I’m just some dude – not much of an interior decorator. It’s simply not a skill set I’ve got, plus I’ve never had much of a budget to work with. But when things in that realm get bad enough, even I can tell.
Instagram user Dina Holland runs an account called “pleasehatethesethings” under the handle @honeyandfitz. Over a quarter million people follow to see her hundreds of posts on “absurd, ugly & just plain stupid things in home design.” It’s truly a masterpiece you can get lost in for hours, but here are 15 of my favorite examples.
15. Monkey business
I feel like an Indiana Jones villain is going to pop out and kill me if I get in this tub.

Ah yes, no kitchen is complete without an undead Bobcat watching over my mac & cheese.

I mean look, you do you, but…no thank you.

This is 100% in a cult compound somewhere.

It’s good to have a creative outlet.

I still don’t feel like I know a lot more about what to do with interior design, but maybe I know a little bit more about what not to do? That’s gotta be worth something, right?
What’s the worst design choice you’ve ever seen?
