When it comes to design, we like to think that we’ve seen it all—the good, the bad, and the ugly. However, even after all of these years, the internet still manages to surprise us. Is ‘surprise’ the right word, though? We meant ‘shock!’
The ‘Bedrooms with threatening auras’ Facebook group features some of the worst, most horrifying bedroom design decisions ever. And it feels like the photos are threatening each and every one of us personally, promising to eat up our sense of good taste once they’re done snacking on our hopes and dreams.
Some of these designs look like they’d give us nightmares. While others seem like they wouldn’t let us fall asleep at all—we’d be tossing and turning, and keeping an eye out for ghosts and ghouls. Scroll down and remember to upvote the photos that made you go, ‘Thanks, I hate it!’ the most, Pandas. Were there any bedrooms that you’d be brave enough to sleep in? Let us know in the comments.
The ‘Bedrooms with threatening auras’ group was created back in October 2020, and has grown to encompass 45k members. The group is open to everyone and anyone who’d like to share some pics of truly god-awful bedrooms. It’s the kind of stuff that is likely to end up in design hell when the Rapture happens.
Sure, there’s no arguing about taste; but that doesn’t mean that tasteless designs can get off scot-free and remain unjudged. And judged they shall be!
The admins running the group point out that the group is called ‘Bedrooms with threatening auras’ and not ‘Pleasant bedrooms from Google.’ So the photos have to fit the mood. If it looks good, if it seems like a pretty neat place to take a nap, out it goes—there’s no room for comfortable and inspiring design choices here!
The group is all about inclusivity and creating a welcoming environment (ironically, the opposite of the atmosphere evoked by the images). And the admins ask people to be kind and polite to each other. What’s more, if you’re planning on sharing a horrendously un-bedroomish bedroom with the group, make sure to check the feed: don’t repost anything that’s been shared within the last month or so.
Bored Panda recently spoke about design, creativity, and inspiration with talented pie artist and all-around creative Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin. She told us that any designer or artist has to take the customers and the audience into consideration when making anything.
“I have a loose ‘three for them, one for me’ policy when it comes to my art. Riding emerging trends and tapping into the cultural zeitgeist certainly helps when you are trying to build a following.
And as much as I would love to just make what I want all the time, my art puts food on the table (figuratively and literally), so I have to pay attention to what the people respond most to,” the artist said that what she does has to resonate with the public. Read more from Bored Panda
