35 Hilarious Home Decor Disasters

Taking control of your home decor is popular these days. It allows homeowners to express their ideas, interests, and creativity. Having said all that, due to the freedom that these property owners have, they tend to push the boundaries in creating their plans. After compiling this list, we finally understand why interior designers are needed (and paid so well). 

Legendary rock n’ roll band Led Zeppelin created one of the greatest songs in history: “Stairway to Heaven.” We are pretty sure they did not have something like this in mind. Seriously, what is the idea behind this creepy creation?

There are a lot of questions running through our heads right now, and none of what we’re seeing makes sense. Why did they build a door this high, and do they not think it might need stairs? What’s the logic behind this high door?  

If you’ve used public restrooms at restaurants, schools, gyms, or offices, you will often notice posts and placards advocating for cleanliness in restrooms. As they say, having a clean restroom promotes good health.

A few years ago, we were introduced to multiple horror movies consisting of possessed dolls. Those movies had such a powerful impact on society that there was an appreciable decline in doll sales, especially the larger ones. Clearly, this person doesn’t fear anything. 

Upon seeing this picture, one thing comes to mind: the “you had one job” meme. Seriously, you don’t have to be an expert plumber or electrician to know the basics. Electrical sockets and faucets are not made for each other.

This photo was shared anonymously by a woman on social media. She was asking for feedback on her interior design. While the room looks spacious, we keep wanting to count how many rugs are on the floor. 

We’re not even sure where to start with this one as we are totally confused. How valuable are those old springs that you can’t dispose of them? Is there a sentimental attachment? Or does the owner have some kind of belief system that revolves around springs?

We are pretty sure that this is not a minimalistic idea as the picture shows plenty of space and various rooms based on the doors that are opened. It looks like the owner of the house had a change of heart in the middle of the project. 

Imagine this, you are in the middle of devouring some mouthwatering food and suddenly you have an upset stomach. You hurry to the bathroom and make it just in time. However, your relief fades as you realize you’re stuck in the situation below. 

If only one person is living in this house, we completely understand. However, if this is a family house, we would suggest contacting a professional interior designer. The placement of the kitchen island makes it look less like a kitchen and more like the set of the nightly news.

This house has us wondering if Rapunzel is trapped inside. The construction might not resemble the castle Rapunzel was trapped in, but that tower bears a pretty close resemblance. 

This design might have been created before online streaming videos or Youtube. You can tell by the size of the television that the owner is a huge TV addict. For some reason, they thought that installing the laundry machines in the living room would be convenient.

This is the first feature on our list that we might consider if we ever have some extra money to throw around. Just look at how neat and comfortable the whole area is. The chandeliers look elegant, the rug perfectly matches the floor, and they even have a fireplace!

If you haven’t seen what’s wrong with this picture, you still have time to take a second look. Found it? Great. Now it’s time to question it. What’s the purpose of that door on top of the fireplace?

If we were to summarize what we think about this design into one word, that word would be “overkill.” There’s nothing wrong with perfecting one's craft. It takes a lot of practice and patience. Once you perfected your artistry, however, it can get addictive, and that is exactly what happened here.

Barn doors are all the rage at the moment, but not everyone can afford the installation. If you’d like to join the trend but don’t have the cash to splash around, perhaps this tiny invention may do the trick. 

Is there such a thing as being too patriotic? Based on the design of this house, the only things missing are Zeus and the rest of the Greek gods! There’s nothing wrong with being proud of where you came from, but this is overkill.

In this episode of, “Trust me, I’m a professional,” we can see that none of the designs and placements make sense. The bathroom sink looks like it can be detached by a 12- year- old. Then there’s a table cut in half and hanging on the wall supporting the mirror.

In the third edition of, “Overkill”, obviously we can see that the owner of this house loves the color red. From the ceilings to the wall and floor, there’s no denying what the owner loves.

The way this cat's house was constructed means only two things. First, the owner loves their furball madly. Second, the owner has a lot of extra funds and time on their hands to create it. The notion that pets are part of the family is not taken lightly by some people.

While mixing and matching is a great way to come up with a unique style, it didn’t pan out in this design. The chandeliers don't compliment the area, and why does it have so many stools? Were the owners trying to recreate a bar design?

Repurposing something involves finding an alternative way for it to be used. The most common thing recycled is a mason jar. It can be used as a canister for your office and school supplies or it can be a makeshift container for different foods.

We will try to go easy on this one. It’s not a guarantee, but we will try. The murals are astonishing, don’t get us wrong. However, can somebody explain how all the scenes depicted on the stairs are connected?

Certain things go together and shouldn’t be separated. Like mac n’ cheese, peanut butter and jelly, nuts and bolts, and of course, sinks and mirrors. If you are wondering what happened to the placement of the mirrors in this bathroom, you are not alone.

If this was done in a bar or a pub, then it would at least get a few laughs. Instead of throwing out your old jeans, why not recycle them by using them as chair decor? This idea would definitely encourage customers to come in and take selfies. 

When people have a lot of money, they tend to do unnecessary things. It seems like the owner of this house was trying to design a bedroom that looked like a swimming pool. However, what’s questionable is the mural of an elephant on the ceiling.

Whoever owns this house is clearly a fan of ice fishing. We wonder if they got approval for this design from the other members of the household. 

Some people want to be unique so badly, they are willing to ruin their homes in the process. We only have two questions here. First, how many people are there in the household? Second, how is anyone meant to sit in those chairs?

Here’s another repurposing idea that went wrong. Certain things should remain in the box, in the attic, completely untouched. This might not be real to some, but some things seem to be possessed by dark magic, especially antiques.

Based on the picture, the statues seem to come from one of the tropical islands in the world. They are well-preserved works of art. The one thing we’re not sure about is whether they really belong in a bathroom.

Overall, the design of this house was carefully planned and executed. The vibe is somewhat regal, and it is a design that we’re sure some would love to replicate.

Have you noticed that some of the retro styles are coming back? From fashion to vinyl records and even the old ice cream parlor shops, it is great to see these things again. 

It's sad to see things that are mishandled and wasted due to negligence and people trying to do too much all at once. For instance, this spacious room could have been magnificent. There are a lot of amazing designs that could have been created with some professional help, but the owners decided to do it on their own. 

Just to be clear, we think this is much better than the red bathroom that we introduced a few slides ago. Still, it contains basically the same issue. Too much of anything is never a good thing. Yellow is a bit more mellow than red, but it’s still intense when it’s the only color in the room.  

There’s an ongoing debate with this picture surrounding whether or not the owner used real butterflies encased in resin or just stickers. Regardless of what they’ve used, this is not pleasing to the eyes. 

Margaret Wolfe Hungerford once stated, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Evidently, we aren’t the beholders destined to see beauty in this design. In fact, we don’t even see the purpose of it. If the goal is to scare visitors away. then the goal has been achieved. Despite checking all angles to verify the point of making this, we are lost for words.

It’s not hard to identify that the owner of this house is a nature lover. The ceiling is completely covered with pine needles and pine cones. It looks like they are in a cabin. While there’s nothing wrong with the design, the placement of the chandelier with the fake candles bothers us the most.

If this design was created for an advertisement or manufacturer of cow products, then they’d have our vote. Look how well they were able to maximize their kitchen. The owners of this house probably love cows so much they’ve decided to put one on a mural.

The last entry on our list is a doozy. Without the barn door, the house is perfectly conceptualized. Again, that is without the barn door. However, what we are seeing is another structural failure that could have been avoided through proper planning.
