The number of well-designed buildings, interiors and items you see in a day is impossible to calculate.
But it’s not the good items that stand out: it’s the poorly executed design decisions that grab the attention.
These failed designs were photographed by social media users from around the world and collected in a funny gallery by Bored panda.
One of the unexplained designs is a photo of a pillar built directly in front of a chair in a church.
Another photo shows a public bathroom, with the urinals placed awkwardly in front of the barn doors.
Perhaps this ill-placed support bar will ruin the dining experience for those in this eatery, presumably in North America
And another bathroom fail shows how the designer decided to put a slatted door in front of the toilet — making the experience more public than one might hope.
Meanwhile, a dining facility built into a building with a slanted roof shows how the slanted beams run uncomfortably in front of diners’ faces.
Here, FEMAIL shares some of the most inexplicable design flaws from around the world that will leave you wondering what they were thinking…
Anyone using the furthest cubicle may want to make sure no one is using the urinal, inexplicably placed right in front of the barn door
That’s okay, maybe this particular churchgoer wasn’t interested in anything other than the back of this rather misplaced pillar…
This bowling alley, supposedly in Bangkok, has a somewhat obscene design when it comes to how the bowling balls come out of the hippo
This hotel in Iceland doesn’t exactly make it easy for guests to find their floor when using the confusingly labeled elevator
Nothing beats placing the toilet cubicle in the middle of the classroom – that way students only have to move a few meters in either direction whether they are studying, eating or going to the toilet
If fluorescent ceiling lighting isn’t enough, why not complement it with a giant chandelier, as spotted in this office, presumably in North America
Most people want privacy when they go to the toilet. For some reason, the designer decided to ignore that fundamental fact and opt for a slatted door instead…
Nothing beats a nice, relaxing meal. Perhaps whoever designed this hanging knife decoration wanted to add an edge of danger?
Some people are terrified of going to the dentist. Perhaps this image of Sponge Bob in a dentist who is presumably in North America will ease the anxiety?
Let’s just hope no one forgets to run this faucet because there doesn’t seem to be anywhere for the water to go… except the floor
Anyone in a hurry to get to the door might need to take a moment to think carefully about exactly which flight of stairs to go up and down to get out…
