31 Home Remodeling Fails That'll Make Your Contractor Cringe

When it comes to a home remodel, 'doing it yourself' is way harder than it sounds. Every influencer on TikTok and Instagram makes it look gosh darn easy to measure, cut, sand, and spackle every inch of your house, but in reality, they're scratching the surface on all of the actual work that goes into building a home–at least, a beautiful one. Not to mention, the time-lapsed footage of their home's transformation…

The DIYers who remodeled some of the homes pictured below probably felt a surge of confidence watching a mother of 4 throw on some overalls and flip the basement to look exactly like a 16th-century English pub within 2 minutes. But when it comes to actually doing the job on their own house, real-life DIYers can shoot for the moon and still fall juuuust short of the fabled 'landlord special'. Yikes. 

Keep scrolling to enjoy some hideously timeless interior design fails that'll have you saying, 'Thanks, I hate it'.
