Not everyone can be the worlds best contractor. Mistakes happen… Or, simply laziness happens. These are some of the words renovation faux pax that will make your brain hurt.
The Worst Arch Ever
On first glance, it’s not terrible. But then, you see it. And you can’t stop looking at it. Then you only ever see the horrible, crooked, uneven archway. Imagine living with this thing!
Doorway, But Make It Crooked
Some psychopath decided that this door would work on an angle with uneven doors. They were wrong, and this is horrible to look at.
Centering? Who Needs It
The architect of this place decided that centering the front door is for chumps and decided to keep it askew… Curb side appeal is at 0.
Graphic Design Nightmare
It looks weird because it is weird. The rest of the sentence is in one font, while that final ‘g’ is in a different one. Why anyone would do this is beyond me.
Upside Down Cabinets
For those who don’t know, having upside down cabinets like these are especially hard since the divett that you use to open them is now on the top of the cabinet. Look luck!
Why Would You Do This
Whoever put this manhole cover back on could have at least tried…
It Was So Simple…
This one wasn’t even hard to do correctly… What a painful sight!
Consult The Blueprints
Once again, the front of the house was ruined. How does something like this happen to such a gorgeous home?
Did They Even Try?
It might look more normal on the inside, but can we really trust that?
Miscommunication?
There was a special little spot cut out for this outlet and yet… Something went wrong. Now, there’s an awful cut out in the molding for no reason. Tragic.
Major Accident
The person who constructed these just had a bit of a brain fart…
How Could You?
This could have been avoided. Instead, this house remains forever stained by this horrific alignment.
So Close Yet So Far
The fact that these corners don’t line up actually hurt my soul. What a travesty.
Installing It Straight Was Too Hard, Huh?
This is just pure laziness. Obviously, the person installing this messed up and didn’t bother to fix it. That’s a pretty weird way to sit on the toilet!
It Juuuust Fits
…Sort of… The lid doesn’t really fit on the toilet, but those are just minor details, right?
Someone Should Get Fired
Apparently, a stone layer thought that putting a swastika on the walkway was funny. Not so much, they probably lost their job over this one!
Miscounting
You were so close… And, at the same time, so far. The landscapers really couldn’t have put another bush down? Really?
Arborists vs Stone-layers
Instead of using the already-made plots, the landscaper decided to cut out the brick and plant the trees that way… Sure, whatever floats your boat.
Trick Step!
This is a for sure way to fall on your face while going down the stairs. Why would anyone do this?
Just A Bit Off
The longer you look at it, the less it makes sense. how did they mess it up so bad? There’s just a lot going on here…
Why Would Anyone Do This
This is one of those mistakes where you have to sit back and ask yourself, “How did this happen?” Putting down tile is probably super tedious and boring, but they couldn’t have fixed this?
Double Light
You know, there light switch covers that have room for two switches but… This works, too.
Close But No Cigar
Although, this is done well, so it’s kind of nice to look at… But, still, we’d rather it be perfect, ya know?
How Am I Pulling This?
Hopefully that’s the wrong sign… If you really do have to pull on these doors, you’re basically kind of screwed. No way of getting in there!
Wiggly Line of Lights
This doesn’t even seem like a design choice, but it was a bizarre bout of negligence.
So Close!
This doesn’t seem like it was that hard to get right and somehow… It got messed up.
At Least It’s There
Just in case you randomly need that handrail in that part of the hallway, it’s there for you. It just looks a little weird!
Who Even Cares Anymore?
Maybe this was supposed to look cool? Because, well, it really doesn’t.
Just Try To Wash Your Hands
This sink is literally challenging you to try and wash your hands… Go on, you probably can’t.
Doing It Anyway
Apparently, whoever installed this fan figured that the walls wouldn’t be a problem… They were technically right…?
The Fridge Gets Its Own Room
Something tells me they forgot to put the fridge in the kitchen… Problem solved?
Your Own Waterfall
As long as it fills up the tub it kind of gets the job done… It’s not too bad, but definitely a bad mistake.
It’s Good Enough, Okay
There’s no real reason for this spout to be so extra and ridiculous, but there it is, in all of its glory.
These Are Stairs
This is the worst carpeting for stairs… You literally cannot tell that these are stairs. Enjoy your tumble!
That Tricky Last Step
This will be so fun to break your ankle on, definitely a great idea.
Is This A Joke To You?
This had to have been a joke for whoever did this… It’s absolutely not fair to have to look at this every day. What a nightmare.
Be Careful!
This architect decided that this home absolutely needed this guard rail. Seems like a bit of a waste of money! And it’s awkward looking.
The Very Impenetrable Gate
Must keep this gate CLOSED and LOCKED to keep everyone inside safe… It’s very important that you follow these instructions.
That Natural Lighting Though!
Yeah, this was definitely worth it, wasn’t it? There are so many questions with this one, but the main one would be: “Why?”
Because: Why Not?
Aligning the stairs with the walls? That’s for chumps. Spending more money in a tiny bit of railing? Life hack.
Make It Work, Designers
This desk just absolutely needed to go against this wall, so the owner decided to cut out part of the window sill to make it work… That’s a bit extra.
Washer and Dryer Included!
You just won’t be able to use it. Unless you move the oven over… If it can be moved.
Single Room Living
You can use the toilet and keep an eye on your popcorn at the same time. Shower time? No problem, everything is right there. Totally sanitary.
Privacy Who?
Why not take a bubble bath while your family is enjoying their dinner? You says you can’t?
Workaholic Much?
If you can’t seem to tear yourself away from your work, even having a bathroom break can be painful. This is the perfect solution: Bathroom office!
Unbreakable Toilet?
Apparently, this person’s toilet will never break so they just installed a shelf over the top of it. Get me one of these!
Sneaky Toilet Paper
If you can’t find the toilet paper holder, just try and look around. Sometimes, it could be hiding in the cabinet!
Why Even Have the Door?
A classic design flaw. How does someone even fix this? Just throw out the whole bathroom and start again.
Hope You Can Reach
Also, what happens when you take a shower? Do you have to take the toilet paper out so it doesn’t get wet? This is all sorts of confusing…
No One Gets a Balcony
What’s even the point of having these? Looks like they just wasted a good amount of money…
What. Is. The. Point.
Why have a garage if you… Can’t even… Use it.
Pure Laziness
I feel like putting up these door stoppers is the easiest thing to do… How come people keep messing it up?
That’s A Great Way To Pinch Your Hand
They could have used literally any other type of doorknob for this to work… Why chose the one type that doesn’t work?
Hope You Don’t Need These Drawers
In what world was this an okay thing to do? Waste of money and waste of space…
Jump!
We’re unsure where the miscommunication was… Was it the stair guy or the door guy? The world may never know…
What a Useful Driveway
There are so many things wrong here… From the looks of it, someone planted the tree after the garage was built and possibly midway through the driveway being done… But then, they just stopped the driveway? It looks finished? What’s happening?
No One Shall Pass
Bike lane? No way. Pedestrian lane? Forget about it.
A Door For the Very Tall
The best part about this picture is that this guy was so enthralled by this floating door that he wanted a picture with it. Love it.
A Bit Dangerous
This doesn’t seem terribly safe, right? Does no one else think that? Okay.
What Even is The Point
What. Is. The. Point. What is this room? Why is the bathroom so close tot he front door? Who designed this monstrosity?!
It’s Safe
That kind of looks like a hot tub, right? Either way, it’s probably up to code.
Missing the Point Of The Double Sink
If the faucet can’t reach the other side of the sink then… Why… have it…
Just a Bit Off
Not only is this slanted, but the placement of the window screens are as erratic as they are ugly.
Nice Try, Though
Someone wanted to put a staircase there but it just didn’t work, so they added the long pathway. Apparently, they couldn’t be bothered to remove the stairs.
Just For Show
It’s pretty obvious that the tree has been there longer than the house… Why they thought to put the garage in front of the garage is beyond me.
A Half Bath
This is what they really mean by a half bathroom… You only get half of everything!
No Escaping For You
This person must have done something wrong in order to not have access to this very obvious fire escape…
Problem Solved
It’s fine, theres a chair there. It still works.
Bit of a Tight Squeeze
You can manage that, right? Just hop over it.
This Window Was Unnecessary
We’re assuming that the window was there before the chimney… Hopefully.
Making It Work
Although this gives you no privacy as you’re using the John, it is a solution. Not a smart one, but still, a solution.
My Brain Hurts
The worst part about this fail is that it could have been so easily avoided… And yet, it wasn’t.
No Driveway Access, Sorry
Unless you want to maneuver around this poll every day, this place may not be for you…
Just a Bit Steep
Try not to bottom out or lose control of your car while heading up this drive-hill.
Just Be Careful
You can do it just use caution and don’t be scared.
What A View
When you request a room with a view and you get… This.
It’s Art, Okay?
It makes this place that more interesting, alright? Have some culture.
Well That Didn’t Help
There’s a reason why storm drains should go at the lowest point in a park…
Easy Access
Not only does this look stupid, but it totally defeats the purpose of a fence…
Handicap?
This bathroom just spit in the face of every handicap person… This place should be thrown out.
