Home decoration is highly personal, as these people with very specific tastes can tell you. The things that you love to have in your home might baffle other people. But when it's your home, you can do as you please! The only way other people will get to judge your all-yellow bathroom or your jagged DIY sink is when you sell the place.

Not all DIY projects are created equal. It's one thing to paint or wallpaper your living room to your taste. It's a whole other story when you start cutting up your kitchen sink, as one person here did. If you're going to do a DIY project, make sure you actually know what you're doing! There's a reason the pros wear protective gear and face masks when they're working with certain materials, but DIY people often throw caution to the wind as they attempt things themselves.

In other photos here, you can tell that professionals did design certain elements, but that the requests were just highly specific. These homes may be custom-built, but you can't buy good taste in home decor.

Check out these utterly baffling design choices below. And after that, read about the nightmare client who insisted on getting a really ugly website for her company.
