Good design is all about putting the user first. If the customer can’t make sense of the design and if their every single move is impeded by the bad decisions that the designers and builders made—we’ve got a serious problem. Sometimes these problems all come down to bad craftsmanship, shoddy design, and unaesthetic, hurried, and impractical shortcuts that builders take without a care in the world.

The ‘Typical Rykozhop’ Instagram page documents how some homeowners have to live with utterly ugly, just plain bad, and downright dangerous interior design decisions. Scroll down to see the best of the worst, upvote the pics you wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole, and let us know in the comments if there’s anything similar in your own homes, dear Pandas.

Bored Panda reached out to Tim Antoniuk, an Associate Professor of Design Studies at the University of Alberta, to hear his take about where most of the responsibility falls, whether on the designer in charge of the vision or the builders who turn it into reality. Antoniuk explained that it's up to the designer to ensure that their project (which means their client's project) turns out well. The focus should be on the clarity of the designs so that the intent is communicated without any 'fuzziness.' "Certainly, this is frustrating and it puts extra pressure on the designer, but everything, in my view, rests in the designer's hand. This is why some of the most outstanding designers in the world have such a deep knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, of the problems that can happen during installation."

    You jest, but that's what wardrobes or garderobes were - the privy where you also hung your clothes, because it was thought the ammonia smell would keep moths and fleas away. It's why "cloakroom" is another word for toilet.

    I'd like to see the engineering design sign-off before sitting there, it's hard to tell just by looking if it's safe. I see several pieces that may be under bending stress, and thin-wall square tubing may not be strong enough. It's possible that the curved bottom support takes most of the stress in compression, but I'd like to know that someone who knows what he's doing designed it. I'd feel better if it even had a couple cables from the top of the bench back anchored to the concrete above.

    Antoniuk said that it's the designer who has to provide clarity and foresee at least some of the possible issues when it comes to the actual building and the interior design: "It's hard, but that's why the best designers get paid so well for their outstanding work. They do great design/aesthetic work, but they also create efficiencies and they foresee and spot (some) problems from happening." 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The Associate Professor highlighted that some things will go wrong, no matter how much we plan for them. What's more, the builders have to be on the designer's side, too, but the latter still shoulders most of the burden. "Many jobs can not just stop because a designer is not onsite or is not able to be reached. That said, builders need to honor the designer's vision, but again, if there is 'fuzziness' in the drawings or plans, decisions will be made by people that we may not want to make them."

    On a very practical level, ensuring that builders follow through with the designer's vision comes down to communication, doing "great drawings and visuals," and becoming "exceptionally well educated" in the field of construction. "We exist in a field that is ever-changing with the introduction of new materials, new construction requirements, and restrictions," Antoniuk said.

    He also stressed the importance of creating honest relationships based on mutual respect. "It is simple to say, but communication and having an outstanding relationship with the builder is critically important. At 'Architure,' we constantly visit and hang-out with the Trades. We like to talk with the people that have 'boots-on-the-ground.' These are the people that are literally building our products and spaces. If you piss these guys off, treat them poorly, or don't communicate well, they can ruin a project. It may sound flippant, but we see these people as our partners."

    In a previous interview with Bored Panda, Antoniuk also spoke about the differences between good and bad design. He said that there are, objectively, such things as good and bad interior and furniture design decisions—it’s not just about our subjective tastes.

    However, our tastes are important, too, as they can create gray and blurry areas between what’s considered to be quality and, well, not. Though, I think, hardly anyone would mix up anything shown in this list with something that’s tasteful.

    Well.... they probably had no other space to put the washing machine. Not everyone can afford a bis apartment or house. The washing machine has to go where the water is. Thats either the kitchen or the washroom. The kitchen was probably even smaller, so they had only this option or no washing machine and all, because I bet they could not afford a new smaller one. What would you have done?

    That's what I was thinking, altho I've seen old Victorian houses here in the U.S. chopped up into studio apartments with everything crammed in almost as badly. I even lived in one decades ago, but not nearly as bad as some of these!

    In Antoniuk’s opinion, we can all intuitively sense what good design is and isn’t. "Quite often, this relates to ergonomics and the usability or functionality of the products and services and systems. Having said that, I think far too many people expect poor design that doesn’t really work well," he said.

    It’s not all just doom and gloom, however. Antoniuk highlighted that creating high-quality design that is objectively good is a skill that can be learned; just like people can learn the wrong skills and make bad design decisions. Naturally, this suggests that we have to unlearn bad skills before learning the right ones.

    For Antoniuk, good design is “intuitive, [...] deeply sympathetic and empathetic to the user at all levels, and at some level, it is emotional,” just like Dieter Rams laid out in his principles of good design. “It is a catalyst for giving us feelings,” Antoniuk said about design.

    In old houses in colder climates you see this, a big door (for moving furniture), a smaller door for humans (and pets), so not all cold escapes. The smaller door was broken, they put in a new smaller door, with new frame. The frame is foamed shut against cold air. Not the small door itself.

    They wanted to replace the door, however that is a stupid ideea. The original doors were perfect, most likely made from really good wood, to have new doors made in those dimensions is expensive so they chose to do this atrocity. Ruined it for nothing

    To me it looks like someone kicked in the original door. That is why it's laid up against the wall with boards placed on it, to patch it up, but it didn't work out well. Neither did the 'new' door, haha.

    My guess: Look at the original doors. Clearly they are OLD and quite tall. Each side opens. There are hinges on both sides, meaning they opened in the middle. Someone has kicked in one side of that old door. See the wood and patch job? Even the latch part is all busted. So they clearly needed a new door, but could not find original tall double hung doors. A regular door would never fit. So they did a horrible job and made a door fit in there. It looks awful. Really awful.

    This would actually work fine, and since those screws are stronger with a shear force like that than if that piece were oriented in it's "correct" orientation where they'd be receiving pulling force... this is likely a stronger lock than if it were mounted in the intended orientation.

    The previous owners of our house did something similar. They ran an extension cord through the wall and wired it to the outlet. Took a while for my husband to figure out why his computer kept crashing.

    I've seen this before -- in a house that had "in-wall TV power" - the other end of the cord went up inside the wall to the TV. Very non-code compliant and unsafe, but not the worst bad wiring I've seen in a house.

    The blue cylinders are a two-stage filter (likely a sediment filter, and a second for removing iron), the horizontal item in the rear in the utility water meter, and a hot-water tank to the right. As far as 'why' it was installed in this manner... I have absolutely no idea.

    Something tells me a "Goofer" (someone who claims to know how to roof...but doesn't) nailed the underlayment way too close into the valley and perhaps nailed the tile instead of using ties in this area. Automatic leaking roof. And looking at it, apparently this is the second layer...the first didn't work well enough...by looking at that flashing, its still not going to work.

    This is what happens when A). You hire someone who calls themselves a 'handyman' or B). You don't have the funds to hire a professional and think it should be easy to DIY. Edit: No disrespect to handyman-they are many who know what they are doing but anyone can call themselves a handyman so beware.

    In the UK, as in many countries I expect, you pick someone by looking them up via their trade body. For gas it has to be Gas Safe but for electrical work it can be NICEIC, NAPIT etc and the companies monitor the work and training standards of their members. There are similar for roofers and tilers. Recommendations can be good if the person knows how to judge the work done - tiling is usually obvious but things like electrical work and plumbing bar 'it works and looks okay' people often don't know if it meets building regulations. So the moral of the tale is use trade bodies to source your tradesperson if your country has them.

    To be fair, it IS a room with odd shapes along the walls. Maybe smaller tiles would’ve worked better—-given more possibilities of workarounds for those weird angles, maybe? Oh, AND better measuring and planning before you started laying them?

    I can kind of see why they did this, would have been super expensive to move the drain if that's a concrete floor, but why didn't they put the toilet where the sink is and have it drain directly into the floor drain, and then put the sink where the toilet is? Would have had to squeeze by the toiilet to get to the sink, but seems better than the current layout. Or they could have gotten one of those toilets with a sink built in on top of the tank.

    This is done right. The triangle shapes allow the tiles to be angled slightly, subtly towards the drain, meaning it drains effectively. It's a very neat and sensible job IMO. Otherwise it wouldn't drain as nicely, you'd have more standing water.

    That’s the wrong tile selection for the shower floor. Should be smaller 2” or 1” slip-resistant flooring tile that can better accommodate the drainage contours.

    Why do people think this is disgusting? You wash you hands with clean water, it's not like the sink is under the urinal. It's a great way to recycle water. The fact we (/most countries) flush our toilets with sparkling clean drinking water is idiotic.

    This is not how you connect pipes. You either solder them or, as in this case, you use compression fittings. Be prepared for a water ballet in the near future because these hose clamps will come loose due to the water pressure.

    I wouldn’t classify this as problematic. Many tiny homes and RV used this combination or something similar in the bathroom. Hell, some don’t even have a shower stall or tub. It’s just a room with a toilet, a shower head, and a drain in the floor.

    I don't see the problem with toilet paper - not too far. Amazing thing is the height of the toilet seat or rather the lack of height. But in recent years there have been talk about how pooing while squatting is healthier than when sitting. Still, when squatting, there isn't enough room for both legs... Maybe it is an illusion and all is fine...

    someone has decided to use multiple water filters here. its possible they were meant for several apartments, but I'm guessing that someone wasn't happy with the quality of the filtered water, so they did this instead of buying a quality water filter. used to see these overseas in low cost apartments( even the one i lived in on a temporary basis and there is a lot of rust and sand in the water). so once i bought my own house I decided to spend 20k on a top of the range ground based filter( and boy did we need it )

    To combine the previous suggestions... I think this is the bottom of a window frame with hinges that allow opening it completely as well as tilting (I just took a look at my windows which have hinges exactly like that!). It has been fitted very poorly so the bottom hinge is partially embedded in the badly done tiling.
