26 Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (April 13, 2025)

When arranging your home, there are quite a few considerations you have to take. You have to decide what furniture should go where, what color to paint the walls, how many rugs to get and what size, where the lighting is going to come from and so, so much more. There are thousands of little (and sometimes big) decisions that go into assembling your perfect abode. So needless to say, a lot can go wrong. If some of those choices are off, it can throw everything into question.

This is why some people seek the advice of folks on the internet to help them with their decisions. They may post a picture of their space and ask for advice. This is the sensible option. Ask for help. The people responsible for these photos did not ask for help. Or they did, and they were led astray by someone trying to sabotage them.

These images are a result of a lot of decisions gone wrong. They tried, and they failed spectacularly. But we're here to reap the benefits of that. Whether it was a room gone wrong, a product gone wrong, or a sign that got wildly lost in translation, we're here this week to look at some design fails.
