When choosing the furniture for your home, you usually do it with care. After all, you want to avoid making the wrong choices from both from an aesthetic and spatial point of view. And getting some pointers from professionals is not bad advice either.

Each house has its own quirks, a unique distribution of space and other characteristics which need to be considered when deciding to furnish or decorate it. Otherwise, you risk making mistakes that are not easily undone. But there are many who rush in and make these types of mistakes.

If you are curious to see some of these, check out the images below:

With such a guady and kitsch toilet one can only imagine what the rest of the house will look like. Surely someone "very creative" lives here.

Square loo, round lid. A toilet like this is certainly original, but the lid is completely useless.

Whoever decorated this room got a little too carried away. Was it a serial hoarder who did this?

And, finally, here is a display of furniture from the eighties - a historical period certainly not remembered for its sobriety. It's true that a touch of color in the home never hurts. This, however, is really a bit too much.

Have you seen other furnishing abominations like this in your travels?
