Top 10 Ugliest Carpets in the World

Carpet can be beautiful. It has the potential to add warmth to a space to make it feel more inviting, and it can enhance a room or act as a focal point in a building.

Other times, however, carpet can be downright ugly. Be it due to poor taste or more diabolical purposes, ugly carpet is everywhere. We decided to gather together some of the very worst that we’ve come across online. We don’t blame you if you avert your eyes… but if you’re brave enough, let’s gets started! In no particular order…

‍1. Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)

Carpet designer 1: “Should we make this one brown, or yellow? Should we include circles or lines or rectangles?” + Carpet designer 2: “ALL OF THE ABOVE!”

‍2. Portland International Airport

This carpet has grown a cult following (it has its own Facebook Page… and Twitter account), but we don’t really understand the appeal, to be quite honest.‍

‍3. Bellagio (Las Vegas, Nevada)

Have you ever looked at a stereogram before? They’re images that look like patterns at first glance, but hide 3D images when stared at for a period of time. I think there’s a 3D image in this carpet.‍

‍4. Phoenix, Arizona home

This could have just been hideous, plain turquoise carpet. But no. They had to go and spill their coffee all over it…‍

‍5. Harrah’s (Las Vegas, Nevada)

They might be trying to channel the sky portion of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings with this carpet. Except very poorly and in shades of red instead of blue.‍

‍6. Phoenix, Arizona home

This pattern might not be too painful as a rug. A small rug.‍

‍7. Seattle, Washington movie theater

I wonder what color this carpet REALLY is – under all the layers of spilled soda, popcorn butter, and dirt…‍

‍8. Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center (Nashville, Tennessee)

The good news: If you spill the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup you’re eating, no problem – it will blend right in! The bad news: No one will ever want to visit your convention center (let alone eat in it), due to the carpet choice.‍

‍9. Sun City West, Arizona home

If you’re in the mood for a picnic, we know a great spot! Right on the grass in this livin—wait a second. Grass doesn’t grow in living rooms…‍

‍Last but not least, our personal favorite…

10. Peppermill Fireside Lounge (Las Vegas, Nevada)

Having planets in the sky just doesn’t cut it these days. We need them on the floor, too. And throw in some rainbows and comets while you’re at it!

‍So, I think we’ve learned a valuable lesson here, folks: Never trust the interior decorating opinions of people who pick out the carpets for airports, casinos, movie theaters, and convention centers!
