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!

Ever have the feeling of being stuck in a place where it's hard to take a c**p. Well, now you can get that every day with "Squeeze Hall". You'll feel like the walls are closing in on you every second or you can relive the trash compactor scene from "Star Wars", only in a more defecating way.

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!

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!

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 :-/ ;-)

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.
AnnieLaurie Burke 6 years ago
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.

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!
