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!

This is an art piece done by Makoto Egashira. She uses floral carpet to make sculptures, her work is amazing. Please check out her art, support the artist instead of just believing the photo.
This needs upvotes! Thank you Jeff! Here's an article> https://i-d.vice.com/en_us/article/598qkx/makoto-egashira-floral-blanket-art

Looks like it is just for show. Look at the toilet paper dispenser, it has carpet in it. Maybe it is "art"
Yes, this has to be a Dada art installation of some sort. It does not appear to be functional. Note the fabric toilet paper, the faucet on top of the toilet tank, and the flood of gallery lighting from above.

I just had a terrifying thought. What if you go to an elderly lady's home to help her around the house. She gives you a cup of tea for your trouble but little do you know, she put 20 hits of acid in it. You start to feel weird and ask to go to the bathroom. She shows you this bathroom and leaves you to it. You can't manage to escape for the 24 hour trip you are on. Tell me that is not the ultimate horror movie.
Someone please make this movie or write a novel from this

This is so over the top, that it becomes somewhat likable! ;-) Unfortunately these things are not so hygienic.......
This has nothing to do with real estate agents, this is an art piece - like it or not... another story :)
Great Aunt Ida loved her flowered bathroom but when she wore her flowered bathrobe there, we couldn’t find her.
Maybe this is where the cops use it as an interrogation room! I'd certainly tell the truth to get the heck out!! Or it's a form of discipline when the kids misbehave, kinda like a time-out room!!🤣🤣🤣 Please forgive me, as I have sooooooo many things rolling around in my noggin and don't want annoy anyone!! I just write them down and post later!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah the potty in a tunnel would be more effective for that.

Dear God in Heaven!! My retinas are forever scarred and I'll probably have an anxiety attack in the spring when the flowers bloom!!🤦🏼♀️🤣
Ohh yess and i choose yellow flowers just for the floor under closet.
Good point - if they were simply covers they'd surely have to be bigger? Hideous though.

If you want to go out but your allergic for flowers, just go to the toilet:)
Might be considered art, but for a restroom, it is highly unnecessary and will become a breeding ground for bacteria fast.
At least there's a toilet there for when this design makes you vomit.
Oooooohhhh! Is that brocade??? 😲 Wow! Even the shithousepaper is clothed!!!
The thought of all that fabric in a bathroom makes me cringe in disgust, nevermind that it looks like my Great Aunt Tilly decorated it. Shudder.
Some late 19th century toilet bowls had similar floral designs. Bathroom at 120 Marlborough St., Boston had one. Many of the fixtures were OEM.
I left one instruction for you to remember; JUST ONE. No flowers in the bathroom!!! And you screwed that one up.
Imagine the pee smell from all that carpet with any man in the house.
I wonder how many times they accidentally s**t on the floor?
Obviously rug art sculpture piece. Anyone believing it to be a real bathroom is the dumb one in this instance.
Note the TP holder, bowl scrubber and toilet top. I think all are covered in towelling.
Oh my good gracious... I've heard of Flower Power but this is extreme
I was going to say that someone has too much time on their hands. Glad to hear it's an art installation. Thanks Pandas!
I'm guessing it's very very quiet in there. But, watch out for spills of any kind.
WTH IS THAT??? Seriously...what is that ??? I guarantee this is a southern white woman's powder room hahahaaa
I ACTUALLY LOVE THIS!! JUST A BIT OVER THE TOP, AND I DO LOVE FLORALS, BUT A GOOD DESIGNER KNOWS WHEN TO STOP!!
Did anyone else notice the toilet paper being floral and made of fabric?
It would make a nice conversation piece, but I'd never, ever, want to actually use it.
this is the dirtiest bathroom ever. My germaphobia just kicked into high gear.
Despite these efforts, the Smiths had to admit the aroma of roses almost never permeated the air.
Please tell me this is an art installation and not a real, working bathroom...right???
And now an AC/DC song is running through my cranium...."A Whole Lotta Rosie"
The roll of paper would indicate this is an art installation or a miniature.
IF and I mean If I had to live someplace where it had an out door toilet , I would feel that it would need to feel and look like this or I would just use a bucket. No I didn't do this one but I thank you for the idea if I really need to.
When people try to emulate 'The Ivy' restaurant restrooms at home...🤪
Good thing there is a toilet there so you can vomit when you see this room. Was this person insane?
Im wondering it's fabric on the floor too. What is this called in case, bacteria house ?
It is a piece of art by Makoto Egashira, using traditional Japanese blankets..

Yes. Yes it is..... Is it a climbing wall for cats?

Someone should have taken the decoupage glue away from whatever poor woman committed this atrocity.
Well, if you weren't going to vomit BEFORE you entered the bathroom ...
What are you complaining about? the toilet makes a good "folding seat" when you have guest
This actually looks like a good idea. It removes that little line of light the peaks through the curtains.
Those prints were very popular in the 80-ties (well at least in my country). Had a similar design for wall paper in my teeny-weeny room back then!
The big question is, do the agents ever manage to sell/rent these places?
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
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 f*****g 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!
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.
Imagine how hard it must be for the real estate agents to sell these homes! These agents have my respect! Haha. :)
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.

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 actually adore a couple of these. I love houses with personality. The bedroom with the jade carpet is my favorite! I love it. So unusual
I m real state agent, but in Brazil and I already see nonsense pleaces. www.cassialima.com
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.
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.
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?
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!)

It's all basically a flashback to the house I was raised in, except cleaner, without my family's chaos and fighting and '80s-'90s awkwardness. On my own I've lived in a duplex where I used the front living room as my bedroom. When we had a party one night I had several people hanging w/ me in that bed/living room, at one point eight loose acquaintances sprawled out on my bed drinking. Design fail? Nay, success!
A lot wouldn't pass inspection in a number of countries - doesn't stop people doing weird things themselves and not getting any kind of authority involved.
