A nationwide search has seen a hideous washroom with a brown suite and floor-to-ceiling floral tiles crowned Britain's worst bathroom.
Even the most talented estate agent would struggle to put a positive spin on these bathrooms, which are anything but 'suite'.
Hundreds of Brits submitted photos of their bathrooms in a competition run by Victoria Plumbing to find the worst in the country.
TV star Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen plumbed the depths of interior design to whittle them down to a final four.
The public then voted the brown bathroom in Norwich as Britain's worst - turning their noses up at its suite, taps, badly tiled bath and overall feel of the 1970s.

This bathroom with brown suite and flowery floor-to-ceiling tiles has been crowned Britain's worst place to wash following a nationwide search, as judged by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen
Sarah Smith, a 42-year-old mum-of-two from Hellesdon, Norwich, moved into the house with the winning bathroom a year ago.
She said: 'Many people have asked me if I feel embarrassed. No was my answer.
'My brown bathroom was clearly someone's pride and joy at some point as it's as good as the day it was put in many years ago.
'It is very dark in my bathroom and it is not a relaxing place to take a bath. I look forward to brightening it up and it looking fresh and clean all the time.'
Green and brown were common themes among the finalists of the Victoria Plumbing competition, with thumbs down going to including avocado suites, carpeted floors and bathrooms with no flooring at all.
A mucky wooden floor, brown floral tiles and a tatty chest of drawers saw this bathroom shortlisted among Britain's worst bathrooms. Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen said: 'Badly designed bathrooms are a sign of low self-esteem'

A dreary-looking yellow wash room, complete with chipped paint and rusty nails, saw this bathroom shortlisted among the nation's worst. The survey also revealed 61 per cent of people changed or renovated their bathroom when they moved home
Who thought that was a good idea? The turquoise suite in this bathroom clashes with the red carpet and matching rug. Having a clean and modern bathroom makes life more relaxing while boosting the home¿s desirability when it comes to selling
Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen said: 'Badly designed bathrooms are a sign of low self-esteem.
'When you're faced with a bathroom that looks absolutely repellent first thing in the morning, how are you going to face the world with a smile on your face? It's practically impossible.
'The big thing with bathroom design is to keep it practical, keep it cleanable. Anything too fussy, too frilly or too porous will end up becoming a boutique hotel for mould and germs.
'Finally, floral is fine in a bathroom, but try and pick flowers that actually look like flowers rather than leftover cabbages.'

A bizarre black and brown colour scheme make this retro bathroom look decidedly gloomy, and the retro floor-to-ceiling floral tiling weren't enough to save it
The competition follows research by Victoria Plumbing which found 34 per cent of Britons would like to update their bathroom while one-in-five admit they're embarrassed with their current one.
The survey also revealed 61 per cent of people changed or renovated their bathroom when they moved home.
Joe Pascoe, senior marketing manager at Victoria Plumbing, said: 'Our search for the nation's worst bathroom came from wanting to communicate a simple message: that people shouldn't keep putting up with bad design.
'From exposing dated, coloured suites to wallpaper that isn't fit for purpose, we wanted to encourage people to get their bathroom shame out there and begin the healing process.
'With Christmas just around the corner, we felt that now would be the perfect time to gift the owner of Britain's worst bathroom a much needed upgrade.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
