We’ve all owned ugly decor at one time or another. There’s no denying it.
Some of it stays around for years until we realise how truly revolting it is. And sometimes, sadly, we refuse to admit how wonderfully heinous some of our decor decisions are.
In today’s post I’m going to show you 12 of the worst ugly decor finds that I know many of us probably still own. Or at the very least, you grew up with them and your parents probably have no idea how wrong they’ve become.
So gather yourself and prepare to part ways with some of your finer homewares mistakes. I’d love to know if you own any of these ugly decor or furniture gems. I won’t judge you. OK, maybe just a little bit.
1. The Doll Toilet Roll Holder.
Because storing toot roll in your cupboard out of sight would be crazy!?
2. Decorative Toilet Seat Covers
What a style statement! Bonus points if they’re aquatic-themed.
3. Magazines Holders next to Toilets
This is not a place for reading!!! Get in, get out, do not linger.
4. Waterbeds of Any Kind
Nothing says ‘sexy’ like filling up your bed’s bladder before you get into it.
5. Blow-up Furniture
My first boyfriend owned one of these. The relationship lasted one month.
6. Live Love Laugh Decals
This is the most modern decorating mistake one can make. Remove them ASAP.
7. Clown Dolls
There is nothing creepier than a clown. Besides a clown collection. Burn all of them at once.
8. Knitted Coat Hangers
Forget ‘no wire coat hangers’. These are far uglier and must be stopped at once.
9. Fabric Tissue Box Holders
Even better if they feature florals and frills. The ultimate in Nanna vibes.
10. Paint Sponging
The ugliest treatment to ever hit a wall. It’s best you demolish your home if it has these.
11. Frogs that Croak as you Approach
Because just putting a doorbell at the front door seems too normal?
12. Doilies
Especially large ones used as tablecloths. There is no need for these to exist. Please terminate.
What’s your biggest ugly decor crime? I’d love to hear from you in the comments below. Do you own any of these gems? Don’t be shy – reveal your sins!
My grandmother had one of those toilet roll holders. Even as a child I used to think ‘Why?’
Yes I will pushback on knitted coathangers Chris. 99% of mi e wooden ones are covered in some way because I don’t want indents in my clothes when I go to wear them. They also hold clothes in place like camisoles and satin tops. But of course most men don’t wear them.
Good thing it’s 2019 now. Some of these might make a comeback!
haha you’re not wrong. Every time I write something off as hideous someone goes and makes an incredible, reinvented version of it!
I had weighed in on this controversial topic last year just after my knee surgery, however I’m going to have yet another crack at it because I feel people need to know; they cannot go on living there lives in this shameful state if somebody doesn’t call them out on it.
1. CARPET……in the bathroom; even worse the kitchen and YES I’ve seen it done. Who in their right mind does carpet in the bathroom or kitchen. One word for you all to ponder HYGIENE. Everytime I think of it I throw up in my mouth.
2. Scandinavia Decor ~ please please let this die; don’t keep it on life support any longer than you have to. I hate to tell those who’ve done it that those things you purchased at that big department store, well……everybody else has the same thing done exactly the same way. All you have to do is go on Instagram & every second post is ‘Scandi’ & in the comments something like this; ‘just loving my new scandi inspired room with these bargain finds’. Arghhh sorry hun YOU and EVERY 2nd household in Australia. So I could go on with many many abhorrent decor disasters, but I’ll let you off the hook. I’m going to get some breakfast (no carpet allowed!).
Come on Chris… the croaking frog is kinda quirky lol….at least if I am eating a double coat tim tam it looks a little better lol
haha no amount of Tim Tams is going to make the croaking frog look good!
