20 people who clearly lost their minds when they decided to renovate or redecorate their homes
Home renovations can be stressful and expensive and we often face the challenge of making our homes our own while still making sure they retain their value.
But some people aren’t afraid of a little quirk. In fact, to them, new decor or even construction is a free-for-all. For a few, it’s clearly a way to cleanse themselves of their demons (and put them directly on the wall).
These 20 people had some creative ways of “sprucing up” their spaces.
From the questionable to the positively eye-searing, here are some photos that qualify as the exact opposite of “home design inspo.”
1. Death metal
So, you want your kid to stop jumping on the bed. Or you just don’t want to see that box spring in a dumpster. We get it.
But one really bad way to repurpose that giant piece of metal is to hang it right above a kid’s bed.
2. Making music
It’s really hard to stare at this photo and not want to meet the person who decided that a good place for an old piano was on the wall above the stove.
It’s a beautiful piece of wood, to be sure. But we’re so utterly perplexed by the design choice.
3. Treat yo’self
Some people are really committed to getting a jacuzzi tub. So committed that they’ll even install it in the kitchen if that’s the only place it fits.
Then again, we’ve absolutely been in the tub before and wished we had a pan of warm brownies to nosh on. And here’s the interior design that could make that wish a reality!
4. Clowning around
Et tu, tea kettle? That thing really put us over the edge.
The only upside we see to this utterly demented kitchen is that no one will want to follow you in there to bug you while you’re cooking.
5. Lemon lunacy
Yellow is a good color. Honestly, before we say this photo we would have been happy to say there’s nothing wrong at all with yellow.
But this. THIS is what’s wrong with yellow.
6. Beckoning Bacchus
Have you ever wanted to go down to your wine cellar but also feel like you’re walking straight into the mouths of people enjoying the Italian countryside and/or an angry wine god at the same time?
Well just waltz into the gaping maw below and let all of your wine-fueled dreams come true.
7. A man’s home is his castle
A cat castle, to be exact.
Does this not look like one of those cat scratch towers?
Would it be too much to hope this is actually a miniature cat house?
8. Arts and crafts
It’s clearly time we all checked on our crazy, craft-loving aunts because this is what happens when you don’t.
Can you imagine the time and effort it took to make the kitchen this heinous?
9. Neon nightmare
That tiny neutral rug really pulls the room together.
We’d like to suggest that paint companies just stop selling these colors in large quantities.
10. Get new friends
Granted, these things are all important parts of life, it’s just some of them are best kept private.
At least the font isn’t too bad.
11. Netflix and chill (and laundry)
For just over $ 1 million, you won’t even have to pause Netflix to put your laundry in the dryer.
And who wouldn’t love the visual challenge of trying to watch television while clothes are whirling in front of you?
We might be able to understand this if it was in a basement, but that’s the main floor!
12. A hairy situation
What fresh hell is this?!
Are those wigs? Are they not slippery? Because that’s certainly hideous if not dangerous.
13. Bringing the outdoors in
Wow. So maybe just get a houseplant next time. A small one.
What kind of fire hazard do you think that ceiling poses?
And just how do you explain to the fire marshall that it was your jungle kitchen’s fault that the blaze got so out of hand?
14. Lost at sea
You can argue that it looks kind of cool since it’s just a photo. You’d be wrong, but you can certainly argue that.
We are beyond perplexed by the person who wants to feel stuck in a storm in the middle of a planet-hailing apocalypse first thing in the morning though.
15. Floral fiasco
Wow, well this just happened.
It’s ok if you have to go throw up after seeing this photo.
Just be glad you don’t have to do it in this bathroom.
16. Gone “fishin'”
We don’t entirely get what’s happening here (other than the bad taste). Are those fish just supposed to look like they’re laying out on the ice?
What’s with the whole pile of fish?
If you have time to “catch” 6 or 7 fish on the toilet, should you maybe spend less time laying down a new floor and more time eating fiber?
17. Mosaic madness
Ok, we get it. You learn a new skill and you want to do your own renovations.
But there’s such a thing as too much mosaic. And this is what it looks like.
18. Mooove over, we have a new worst kitchen
Really? A giant cow-scape?
Like, really?
19. Under the sea
Help, we’re drowning in tacky decor!
We’re not even sure where to start with this one but we’d LOVE to set up a camera to catch people’s faces at the open house if this home ever goes up for sale.
It’s going to take more than paint to fix this mess.
20. One of these things just doesn’t belong here
After what we’ve seen, this almost looks normal at first.
That is until you see that there’s a tub right next to the dining room table.
That’s going to be one weird dinner party.

Don’t drink and redecorate, people!
