A+ A-

We all want our homes to look elegant and beautiful. But a silly little design mistake can ruin even the most beautiful of structures. For example, how would it look if there was a single fat pillar right outside of your entrance? Or if the windows were placed at oddly disproportionate angles? You can discover many such bizarre construction bloopers in the pictures below. These design fails are SO weird and hilarious you will be scratching your head and asking yourself – what were they thinking?!

1. Guess they tried too hard to be different

2. We're sure this must have some purpose... We just don't know what it is!

3. When you asked the contractor to install an adjustable switch "to dim the lights down low"

4. No entry... Unless you want to get in from the side. That's okay.

5. WHY?!!!

6. So is that left part of the staircase reserved for someone special?

7. Interesting pillar placement

8. Maybe they didn't want the fan to work

9. The longer I look at this photo, the worse it gets!

10. The designer must have dozed off while approving this

11. Well, I guess that might be quite thrilling...

12. Getting down from here will be really awkward

13. What were they thinking?

14. The placement of that clock completely ruins an otherwise beautiful structure

15. I wonder who would be willing to take a shower in a public hallway...

16. How does this even happen?

17. What purpose does this fan serve?

18. Why did they put dividers between these hand dryers?
