It’s been awhile since I shared with you some of the more ridiculous creations in the design world. Today you can just sit back with your beverage of choice and scroll through these photos. I’ll bet anything there will be at least one or two that make you ask, “What were they thinking?”

A green thumb gone wild! I always recommend adding plants to a room to soften edges and add life however, this is a little crazy over the top much!

Worst Designs Ever
Do you find any of these examples of the sometimes supremely ridiculous in home decor to be ”the worst ever”? Which one do you think takes design to the extreme? Which one made you smile and think, “Really?!?!” Have you seen any photos of outrageous home decor during your web wanderings? We’d love to share a smile with you so send the photo or link to our email at solutions@YourDecoratingHotline.com.
Reader Questions
By the way, we’ve had a really busy couple weeks with answering reader questions. You guys are great and full of some really challenging issues. We’ll share them here and there as we can or as they tie in with other articles and themes. A common recurring theme seems to be color – what color, how to use color, what colors work together, etc. We’ll keep writing and sharing our tips on color, but we can help in lots of other ways too. Please keep sending us any and all of your questions – we love every chance to help and to build our community!

I’m excited to be finally posting online after all these years. There really is no mystery about it, is there? I just dropped by your blog and had to write something. I’m a recent college grad, journalism major if you must know, and I love photography. I’ve got my site up but it’s nothing to brag about yet. None of my stuff’s been posted. Soon as I figure out how to do that, I’ll spend the day posting my best pictures. anyway just thought I’d drop a line. I hope to return with more substantial stuff, stuff you can actually use. SPG
Welcome to the blogging world. If any of your photos are of rooms, accessories, vignettes or other home decor type things, we’d love to share them with our readers. Glad you’re reading us.
Just because it says “design” doesn’t make it “good” desigh…but, I guess it’s 5:00 somewhere…
So true and I actually find it entertaining how unreaslistic some of these things are and yet still called “design”. Thanks for reading Franki!
