Why Consulting a Professional is Key for Successful Construction and Decor Projects
Is This a House or a Fortress Ready to Be Defended?
Even though this house appears conventional at first glance, lingering over it allows you to notice its peculiar elements in greater depth. First of all, every time you want to enter or exit your home, the enormous and somewhat excessive staircase provides you with a little exercise. Bringing items into or out of the house merely makes the whole situation worse. Furthermore, the tiny windows are truly unique. The home has a moat and modest embrasures, which make it resemble a tiny fort overall.

This moat aspect might not be completely incorrect either. Is this a common flood zone where this house would have been either made this tall or at least not created out of a swamp?
As If Stairs In Rush Hour Weren’t Bad Enough
Taking the metro is already a stressful experience. Always on the go, trains are never not packed. For the less surefooted among us, the stairs can be a bit terrifying. And this is why railings are important. They’re supposed to assist you as you navigate up and down staircases in a safe manner, so one has to wonder what kind of mindset the designers were in when they created this staircase in the Shanghai Metro.
These handrails tend to be more of an injury risk than a physical prevention. However, at least if you take a toy skateboard with you, you can at least go up and down the ramps.
Sometimes, people catch the practical joke on them too late.
I can only imagine the glee of the designer of this health center seeing building upon building snapped above the ground. Or at least, this better all be intentional. If this was an accident, then the designer needs to go home and re-evaluate several things. I hope all the different wings and wards were laid out correctly. Other than that, it would be quite a waste not to.
We don’t want to say the least about this weird design but does at least give a long-distance flower to the health care center the next time we are in bother.
Have you ever Wondered What Those Unreachable Windows and Dust Shelves Were Really For?
Once in a while you look at a design element and think to yourself, “Why would anyone ever do that?” There are lots of cases: dust on shelves, windows that look like they work but are placed in strange places… Well, the designers sure seem to be fans of cats because it’s a nice little hiding and gauntlet course. Okay, so it is a bit scary when you suddenly have a toy drop from the sky and tiny pinpricks in the dark stare from above but most cat owners likely have become used to this.
Tornadoes and hurricanes are all well and good, but the question remains how one even clean up there? So, every time do you have to use a ladder? But what if there is no room for the ladder on the stairs? Those questions are meant to be kept up at night.
Color Theory Is Not Saving This One
You might have heard by now about color theory, the idea that red signifies warmth, health, comfort and healing. That is exactly what I am saying, but at the same time there is no escaping the blood is red, literally escaping the red designs everywhere because of it. Well, these carpet designs take that to the next level. Is the designer just getting off on the fact that every time a new visitor walks into the hallway for the first time they end up scared out of their wits?
There is no other way to put it: it looks like there are bloodstains as if it were some sort of a gruesome true crime series. It could be wine stains.
Sometimes Feeling Fancy Just Isn’t Worth It
That whole wish to have an island in the kitchen craze is not so warm these days, yet some still hold on it. It is nice to have an island and some space to do some socializing with friends and family over a sink, but this is just overkill. It cannot merely be in the way, but you have to wonder: where do all of the dishes you hand wash go? Where do they go to dry?

Despite the kitchen broadly drawing on 70s stylistics, some things are better left in the gutter of history. And maybe just punch a few random brick walls in the face.
Modern Problems Require Modern Solutions
This is exactly the sort of place that there would be a good reason to get a real architect on board. You definitely do not want to discover after the walls are up that a doorway isn’t exactly fitting into the room designs. Corner doors are great and can really change the shape of a room, but this is definitely one of the more unusual methods to create one.
And at the end of the day, it works, it works. It’s not the most horrendous design in the world and it could be quirky and different enough for some folks out there to actually be fond of it.
Whatever’s on these stairs is probably not worth the risk.
Designers tend to go a little nuts with the form of staircases and forget about the function. Although these are pleasant to see, utilizing them is an entirely different ballgame. Glass stairs alone are scary, but with no handrails, in a narrow spiral, in a funnily-shaped building? Tough call wait and that is calling for somebody to be in a world of hurt.
Facebook / Allison Beer McKenzie
Fortunately enough, this looks more like a decorative piece than a staircase perfect for functionality. But still, one has to wonder what the original intention of the design must have been.
Balconies Aren’t Always What They’re Cracked Up to Be
Oh, and you know what else is bound to give way, this third-story wooden balcony held up by just two wooden stilts (not even two-by-fours)?! Yipes! A professionally built deck will be built using his own two hands — but also to code, bleeding those safety regulations into every plank he uses. That bowing of those stilts doesn’t exactly instill a ton of confidence that those are going to stand for very long, but hey, at least they can enjoy it while they can.
An architect is totally in their right mind to be saying this stuff and at the end of the day, if the third floor wants a deck or deck then this is just another reason why working with an architect is better.
Either Everything Is Marble, or the Designer Was Going Marbles to Get This Pattern
There is much wrong with that kitchen. The most apparent is the cupboard design pattern — which is either just all the marble you can muster that probably weighs an additional several thousand pounds, or a cupboard design that looks like a murder scene that didn’t get cleaned up all that well. The design is certainly 90s DIY meets one of a kind but one needs to wonder whether the countertops were left uncovered due to not enough being available, or if the designer said, “Enough.
A kitchen that looks like it was constructed from nothing but raw bacon, is definitely a choice, but probably the least of their worry thanks to the clearance from stovetop to microwave.
Certain designs simply astound you.
Everybody has that one person who is always going to suggest that they know a friend who can do the job cheaper and at certain times, you believe them. Mistake number one (unless that friend is a proven and trusted professional) is always choosing the familiar business. No one wants to have a weird-looking floor that we know the internet will mock it.
In this case, it is best to pony up for some decent carpet and likely let a pro handle it, not a friend of a friend.
Bathroom Visits Will Certainly Be Quick Over Here
Sure, we’re all in favor of re-use and renovation of the old building products, and a little waste not, one great in every corner of your building, but a lift shaft is rather a devilment for anybody who suits giddiness! The malicious joy that imagining the panic it inspires in those rushing for a toilet must put on the face of the designer must happen at least twice a day. This is most certainly one of the flashier examples on this list.
Facebook / Allison Beer McKenzie
A design choice, keeping the shaft below reasonably well-lit though, thus letting you know that it really is a pretty good depth down there.
For When You Really, Really Need A Room Well Lit
You’re likely well acquainted with these infamously shaped lights across the internet by now; someone was a bit of a fan. But how much lighting within one room is really required? At what point does one ask, Are there too many lights? When that power bill comes in at the end of the month? Or when they go out one after the other, all of a sudden there’s seven bulbs that need changing in one room?
Facebook / Allison Beer McKenzie
Its design is hotly debated, but one thing that everyone can agree on is that this serves two to three of this size rooms at the most. Just hope it’s not wave soon.
There are numerous doors leading to nothing at all.
One can not, after all, really ever want to work if they cannot acknowledge the fact that they can not ever get there, which makes this bad office nook perfect. “Unable to sign on during WFH days, boss, because commutting to my home office is a life-threatening experience.” We just know that’s what this person texts their manager every day they work from home. I mean what the hell is even the purpose of this nook?
How do they get to it? Do they erect an ever-so-special, life-threatening bridge every time they want to cross the staircase to their desk? Or maybe there’s a zipline?
You’ll Need More Than a Simple Stool to Reach Those Cabinets
You ask the people who are unsatisfied with their kitchen, and most would say sth along the line of, “It’s not big enough” or “There’s not enough cupboard space”. But if you then ask this person why they detest their kitchen, we put a bet down that their response would be, “too much storage, and the storage is stupidly hard to reach!” I mean, come on — just look at those manic cabinets and their towering height!
Facebook / Allison Beer McKenzie
Anytime we have to reach up there, we’d require a safety harness and a hard hat. And of course, a ten-foot ladder within easy reach.
So Many Doors Leading to… Nowhere?
This is definitely among the more bizarre objects on this list. That’s a total of five doors we can see just from this angle, plus two very large vents. We have so many questions. Are both of the vents working? And all of them doors are connected to what? Why is one of them sideways? Who designed this? Who lives here? Why? Regrettably, we have none of the answers.
Or perhaps the person who threw this together is a big fan of the classic animated feature Monster’s Inc. Perhaps all these doors lead back to that place of childhood fantasy. Or perhaps they were simply being scrappy.
The Perfect House for Anyone Who Doesn’t Want to Use Their Garage for Cars
Here it looks solid from the outset. Great architecture, great window placement – looks like any other suburban dwelling. Ditch the driveway, though — that one goes to a dead end on the side of the house, not the garage. We suppose this may only be an issue if you intended to use the garage for, you know, its original purpose.
However, if you are not care about the leaving your car out of vhouse while raining, shining, snowing, or in other natural disasters, this may be the best house for you!
No Baseboard, No Problem
Its so annoying to realise someone had such a good idea about something and a small detail ruined the entire experience. The designer of this staircase had great taste in flooring and wall/baseboard/floor colors. In fact, the intention here was sound. But whoever they hired to put in their baseboard totally butchered it. What is going on here? Though it was close enough and perfect.
Facebook / Allison Beer McKenzie
And think of all the effort it must have taken to have cut baseboard pieces to fit each of these stairs like this. Having to work so hard, for so long and to get it so wrong;
Instead of getting a gorgeous deck, they settled for this.
This is the reason why it is very important to seek professional opinion when you start such huge projects. It was supposed to be an easy deck build flow but turned out to be an awkward, poorly done shit stack all because the amateurs were in charge. They maybe even ruined the house’s structural integrity with whatever wooden poles they decided could go through the room this way. We would bet this deck was built without permits.
When there are permits involved in building this deck, I can almost guarantee this construction violates what ever said permits were calling for.
Is It Just Us or Is This House a Bit Tilted?
Yep, this house is 100% leaning all the way over. No, it’s not another Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum building. It’s a real house, but if we ever had to wager a guess, we wager our dollars that the right professionals were not consulted on the planning and building of this thing. And if so, they should demand a refund, don’t you think?
This is not only a risk to the residents of a crooked home, but to all of their neighbors as well! And we REALLY don’t wanna guess what it’s gonna cost them to fix.
Those Impossible to Reach Doors on the Internet Are Fake, Right?
We all remember those images online a while ago where doors high above escape anyone. However, if the owners like to avoid quality architecture, that could still happen. If you don’t have a good designer to measure correctly and lay out the floor plan, things can get a bit weird (like doors not lining up with where they should correctly). Sadly, others figure out their error far too late and just have to deal with it.

This case is a new level of “watch your step”. And let’s hope this isn’t a person’s bedroom where they spend long nights working and come home always drained.
The Inaccessible Foyer
This is the kind of thing you can look at but cannot touch. And not because this is such an expensive and famous piece of art. You could try – but no – you’re just not going to reach it unless you plan on lugging out a ladder every dang time. This is a foyer—if you can even call it that—that serves no purpose over the front door to this home. They might as well have just made the ceiling above the front door, higher.
Facebook / Things that are not aesthetic
We’re pretty sure whoever flowers at home is going to appreciate some high ceilings rather than a platform with which they can barely reach without a total pain in the rear end.
An Incomplete Foyer Makes a Perfect Racetrack for Toddlers
The stairs will be a bit of a safety issue for the small kids, but there are some other concepts for what this area could be workflow. The vacant space is not just hard to behold, but you have to question if any thought ever went into what should have gone there in the first place. Was which meant to have spaces? Bookshelves? Maybe some tables and displays with attitude?
Facebook / Allison Beer McKenzie
Whatever it is, an empty landing for a two-level staircase is likely only going to attract dust bunnies, so fingers crossed the owner has filled-out the space a bit by now.
A Room for People Who Just Love Stairs
Have a passion for stairs? For little stairwells? Even those that are absolutely pointless and go nowhere real? Well, then this might just be the ideal room for you! Seriously, those little sets of stairs that go nowhere; straight up just a fucking waste. Plus there are plenty of bright, bright lights on the ceiling, to ensure that you head never missteps! But what, exactly, is this room for, seriously?
Facebook / Allison Beer McKenzie
Or the people it was designed for and why it needs so many small stairs? Do they have something to hide? Please tell us, they have a reason-for-being, or we are going to freak out.
It’s Nice That ADA Bathrooms Are Equipped To Provide Musical Accompaniment Nowadays
The ever-important Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is meant to prohibit discrimination of individuals with disabilities, and part of that includes making sure buildings are built with disabled individuals in mind. Although this bathroom very well looks like it was designed to begin with, that whole piano thing really just kills the whole point and makes it even more challenging for handicapped people to successfully use the toilet at all. At least they can take along one music-maker to entertain them.
I hope this piano is just a temporary storage, but it is well suited for another kind of movement.
Cut Twice, Measure Once, Is How the Adage Goes… Or Does It?
Few people know how much the size of a door can vary. Most doors are, more or less, close to the same width, but that is never a sure thing, and one always needs to make sure that a particular door can fit into the frame. Otherwise you’ll find yourself here. If the door’s too big or small, it’s never going to be able to shut properly, and this way, you won’t have privacy either, really.
At least this way you could know that it won’t have to be your pets with the nightly scratching at the bottom of the door to let them in.
This Renovation Leaves Us With so Many Questions
And on the face of it, there is nothing inherently alarming about this photograph. Looks like a bunch of fresh paint and moldings. Now that you look at it more closely, there is something off: bizarre finishes, out of whack asymmetrical stain built in shelves that make us jittery, and the elephant in the room: those cages. Is this an animal shelter or someone’s house? And if it’s a person’s home, what are those black cages living beneath their staircase?
Facebook / Allison Beer McKenzie
Thus, at first glance we saw nothing, at second glance, we were suddenly very worried. Those cages, whom or what is being placed in those cages, and for what reason? We need answers.
Some People Never Left the Barn They Were Born In
Farmhouse style homes and aesthetics are amazing and so appealing that one person maybe takes just a little bit too far. Give me a bathroom that is metal and gray enough, and at what point does the designer stop and think, enough is enough? It’s different, to be sure, and if it were only a garden shed/ Zen retreat on a hot day, one can only imagine the sweaty skin experience of a bathtub, as well as the heat that comes off the room in the summer months.
Then again, some enjoy the thrill of a constant adrenaline rush, so who are we to judge when someone aims for tetanus each time they attempt to urinate?
Maybe the Owners Were Only Born Halfway in a Barn?
Although tons of people dig the whole farmhouse look and vibe, perhaps chopping a barn in half and dubbing it residential is not exactly how to house house? This ominous air to the whole feel of the house is also helped by the dark wood, no windows, and the tall trees that shade the place, but we’re sure skaters love this place. Or, to take a more sinister view, this could all be part of an elaborate security rouse: create a home that looks from the outside to be worthless to anyone else.
The absence parking exits the winter slope of loss of life a the winter park of spring are well-suited for the locality of the spring might area avoided the winter demand of season, darned national mentality loss of life and roof.
A Hall of Mirrors Makes for Great Entertainment While Using the Restroom
Now, some things you trip on, and they get worse the more you examine them. Between the rounded restroom design being one of the oddest selections to the bright pink colorway, this one is definitely a little more tricky to digest. As if to truly cap it off, all of the mirrors offer you multiple iterations of yourself and then bounce off of each other in the process, which is just dizzying.
Facebook / Allison Beer McKenzie
This will undoubtedly be the last place someone will helpfully wander into if they have had a drink — and a few too many.
The Perfect Bathroom for Multi-Taskers
This is the bathroom for those whose level of desire has risen to include the capability to use the toilet whilst simultaneously showering. If that sounds strange to you, then hey, welcome to the party—you’re in the majority. Well, now that we’ve established that no one needs to go to the bathroom and shower at the same time, what is the point of this strange arrangement? Who can explain it to us?
And to top it all off, there was a massive window beside the toilet/shower combo! So not only do you have to pee in your toilet and linger around it before every shower, you also have to get naked. Weird!
In Case You’re Unsure Where to Push the Door
You know those doors that you always pull when they’re push or always push when they’re pull? No, this is not one of those doors The silver plating occupying half of it is a blatant and loud indication that yes, you must press this door. Better yet, it reminds you exactly where to push on this door. As a matter of fact, The plate is too big, which makes us wonder whether you need to force it.
We can’t be the only ones who feel that way, right?? If we were leaving this restroom, you would likely be drawn (no pun intended) to force this door open with all of your strength.
The Thinnest Doors Hide The Darkest Secrets
These doors have baffled many for years, and a lot have wondered where these leads and what lies behind these. Let’s be honest, a person can hardly get through any of those things. In all likelihood, they’re probably just storage closets or closets to the water supply or one of the electrical boxes. Even so, it begs the question of why they are so small when they could have simply been put somewhere else or given a larger space.
Facebook / Allison Beer McKenzie
I mean, of course, the story ends up being far less banal than we imagined, but have you rule out a magical opening to another world, even having a dark place?
At Least Getting to the Toilet in an Emergency Won’t Be a Problem
One of the guest-unfriendliest designs in an Airbnb Now with a master bath attached to the bedroom there should be no problem, right? Wrong; that bath has another door which opens to the outside. Even worse, that is the only way in and out off the Airbnb. I mean, sure the bathroom door isn’t only a door to the outside world, but the front door? Eww.
Hopefully, the bathroom has been useful on at least one other occasion and all the effort is fruitful at the end of the day. Needless to say, we wouldn’t choose this for our own home!
Sometimes, You Just Need That Extra Space
We all have different tastes. Some like it rustic, some like bare-face brick walls, others like a high-tech, modern design. Some people like a door that looks like somebody went to town with a hammer a dozen times until a human could wriggle through. It’s definitely different — and some may actually appreciate the look of a crumbling wall — though it’s certainly an option for those looking for additional storage. Whether this is the final product, who knows?
With all this debris around could this be some sort of an exhibit, but one can only imagine how not surprised you would be to find a homeowner celebrity having this.
