It doesn't even go to the ceiling! Imagine the dust.

This is what gets me. If they were forced to have load bearing pillars there, I could at least try to understand making use of the space. What is even the point of these walls?!

Everyone is so god damn obsessed with “open concept” that they try to wedge it in to places it makes no sense. When we were looking at houses, this kind of thing was everywhere. There probably used to be an enclosed rather small kitchen and then they tore down the walls and there’s no where for the fridge. So the kitchen is now invading the living room so there’s no where for furniture to really fit and the openness is broken up by this dumb enclosure which ruins the openness anyway. And it probably sold for over the asking price.

Usually it’s a flipper which generally means they have no taste, glob on to Pinterest trends, and do everything as cheaply and janky as possible.

Sounds like my house. The previous owner did all of the decorating, and she was not talented. I've only recently bought the house so I keep wondering around and looking at bits and going, why the hell did you do that.

This is a mobile home.

My uncle had one with this layout in the early 2000s.

That's where we put the booze.

It's even pointed away from the kitchen??

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago

That's the shame part.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it? I think in the top right picture you are looking at the left side of the fridge not the back.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope, look at the floor pattern. You're looking at the back.

Detective skillz!

My cat would find a way to be up there all day

Looks like a good spot to lie down

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago

I'd totally paint that to look like a Tardis.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Needs a fourth wall and all painted black. Then it can teach all your apes how to use tools.

It's so egregiously bad that I kinda like it.

When the architect graduated from The Sims School of Design and Urbanism

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Should've painted it like Dr Who's TARDIS.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would remove the fridge, keep the box and explain nothing.

A toilet. Make people wonder.

You don't think they'd build a refrigerator nook at an odd angle in the middle of the room without installing an outlet too, do you?

And water line for the water dispenser

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You freeze my food on the top shelf of the refrigerator side, you go into solitary. Your shelf pops off dropping my condiments, you go in solitary. You beep at me for having the door open too long while I'm loading groceries into you, in solitary. Do not fuck with me, Whirlpool.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You tell me to replace the 7 year old water filter, believe it or not solitary. We have the best refrigerators because of solitary.

Who would think of this? It's so random.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

It looks a lot like a retrofit solution to the original kitchen designer never actually having used a kitchen. We've been house-hunting for a while and it's amazing how many newly fitted kitchens don't have space for a fridge. Or sinks butted up against the wall or the edge of a counter so you don't have anywhere to put the dirty dishes.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

This makes me nauseous.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's definitely to hide the back of the fridge which is ugly, that said I probably would have put it on the wall with the stove, and maybe moved the stove across if that was cramped.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Wow, at first I thought maybe they couldn't put the refrigerator space there because it was a shaft, but it looks like that entire section of wall is for the closet, so I really don't know what they were thinking here. Bizarre design. Looks like maybe the project was going out for bid when they realized they forgot to make room and this was the only solution they could come up with.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I hate this so much haha

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it me or does it look like it's impossible to open the doors?

That thing moves around on its own at night.

Is that how you're supposed to use fridge bought in Wallmart?
