Originally, the ‘clear plastic cover over the couch’ trend had a very simple and functional reason: you could protect your furniture while still being able to look at it. However, many designers just adopted this as a home decor trend, and it’s definitely overstayed its welcome.
The cover does lengthen and maximize the life of your furniture, but it also looks like you’re living in a furniture store where everything is on display and in its original wrapping.
Murder Scene
When you first look at this picture, it looks like an image that was pulled from a police crime scene investigation, or maybe a horror movie. We're thinking "Psycho," but that was a shower so maybe not. But even though it looks like someone was stabbed to death on the bed, believe it or not, that red stuff is actually roses.
And when you squint and look a little closer, the roses start to become clearer. If this guy (or girl) was trying to be romantic, he or she failed miserably. It does make for a great story to tell in their future, though!
It's a Bit Tight
Sure, many bathrooms have toilets and showers in them. Usually, though, they are at least separated by some kind of partition. As you can see here, there is absolutely nothing separating the shower from the toilet, apart from some steps. But that's not even the biggest fail in this photo.
Clearly, the designer didn't take into account that people of many different shapes and sizes might need to use the bathroom. And yet, the "room," if you can even call it that, is so narrow that you can very easily put one hand on each wall. We're not going to lie, we do like the marble though.
That’s One Way to Solve A Problem
What to do when you have a fire hydrant installed where you need your stair rail to go? Definitely not this! Sure, the curved railings fit perfectly around the hydrant. Can’t fault them there.
But we’re dying to know what their plan of action is if they ever need to actually use the hydrant. Here’s hoping that the building has an eternally fire-free future!
Enough With the Wicker
Wicker furniture should always stay on the outside of your home. Unfortunately, during the ‘80s and ‘90s, interior design trends encouraged people to bring their rickety furniture inside the house.
Beyond being entirely uncomfortable for actual lounging, wicker furniture always looks a little out-of-place in an indoor space. Since that’s what your wicker furniture is made of, why ruin your indoor aesthetic with these pieces?
