THERE is bad taste and then there is this. These people need to watch a few more design shows to get it right. Here’s the most disturbing interior designs to ever be photographed.

HOME is where the heart is but some people’s hearts must just be plain disgusting — or on acid.
These are a few of our favourite interior designs, created with so much love it is almost overwhelming. Taste is personal, but it can often be improved.
Here’s what not to do when you’re pretending you’re a contestant on The Block.
Although mid-century design may be making a comeback, with bamboo couches and ferns being bought by the truckful, coupling the trend with fairy floss pink isn’t doing anyone a favour. And your mum thought Boogie Nights was offensive.
Your daughter may be a princess to you. But don’t insult her tastebuds before she has time to become design aware. This tragedy ruined an entire house.
We love the advertisement focused on all the benefits of this torture chamber: “Full private bath, walk in closet, neutral carpet”.
We’re a fan of wallpaper as much as the next 1970s-inspired interior designer but Florence Broadhurst is turning in her grave at the sight of this travesty. Design tip: Never, ever match your bedspread to your walls. Actually, why do you still have a bedspread?
Clowns scare little children. They also scare adults. They also destroy bathrooms. Just no.
“A room full of Lego!” they said. “It will be cool”, they said. Don’t destroy your son’s reputation before they have a chance. Theme rooms can be life changing when done with some artistic talent. Hire an expert. Save your son’s life.
Granny died in 1959. It is time for a refurb.
The reminder to survive the day does not go unnoticed in this cement hell.
Framed pictures can add character to a room. They can highlight times past and make them into a worthwhile reminder for times to come. Five hundred framed photos of flower sketches doesn’t cut it. It makes you look dead inside.
Sometimes all your favourite things just don’t work together. You need a focus in the room and unfortunately, that yellow cushion is not it and Jesus can’t save you.
Customised book shelves can complete a room, and make it click together. Attaching customised book shelves to your customised lounge and your customised desk is probably going a little too far. Oh, and Austin Powers called, he wants his rug back.
Macramé may be hipster cool, but patterns on mirrors are definitely not. Or grandfather clocks. And while you’re at it, vases don’t go on the floor.
Wood can create a beautiful, natural feature in a room or it can destroy it. This is the latter. Keep the features simple and focused, save a few trees.
Art should stay on the wall. It should not become your interior. Picasso says no.
Everyone wants to live like a king. It is just that most kings have an interior designer.
