really not working. And I don't doubt the rest of the room is too small. Furnishings like that really need a huge space, like something you'd find in a castle, or a loft. I don't hate the furniture, just the location. I'll bet that aquarium is a pain to clean.

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.

Looks like this would be uncomfortable. Bring cushions. Better yet, throw the cushions on the floor and sit there.

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!

Most were okay and some even amazing in my opinion; others were fetish style and therefore also do not belong on this list - my best guess would be that BP wanted to show the pictures but had no idea for a fitting title...

Most of these were great. Did I miss something? Like, the obvious adult toy ones aren't my thing, but a lot of these are colorful, fun, well done, and interesting. Have things become so gray out there that anything fun is now "bad"? Dare to be a little weird.
