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.

What are you complaining about? the toilet makes a good "folding seat" when you have guest

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 hurricane-neddy-toilet-5d458e5cb65a7.png

I wish the fireplace was still in working order because there's nothing like pooping next to an open fire.

When I was little we lived in a small apartment with the bathroom right off the kitchen. I thought THAT was bad.

Reminds me of those tiny homes, but they usually put a curtain around the toilet.

Desperately hoping they had just bought the toilet and basin, and they are just propped there on the way to be installed.

A lot of the oldest apartments in NYC were designed this way. My great-grand-uncle lives in a rent-controlled apartment in Manhatten that he has had since after WWII that is just like this!

I used to rent beach condos for a living. We actually had one with “extra seating”. The owners put a toilet—-on a raised platform, mind you—-in the living room, on the other side of the wall from the one in the bathroom. Not an extra tiny room with a toilet. Not even a privacy screen around it. A prominent “throne” out in the open, in the combo living/dining (the mind reels) room, directly across from the front door (oh, hello). I think people only rented it for the funny vacation story.

Here we have the beautiful dining room bathroom combo with a fireplace mantle but no fireplace. Now follow me to the bedroom with a four post bathtub.

Where to even begin here. Fake fireplace mantel framing white wall - check. Random dining set in front of said fake fireplace - check. Toilet AND a sink in room - check. Yep, it's a winning room!

The trick: just sit on the toilet and pretend your pooping to make someone leave, with their food still on the table. Then eat it!

Love the placement of the clock - where everyone can see it, but far enough away you can't read the time.

When the food is so bad, you need to immediately take a dump and can't last till you reach the bathroom.

I wonder if it is set up for someone with limited mobility who is hoping to maintain independent living? But there's no bar to grab by the toilet to get up … maybe someone with a horror of interior walls?

If you live alone and there was a sink nearby, this would be perfect.

All that pink stuff made me almost miss the fact that there is a bathtub next to the bed.

I would hazard a guess that you don't live in a room like this, you rent it by the hour.

This actually looks like a good idea. It removes that little line of light the peaks through the curtains.

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

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!
