Ready to Play “Best Toilet, Worst Toilet”? Me Neither. Let’s Go.

You'd think designing a toilet would be straightforward. Sit down, do your business, move on with your life. But oh no. Some toilets are serene thrones of luxury and privacy—and others are anxiety-inducing nightmares you'll remember every time you hear a flush for the rest of your life.

This list has it all:
– Toilets with scenic mountaintop views (for the brave).
– Bathrooms with doors made of absolutely nothing.
– Gold-plated lavatories that scream "too much money, not enough taste."
– And public stalls with layouts so cursed, it feels like a design challenge from Saw.

Some are pure design goals. Others feel like a social experiment in shame and vulnerability. Either way, you're going to feel something—and probably double-check the bathroom next time you're at a gas station, train station, or questionable bistro in rural Europe.

So grab some toilet paper and get emotionally prepared, because this is 20 photos of toilet design at its absolute best and worst. We can't promise comfort, but we can promise confusion.
