32 Design Fails That Missed the Mark... By a Mile (September 3, 2024)

You know what they say about interior design - it's all fun and games until someone sticks a toilet in the living room. Designing a home should be like a harmonious dance, each choice flowing into the next, creating a seamless ballet of beauty and function. Instead, it seems some have taken their steps from a hokey-pokey playbook! While we acknowledge that design is a collective effort, involving architects, decorators, and sometimes eccentric homeowners, one has to wonder: at which meeting did they decide that an upside-down staircase was a great idea?

These 31 design fails aren't just 'oopsies', they're full-blown, head-scratching mysteries. Whether they ran out of tape measures or simply threw logic to the wind, buckle up for a rollercoaster of design decisions that are, well, anything but designed.
