There are all sorts of things you have to do when you’re selling your home<\/a>. In this modern Internet age, one of those things is putting photos of your house<\/a> up on real estate<\/a> agents’ websites. Now we’re not all professional photographers, but most of us<\/a> can take a decent stab of capturing images of the rooms in our houses without making them look like a serial killer lives there. There are a few simple rules – don’t make the pictures creepy, don’t be hiding somewhere in the pictures, if the decor looks like an acid trip, paint the walls, don’t have a severed human head prominently on display on the kitchen table … that sort of thing. It’s easy when you think about it, and most people can just about manage to take decent photos that will help sell their house to others.<\/p>\n

We said most people. That doesn’t mean all<\/em> people …<\/p>\n

\"estate2\"<\/p>\n

Remember what we said about acid trips up there? This homeowner clearly has not followed that advice. There’s only one word to describe the decor in this room – monstrous.<\/p>\n

\"estate4\"<\/p>\n

Either the person who took this picture had the wrong setting set on their camera, or this bathroom is haunted by the evil ghost of a toilet.<\/p>\n

\"estate6\"<\/p>\n

Nice wash room leading out into a spacious garden there. I could definitely see myself living … wait, what? Who the hell’s that hiding behind the door? Run! Run away! AAAAAGH!<\/p>\n

\"estate8\"<\/p>\n

Nothing brings a main bedroom together quite like a toilet staring balefully out of the window. Very moody. Very … modern?<\/p>\n

\"estate10\"<\/p>\n

When you haven’t the room to sit under your table umbrella outside, why not bring it indoors where you can be shaded from the lightbulb in your kitchen.<\/p>\n

\"estate12\"<\/p>\n

Nothing entices potential buyers more than a photograph of the Amazon<\/a> Rain Forest in the back yard of the house they’re thinking of buying. We wouldn’t be surprised to discover David Attenborough making a nature documentary in there!<\/p>\n

\"estate14\"<\/p>\n

Dead deer? Check. Dead fish? Check. Chillin’ monkey? Check. Quick sale? Er, maybe not.<\/p>\n

\"estate1\"<\/p>\n

The artwork really brings the room together. No, really. It’s lovely. Honestly<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"estate3\"<\/p>\n

“The house has a fully-fitted, spacious kitchen and dining area. The only problem is it’s attached the ceiling.”<\/p>\n

\"estate5\"<\/p>\n

For Sale: Cabin. Would suit diving enthusiasts, marine biologists and Aquaman.<\/p>\n

\"estate7\"<\/p>\n

They were clearly going for the whole ‘If you come take a look at the house, we WILL kill you’ vibe with this photo.<\/p>\n

\"estate9\"<\/p>\n

The trains are always watching. Watching, watching and waiting.<\/p>\n

\"estate11\"<\/p>\n

Nothing sells a room quite like a nice clean bathroom suite and a prominently-displayed firearm.<\/p>\n

\"estate13\"<\/p>\n

‘House includes fully fitted bathroom. Would suit sufferer of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.’<\/p>\n

\"estate15\"<\/p>\n

Nope. We don’t know what this all about.<\/p>\n

\"estate16\"<\/p>\n

Well if nothing else, it certainly provides a talking point!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
