Weekly Wednesdays: Wacky Design Listicles

We here at Listicles are pretty devout design buffs, but the Interweb has a way of generating such a wealth of visually stunning design, art and architecture listicles that we really don’t have the time or space to pass them onto you.

Our catch-up list-of-lists, Weekly Wednesdays, is the perfect venue for us to give the proper dues to the glut of great design listicles of late, as we’re doing today with these Wacky Design Listicles.

  • 7 Ways to Get Rid of the Bed: We once wrote a really long English paper our Freshman year about how we as a culture should get rid of mattresses for a broad variety of valuable reasons that we outlined in details. When we first read the headline of this listicle from TreeHugger we thought we’d found our soulmate, but it turns out it’s mostly about creative lofting solutions, which we find interesting, but not sufficiently extreme.
  • 15 Dirt Buildings: Often frowned upon for being dirty, it turns out that dirt is among the most ecologically sound and architecturally adaptable construction materials we have. This listicle from WebEcoist highlights some terrific examples of dirty construction. (via Neatorama)
  • 5 Felt Projects for the Home: Another oft-overlooked material gets a well-deserved spotlighting in this Apartment Therapy listicle suggesting some easy DIY felt projects for the home. Our favorites are the felt fortune cookies (at right).
  • 14 Strange Toilets: We wrote something somewhat similar about porta potties, but this WebUrbanist listicle rightly highlights design innovations in private toilet design.
  • 15 Funky Floor Designs: Again, Listicles was ahead of this ball with our post on strange carpet and rug designs, but it’s interesting to note the other wacky flooring options available on the market. That’s our favorite below, because we like the idea of our floors being covered in blood.
