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!

You better not get out of the tub.. or get in it for that matter
Load More Replies...I keep my first aid kit at the bottom of the stairs . . . that's where I need it the most.
Besides the stairs, what's with the panel at the end? Panels like that are usually for accessing the plumbing, but the plumbing is on the opposite end of the tub.
We'll never work this one out Cassie, maybe it's a secret microwave, for bath snacks.
Load More Replies...She’s buuuuuhhhuuuyyung a stairway to Heaven if she gets out on the aide with the stairs. 😂😂😂😂😂
Load More Replies...This would made me found as a skeleton 30 years later. I won't even fit. If I don't fit I don't sit !
Load More Replies...I have to give props to the guy who installed it. That's skill right there bois
Yes, my first thought was "Resident Evil" - the hallway with the lasers.
Load More Replies...Probably no structural support behind the drywall.
Load More Replies...My OCD trigger. I'm internally screaming right now
Load More Replies...I saw the image and instantly knew everyone in the comments, mostly people without OCD, would be like 'omg my ocd can't handle this'
When you're building a house on the Sims, but the chandelier is two squares wide and the trim is only one.
My retinas are still scarred from the flower bathroom. It's a toss up...one is devastating and the other the grossest most unsanitary thing I've ever seen, and that includes the one and only time I used the bathroom at Walmart!!😳😳
Load More Replies...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
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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
Load More Replies...Time for some new glasses, Rika~ Luv ya anyhow!!
Load More Replies...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.
Eww is that carpet on and around the tub? That's going to get so moldy so fast
Are we just going to ignore the fact there there is an electric baseboard heater on the side of the tub wrapped in carpet?
I was trying to figure out if this was a bedroom or bathroom. It’s both !!
Load More Replies...Is that a baseboard heater on the side? Yeah that looks really safe!
Yup, both in tems of electricity + water and in terms of the carpet capturing the heat behind it...
Load More Replies...Seriously I have had nightmares featuring showering in the middle of a room
Omg I thought I was the only one who had nightmares about showers/tubs in the worst locations!
Load More Replies..."I want a canopy bed! No. A tub! no no no no no... can't decide. Just gimme both"
The electric heater on the side is truly the cherry on top of that cake of misery.
What are you complaining about? the toilet makes a good "folding seat" when you have guest
When I first looked at the picture I thought “well they put a table where a fireplace should have been, okaaay, not too bad.” Then I read your comment .. 🤦🏻♀️
Load More Replies...Reminds me of when Flanders' house got wiped out in the hurricane and the community rebuilt it for him and put the toilet next to the fridge. hurricane-...cb65a7.png
"Renovated, furnished, open spaced apartment with fireplace and cabinets"
I wish the fireplace was still in working order because there's nothing like pooping next to an open fire.
I read about this door. They set it upside down so their dog can look outside :-)
I was going to say that. I read that as well. Its for his/her dogs to look out.
Load More Replies...Should have gone to specsavers! Latest ad has an upside down door with a cat trying to get through the cat-flap.
I actually like this. You can see if the cat is outside and wants back in.
When you're re-using a door, and you realize the swing is wrong, you improvise.
All that pink stuff made me almost miss the fact that there is a bathtub next to the bed.
I was like...yeah, it's pink, but it's really not that ba.....oh...wait!
Load More Replies...Lot of pink. Satin sheets. Bathtub about a foot from the bed. And then there's the surveillance camera. No, nothing pervy here at all
Omg I did not notice that camera! Quagmire’s daughters bedroom?
Load More Replies...Is this, uh, some kind of pleasure room? Is the camera on the ceiling for security?
Actually, I'd like that because I'm so lazy go to the bathroom and back to bed.
For when you've got food poisoning & it's coming out both ends....
I had food poisoning about 15 years ago. Don't want to go into details, but this setup would have been perfect!
I was thinking for the family that has a stomach bug at the same time!!
Load More Replies...Well like they always say couples who poop together stay together. yeah, that's a saying
This setup would be perfect for someone that has a stomach virus and had it coming from both ends...js
I would hazard a guess that you don't live in a room like this, you rent it by the hour.
I kinda like it all! Like when you see those well preserved homes from the 50’s and 60’s. It’s so bad it’s awesome! I want to sleep on that carpet in a yellow nightgown!
Load More Replies...Open bathroom in the bedroom, mirrors in the back, mirors at the ceiling...
I actually dont hate this one!! Other than the fact that there really shouldn't be carpet around the bathtub, its kinda cooolllll
I showed this house in Snohomish to some clients!! They just sent me this list to laugh about it. We actually offered (low) on the home with the idea of including reno costs. Amazing view of the valley below and large lot. But yes, this was one of the most "amazing" bedrooms I'd shown. BTW, the mirror above the bed... it drops down a TV so you can chillax and catch up on 70's James Bond movies in style. -- Brad Howell, The Howell Group, Seattle Wa.
I doubt anyone in that room and in that bed choice of movie would be an Roger Moore 007 😏
Load More Replies...Sometimes you want to nuke some pizza rolls, grab a beer, then climb into the tub for a bubble bath, and watch some TV. It's brilliant!
So that the fridge with the cold drinks is never too far away.
Load More Replies...Here's the real question: Is it a kitchen with a built-in tub, or a tub with a built-in kitchen?
Is this the same house that had the toilet and wash basin in the dining room? Talk about time savers!
Thats not a bathtub thats just a really big sink to go with the kitchen
No. It's called "I have too much time on my hands and I have no taste at all, so I'm happy to make my house look like Holly Hobby vomited all over it.
Load More Replies...Yes, if they'd add some kind of separator between the toilet and bathtub, and plop some plants in it, this would be really neat.
Load More Replies...Is that... a giant... pointer-pin drop locator on the floor? "I AM HERE. I AM IN TOILET!"
I was thinking it looked like a giant drop of blood over the drain. Your take is less disturbing.
Load More Replies...Yes! How is that possible? Like it will never be clean, but not necessarily dirty...
Load More Replies...'Mirror, mirror on the wall, why don't you make any sense at all?'
I kinda like how the mirror fits into the other. It's f*****g weird but I like it
Left eye looks at the left mirror, the other eyes look at right mirror
Load More Replies...This is actually a genius idea for viewing yourself from the same angle others view you, instead of mirror opposite, which is misleading.
Agree, I think this is a possibly successful attempt at creating a "real" mirror.
Load More Replies...Ah! I seriously didn't see anything really wrong before I read your comment.
Load More Replies...I know a granny in my former building that had this kind of idea to cover air vent... or they just shrink a bit in the dryer ;p
Load More Replies...Holy heck, I was wondering where they got that design idea, now we know!
Load More Replies...That's something I've never once thought of in my entire lift!!
Load More Replies...Love to see what it looks like on the inside. One long curtain? 4 small curtains? Is this on the inside stairs? Are 2 windows fake?
I bet those are just the windows to the staircase ...so it makes sense.
What does this look like from the inside?? Is this a really tall open room, four really short levels, or two levels that might not have enough floor/ceiling in between them? Maybe it's a stairwell?? What is happening here?
Look at the staaaars... Look how they shine for you... And everything you do... Yeah they were aaaaall yellow ♬♪
Why ... Why you do this? Now that songs stuck in my head.
Load More Replies...What is the purpose of that urn/vase thing in front of the sink
You are my sunshine...My only sunshine....You make me happy when skies are grey......if you only knew dear .....how much I love you......Please don't take my sunshine away......
maybe that's why there is a furry cover on the loo lid - so that you don't slip.
Load More Replies...It's bonkers but I kind of like it. They've definitely got a vision.
Most of the really bad stuff is easily removed. Just a little paint and it's doable. Except for the black cabinet way, way up there.
Exactly what I thought. But I would also replace the sliding door between the bath and the toilet.
Load More Replies...WTF? I didn't even see the cabinet. So, so bizarre.
Load More Replies...The toilet doubles as a step stool to get to cabinet. Genius!
I was so shocked by the wave it took me some time to notice there was no faucet.
Load More Replies...That's actually pretty cool. Just need a faucet. Isn't that supposed to be installed before the counter was installed?
Ummm no, the faucet would have gone in after the counter, but they certainly should have drilled the holes for the faucet first
Load More Replies...They can't add a faucet. the cutouts in the countertop have to be made BEFORE they install faucets.
Load More Replies...This actually looks like a good idea. It removes that little line of light the peaks through the curtains.
well yeah but also all the other curtains are on a slant and will probly fall down
Load More Replies...If they are fake butterflies: Pretty! If they're real: Not so much, that'd be just cruel. :-/
Or have a step-ladder or the kind of stairs that you buy for dogs to climb onto really high beds...
Load More Replies...husband: Look what I found in the alley! wife: We don't have a fireplace...
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????
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...Imagine going to the toilet after a night out!
Load More Replies...If you don't mind a laughing Jabba the Hutt watching you poop or take a bath
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!
For some reason this makes the "Saved By the Bell" theme come to mind
now the theme song by Cyndi Lauper(credited as Ellen Shaw) is in my head
Load More Replies...The upstairs railing is fine but the downstairs one is so unnecessary
It's not. It has to be there because there's nothing there to support that fake balcony.
Load More Replies...Actually, it's Juliet who says the line in the play --- "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore are thou Romeo?"
Load More Replies...Actually, there is a lot of bizarre going on here besides the downstairs railing. The reason the upstairs balcony is needed is becausel the stairs are backwards...they should start on the right side and turn left at the landing. Then there is the little offset window above the door that will never, ever be washed. The chandelier is interesting, as is the light under the landing. I see what look slike two doorbell boxes and possibly two thermostats. And the lovely stub wall to hide...the bookcase from the front door? Love the attic door in the hallway, too.
Stairwells on flat surfaces never make sense to me. This looks like a massive bunk bed.
What's with the bottom rail? To keep people from falling on to the floor? Also, that column needs to be bigger if that landing is deliberate. You move furniture in and happen to catch that, the landing is coming down. Seriously poor design on this one.
Maybe to keep the dogs restricted to certain areas of the house.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...Imagine how hard it must be for the real estate agents to sell these homes! These agents have my respect! Haha. :)
