31 Ridiculous Design Fails That Are So Bad, They're Actually Hilarious

There's something oddly comforting about a design fail—probably because it's not your disaster. These aren't just minor missteps, either. We're talking about staircases that lead straight into walls, Bathrooms that are hidden inside living room closets, and homes so poorly thought out, they leave you wondering if they were designed by a random person off the street.

The best part? Some of these are so ridiculous they almost feel deliberate, like the designer was having a bad day and decided, "You know what? Let's see if anyone notices." Of course, we notice—and we laugh. But somewhere out there, someone has to live with these decisions. They're the ones squeezing into the world's worst shower, trying not to fall off a bizarrely shaped chair, or answering questions about why their bathroom sink looks… let's just say, unfortunate.
