I absolutely love bad design.
Whether it's bad home design or bad packaging design, fails like the ones here never fail to entertain me. We're talking light switches cut in half, sideways toilets, and stairs to nowhere kind of bad design here, people.
Let's dive in.
"The lamp prevents the cupboard from fully opening in my new apartment."
I would forget that light is there and yank the cabinet open without a second thought.
"An apartment in London that has no front door. Just a set of stairs leading up to a window."
Boy, landlords will do anything to make a buck, huh?
"I was looking for an apartment and found this bathroom abomination. Also, why is the toilet so skinny?"
Not only is that toilet weirdly small, it's smushed right up next to the tub.
I seriously thought this was a joke until I saw that the plumbing actually connects to the toilet. Imagine trying to actually use this...I would just leave.
"May I present to you: The weird stairs at my house. [...] I never actually realized how weird this are since I lived with them all my life."
It's the steps on top of steps for me.
"In the 'newly remodeled bathroom' of my apartment (also there’s a window in the shower)."
If you're going to do a remodel, do it all the way. Don't LITERALLY cut corners.
"This bathroom I saw while looking for a house."
I'm sorry, but if you're going to list your house, at least put some peel and stick tile over the diarrhea-lookin' tile you already have. MY GOD.
What is it about bathrooms that inspires the weirdest design choices? Who looked at this and thought, "We should put the toilet roll holder in the shower" and can I hit them?
"These doors open into each other and get stuck together."
I lived in a house in Spokane, Washington that did this. Whoever designed doors like this is a clown.
"I spent 5 minutes searching for the light switch until I opened the FREAKING MEDICINE CABINET."
My favorite part is the fact that the switch plate is cracked as hell.
I get wanting an open floor plan, but you know where that doesn't need to extend to? The bathroom. I do not need a view of my apartment from the toilet. I just don't.
"Wooden TV panel mounted over the plug sockets."
I mean, what? Why? Was whoever did this expecting they would NEVER have to unplug the TV again? What if you wanted to replace it? This hurts my head.
Whoever looked at this bathroom and thought it needed stairs should be fired. Imagine trying to get out of the shower in this bathroom. No thank you, I like my bones blissfully unbroken.
"Stairs retrofitted into old house are a death trap."
I mean...why didn't they just build two stairs up and then make that whole floor level? What happened here?
"New apartment. Window doesn't open because of the cold water tap."
How anyone got away with designing this is beyond me. I think it might be time to combine the hot and cold taps, don't you?
