Home renovation is a tricky business. Sometimes people dive in with boundless enthusiasm, trusting their taste and instincts—only to end up with results that defy description. That's exactly what we've rounded up from Reddit: 22 epic home decor fails. You'll find it all here: a holiday-lace-clad toilet, a car tire sink, an armchair standing on ski legs, and a kitchen whose main centerpiece is a giant banana and a single egg. Take a look and try to figure out what went wrong.







The original poster planned to hang these mushroom-shaped chandeliers in their bedroom. Commenters unanimously talked them out of it.





A shower curtain that looks uncannily like a slab of raw beef. Would you dare hang this in your home?



Holiday decor made its way into every single corner of the apartment. Literally every corner.



The fridge was wrapped in a vinyl decal depicting a rustic barn with a cow. The homeowner called it "farmhouse style" and couldn't be happier.



The table rests on a sculpture of a nude woman with a snake. Biblical references in the dining room—a bold choice.



Needed to do something about that boring ceiling



Crucifixes cover all four walls from floor to ceiling. The homeowner sleeps here every night and feels totally comfortable.



A parrot and lemon chandelier spotted at an antique shop. The buyer calls it "artichoke style" and wears it like a badge of pride.



Dozens of recessed ceiling lights in a single room. The creator was inspired by *The Sims*—because as a kid, that was the ultimate sign of wealth.



A giant banana and a single egg on the wall. The homeowner insists it's "minimalist kitchen art."



A realistic, life-sized T-Rex head cost the homeowner about $500. He believes it "really brought the living room to life."

Hubby built a guest bathroom sink using a car tire and a gas pump nozzle. The water flows. No further questions.



Crooked tiles, sloppy grout, and a light switch slapped right in the middle. The creator asked for applause—the internet had other thoughts.



A bathroom themed after horror movie classic *The Shining*.



Would this furniture look good at a ski resort?



A soft drape replaces the door separating the toilet from the bathroom. According to the owner, it makes the space feel "cozier."



An inflatable sofa shaped like an endless tube, bought secondhand. It really brightened up the place.
