We all want to take pride in our homes, but these people have made some questionable design choices . From squiggly doorways to furniture that the cat can't wait to scratch, we've collected a whole bunch of utterly bizarre home decorations. Furniture with extra functions is always a selling point for people. But then again, would you really want the stairs that come built-in with drawers? At first, that sounds like a fantastic idea. Who doesn't want extra storage, right? But then again, how do…

Home is where the heart is, and it's also where all of your strangest belongings remain. No one knows this better than folks who have jobs that require them to randomly step foot inside people's homes , often with very little warning. Say, for example, a plumber.

It's because they're fragile in a bunch of different ways. If you pull a flowers' petals, it's done for. If you forget to water it for a few days, it'll do a dramatic wilt. If…

The thing about rooms is that nothing feels wrong with one until something totally is. We've all seen enough bathtubs to know that they shouldn't be carpeted, and a kitchen that's designed to only fit a backwards oven is somehow anxiety inducing. Also what's the deal with people putting bathtubs and Jacuzzis on display in a main living area? What was going on in there? Here are some more rooms with bad vibes.
