A popular Instagram account displays the ugliest homes in the world — and the pictures are horrifying
- Home decor is usually a matter of personal taste, but there are a few instances where "ugly" is undisputed.
- @pleasehatethesethings is an Instagram account that documents the most epic fails in design and home decor.
- Some of the worst offenses are a blood-red bathtub, carpeted walls and ceilings, and a shower head that sprays the toilet.
Home decor is usually a matter of personal taste, but there are a few instances where "ugly" is undisputed.
The Instagram user @pleasehatethesethings is keeping tabs for the rest of us with an ongoing catalog of "Absurd, ill conceived & just plain stupid things in home decor."
Dina Holland is an interior designer based outside of Boston and her alternate social media account has taken off. Apparently people hate the same things she does — horrendous houses with humorous design flaws. Her account now has over 16,000 followers.
Holland's business account — @honeyandfritz — showcases work from Dina Holland Interiors. She said the origin of @pleasehatethesethings came from posting photos of designs she didn't like on her business account.
"Then people started messaging me the things they hate and I kept posting it to share," Holland told Business Insider. "It was going on for days and one of my followers was like, 'You need to make a whole other account for this.'"
Holland said the reaction has been mostly positive: "People think it's funny."
Holland previously told Architectural Digest these design disasters happen because "a lot of younger designers don't have the confidence to go in and say, 'No, that's not the right look.'"
From misplaced toilets to poor carpeting decisions, the design faux pas Holland highlights on her Instagram page all have one thing in common: They look terrible.
Below are some of the funniest design flaws featured on @pleasehatethesethings:
The color scheme may be harsh on the eyes, but at least there is knit carpeting for when you decide to walk on the ceiling.

Live. Laugh. Love. Garlic. All good wall-pasted quotes need a smelly clove.
