Interior design is tricky to get right. For many of us, living in rented accommodation means having to decorate around what's already in the room. This means that if some genius from yesteryear decided to put a sink in your living room then my goodness, you're just going to have to incorporate it as a coffee table or something.
If you own your own home and have free rein on how the decorating process unfolds, you'd better make sure your aesthetics are up to scratch. Because there's a new Instagram account out there and its mission is to showcase the biggest design disasters around.

Some people might deal with a too-bright overhead light by purchasing a dimmer bulb; others choose to erect a parasol and make summer last all year round. There might be snow on the ground outside, but it's piña colada time in here.
If eating off-brand cereal from a semi-clean bowl every morning is not where you want to be in life, consider installing a wildly ostentatious chandelier in your too-small kitchen to show everyone that, contrary to popular opinion, you are in fact very fancy indeed.
So was the dinosaur a hunting trophy too, or...?
This look outside, minus the bear? Very Don Draper during the California years. Marvellous. As your living room, though, it's more Roger Sterling mid-LSD trip.
"No man is an island. Except me. Because I sleep on one."
What did the goldfish do to deserve this?
Sex and the City has a lot to answer for: unrealistic expectations about sex, a generation of women's erratic behaviour in relationships, and an ongoing fetishisation of shoes. Stay safe, go barefoot.
Absolutely not.
