TOP 5: Kitsch.

‘Kitsch is a form of art that is considered an inferior, tasteless copy of an extant style of art …As a descriptive term, kitsch originated in the art markets of Munich in the 1860s and the 1870s, describing cheap, popular, and marketable pictures and sketches.’ (Thanks, Wikipedia.)

3. Garish, retro carpet.

4. The sistine Chapel…in a London pub.

5. A nice, minimalist sofa. Hah.
