The key to good design is subtlety, but when something is badly designed it sticks out like a sore thumb – as these photographs prove.
People from around the world have shared the epic design fails they’ve spotted online – and Pleated Jeans collated the very worst into a hilarious gallery.
From hideous patterns to spaces that don’t function as they should, some design choices will leave you scratching your head.
The bizarre examples include bathroom wallpaper, spotted in the UK, with images of surveillance cameras plastered across the female hotel lavatory.
Meanwhile a theatregoer, in London, was told they would have a ‘slightly restricted view’ of the performance but they released that was an understatement when they arrived.

Elsewhere US student was astonished to see the worrying attempt her high school made to install a ramp for wheelchair users to access the cafeteria.

Elsewhere someone else discovered these were steps a little too late as the design helps them blend into the floor
One person, believed to be from the US, shared this sink, which is clean but designed to look like it’s full of mud
This hotel lobby sink drips water like rain drops which in theory look pretty but if one person uses it, it wastes enough for five people and it doesn’t provide a steady stream
Elsewhere wheelchair accessible toilets were but at the end of a stairway in a school that appeas to be in the US
