Real Estate Agent Posts 25 Of The Worst Home Design Finds By Her Fellow Agents
Real estate agents are the keepers of the keys - many keys. They get to see unique homes of all shapes and sizes, from modest to mansion, along with some truly interesting architectural choices and design ideas. Just like with fashion, everyone has their own idea of what works or not, and there are bound to be some design fails along the way - and real estate agents get a front-row seat to the madness.
Agent Venessa Van Winkle wanted to share just how weird and random the interior design of some houses are, so she called on her fellow home sellers to share photos with her of the bad, the ugly, and the bizarre. Scroll down below to look at these unbelievable home designs, and don't forget to upvote your fave funny pictures!

What are you complaining about? the toilet makes a good "folding seat" when you have guest
I don't see what's that bad about it? It's a bathroom, you can put blinds on the windows and there's appropriate bath mats preventing slipping
The steps. This design is dangerous. And it makes no sense at all. Why steps????

The toilet is there to use for a step to get in the tub. Because a step ladder would look weird.
My dad couldn't make it to that toilet. He has enough trouble im an average bathroom (they have the safety rails in their bathroom at home for him. ) pretty sure this would kill him.

Imagine going to the toilet after a night out!

If you don't mind a laughing Jabba the Hutt watching you poop or take a bath
I prefer not to break my ankle every time I pee, wash my hands and take a soak! Seriously, how many steps do you need in an area that is a splash zone?
everyone to his own taste, that's what the farmer said when he kissed the cow
Stairs is a menace everywhere. In a bathroom...a bloody catastrophe!!!
Use toilet. Go down the stairs. Go up the stairs to the sink. Then take a bath next to the toilet.
There’s nothing actually wrong with this, there’s a lot of thought that’s gone into the design, It’s just a little bit over the top, but saying that it wouldn’t bother me,
This is kind of fun! Except for having to step up to go to the bathroom and brush your teeth!
When you sit you can look out the windows and dangle your feet over the top step.
So much nicer than my house. Just add some blinds , maybe new color paint.
To make certain men stand close enough to pee into the toilet 🚽 lol 😂, but though deco ok, the steps are a problem and a danger
Imagine how many times I can trip going up to the toilet step down to wash my hands & hope to GOD I can swing my legs over to get into the tub....my daily workout.
I like this one as well. What's wrong with it? I'm not a fan of the toilet being at the top there but I'm a weirdo about toilets being in a big open room that's just me tho.
The decoration by the tub looks like Godzilla is about to attack. You would have to be careful brushing your teeth, one step too far back and you'd have a head injury. The "tile" looks like the cheap stick on kind and they added random millwork that doesn't go with anything and has no purpose. I think someone must have gotten a Home Depot card and just went crazy and no idea why a contractor allowed them to elevate everything. Awful.
Just goes to show how people’s tastes can be so different. I actually love this!
THIS ONE LOOKS GOOD AND FUNXIONAL,,, I DONT THINK IT BELONGS IN THIS ARTICLE :)
I can just see getting in soap in your eyes, not finding a towel and start feeling around for it and whoops!
A bit other-worldly, but I could make do. Don't want to use the room if I've had too much wine, though. Ouch!
I kinda like it. Even though the steps are not really functional, at least they have non-slip mats.
those annoying stairs look almost like an optical illusion due to them not matching.
My biggest issue with this bath is the toilet. Why is it so close to the tub?
I see the volcano is where the water comes out! Omg that’s so tacky! 🤣
that's actually the most reasonable one yet: keep the curtains and it's ready to use.
So you're in a wheelchair huh? Well, the neighbours are real friendly.
LOL, at first glance I thought the wall decoration was dinosaurs (why is the palm tree monotone beige?) And I get, now, that the paint is supposed to be waves but they look fairly menacing. Lastly, I can easily see people accidentally falling down backwards when stepping back just an inch too far while brushing their teeth.
climbing out. the bar in the middle is going up a place I don't want.
'Hi' 'Hi!' 'How are you doing?' 'kinda great, i'm just taking a bath. You?' 'Ooh just taking a shit'
Perfectly normal in many long term relationships. There are no secrets anymore lol.

The big question is, do the agents ever manage to sell/rent these places?
At HUGE discounts.
Downvoted? Why? Someone can't face facts? The FACT is that I've bought and sold several houses. I wouldn't go near most of these with a barge pole because they'd all cost a minimum of $50.000.00 to$100,000.00 to rip out all the garbage in the interiors. Plus, anyone who deliberately screws up their interior i KNOW isn't taking care of the rest of the house.

THAT FAGGOT NOTSOSWIFT IS USING ALT ACCOUNTS TO DOWNVOTE YOU
Sure. I rented a place with a weirdly built carpeted bathroom for a while... It also had cabinets installed at a height that meant you couldn't put a tall pot or a toaster on the kitchen counter... The place kindof sucked, but it was cheap and I was broke...
Maybe sold them to the same who were selling the others...
If in USA I'm sure some "fixer upper" fool will purchase ;)
Idk if deciding to take on a home project to make your own makes you a fool. Nothing wrong with fixing up a house, especially because even most people would put their own personal touch into a "normal" home upon buying. Isn't every house a fixer-upper in that case?
I think that life is nothing without values and money is very obviously nothing without education. These rooms remind me of mr Trump and retired porn producers tho Lol
Aren't those the same thing?
OOOOOOOOOOOOH *screams "BUUURN"
Damn trumps gonna need to to put some cold water on that burn
Trump may be garish, but he doesn't put sinks and toilets in dining rooms, a 4-poster around a bathtub, 2 toilets catty-corner for ease of conversation, a jacuzzi in the kitchen, a bathtub at the top of a flight of steep stairs with no railing between tub and stairs, or a toilet at the end of a tunnel so small that many people might not be able to turn around to sit down. Can you imagine needing to back into that room to take a poop?
Whine whine whine Trump whine whine Trump whine.............
He would do all of those things in a cold minute for his tenants if it would save him a nickel. Your nose is looking pretty brown there.
I can imagine him having a gold toilet, since he does fake gold on almost everything else, which is pretty fucking garish.
How do you know all this?
Sure... and with a name like yours, you're of course a Rhoades scholar, right??
Yup!
do you ever get tired of being so bitter and angry about losing an election? Trump has done nothing to you to give you a reason to be so nasty. I feel sorry for you, it must be hell being mad all the time.
I'm comforted that I'm not the only person whose seen these mental homes! When my hubby and I were looking for our first home to rent, we came across the flat that we'd come to call the 'pimp's palace'. It was dated af, with a carpeted bathroom and a tacky 70s bar in the living room but the layout was weird as we became more and more aware that we were walking around a hidden room in the centre of the flat, as we went from room to room which were all interconnected in a circle. We asked the estate agent what was in the middle and she sighed as she opened a hidden door. There was an actual fucking sauna, all tiled floor to ceiling, with benches and the thing you put the coals in, in the centre of a one bed flat. We could not get out of there quick enough!
Just realize, that at some point these people thought this was a great idea.
So, I'm old. I have to go to the bathroom at least once during the night. You would find me dead on the floor if I lived in one of those houses where you have to walk up a few steps to pee.
Oooo I used to go on some website/blog/I don't even know anymore that was basically this. It was hilarious and I forgot about it til now. Too bad I can't remember what it was
I can't remember the name, either, but I do remember that blog. It was (hideously) awesome.
Hideous!!! That toilet only for skinny people, and that bathroom design are they expected once you in the house you take a bath right away lol And the bed so close to the bathtub you know once you demolition that house, all the mold growing in flooded or damp spot can cause your health issues. Wtf they were thinking.
This is the Sims starter pack.
my rectangle house in sims dont look that bad anymore
Imagine how hard it must be for the real estate agents to sell these homes! These agents have my respect! Haha. :)
I'd like to know what country they're in !!!
Our house could have been featured here. It had a “death window” (a giant window set too low in a bedroom with no glass that looked down into the vaulted kitchen). We ended up hiring people to drywall over the Death Window. Lol.
Most colourful and creative places can be toned down with a coat of boring paint. People who leave these places behind will make the next space their own. Interior decorators NEVER put the owner's history or personality into a space, only cold pieces from current trends.
yes, they tell you to only paint your walls neutral 'safe' colors...I'd live in an apartment if I wanted generic. I have each bedroom painted in a jewel tone pastel, light green, sky blue, lavender and my kitchen and baths are in a beautiful French vanilla semi gloss that looks like pearl.

You're right, and OMG, so much why? over there :)
What do I think? I think that humanity needs to be destroyed we've passed the brink of redemption.
Nope, nope. First you need to find the origin of some of these atrocious designs & do some targeted elimination ;-) The entire world doesn't need to suffer due to, for what it seems a large part coming from 1 particular western civilization. Ah wait...... that is a possible result that could happening right now :-/ ;-)
I m real state agent, but in Brazil and I already see nonsense pleaces. www.cassialima.com
These are crazy!!!
I have been an interior designer working in other people's homes since 1976. never have seen anything as awful as this stuff. the worst was some red water spigots holding a valance in the kitchen.
I think I saw some of these on the Terrible Real Estate Photos website.
To each, his own. Everyone has their idea of "decor". I assume these places were all decorated by their current owner(s) whose taste may or may not be to everyone's liking. Seriously, though, if you want to get a decent asking price for your home, make it neutral. Remind yourself that not everybody wants to walk into a bathroom of old country roses; not everyone wants a jacuzzi 6" from the bed. Best to paint walls neutral beiges and let the new owners put their own stamp on the decor. As for that jail cell toilet, get it removed and turn that into a pantry.
My brain hurts.
Thinking of performing home improvements or a remodel without professional guidance nor advice? You might as well set fire to several thousand dollars. That would be less expensive in the long term.
Seems like most are reused materials to make a horrible decision
And I thought it was bad to put the kitchen (and living room and dining room) upstairs in a house with no AC. You go through the front door and you face a winding stairway. Gotta carry all groceries, etc. up said winding staircase. And try to get appliance up there when they need replaced. Or go up the outside stairs in rain + snow and through upstairs porch door. God-awful hot in summer anyway, and even more so during meal prep. The countertop halogen oven does help a little.
The real question is, will you credit @pleasehatethesethings from Instagram?
More privileged first world white people problems
If it's got good "bones" as they say and is super cheap, they can be fixed and made into nice homes
Yup! Chip and Joanna could make these houses into real treasures. (Or die trying!)
My eyes hurt after that list
Some of these are just decor that doesn't suit a wide audience, but some of these really are terrible designs.
Still won't disguise the aftermath of a warm bean and cheese enchilada
worst not its good thing
